The voluntary recall impacts certain Jetson Rogue self-balancing scooters -- also known as hoverboards -- which were sold at Target and on the company's website.
CPSC said a 10-year-old girl and her 15-year-old sister died from an April 2022 fire in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. Local officials determined that a 42-volt Jetson Rogue was the point of origin of the fire, according to a news release from CPSC, which also said "the cause of the fire was undetermined."
But the agency said the lithium-ion battery packs in the hoverboards can overheat, posing a fire hazard. CPSC also said it was aware of other reports of the recalled scooters "burning, sparking or melting, several of which involved reports of flames."
CPSC advised consumers to "immediately" stop using and stop charging the recalled 42-volt version of the self-balancing scooters and contact Jetson for a full refund.
In a statement, Jetson said the voluntary recall was "out of an abundance of caution."

Walmart has removed a recycling-themed shirt from sale after a viral Twitter post pointed out a vulgar acronym hidden within the design.
The shirt featured large lettering reading "RE" on the left, with the words "cycle," "use," "new" and "think" written in smaller lettering on the right. The intended takeaway, apparently, was for onlookers to interpret the message as four distinct words: "recycle," "reuse," "renew" and "rethink."
But the lettering on the right side of the shirt, when read vertically, spelled out an inappropriate four-letter word.
"I need this shirt before Walmart realizes what they have done," wrote the Twitter user in a now-viral post containing an image of the shirt. "Find the hidden word."

The New York Post, citing a police report, said the incident took place in October in Blue Ash, Ohio, when Karen Ivery asked a cashier for the manager regarding the bill and reparations.
The cashier told authorities that Ivery brought up reparations several times during their brief interaction before the manager arrived, the paper said, citing the report.
When speaking with the manager, the customer first asked for reparations and then grew angry as she walked "aggressively" toward the manager, the Post said, citing the report.
"Ivery kept berating her about reparations and her privileged life," the report said, according to the Post, as the customer continued walking toward the manager.
But Ivery allegedly began screaming at Cotter and followed him to his office, the Post reported.
When he tried to shut the door, Ivery allegedly forced her way into the office — and Cotter threw a punch, the Post added, citing the report. Ivery fell to the floor after the wallop.
With that, Zach Cotter — a loss-prevention officer — intervened and asked Ivery to calm down and leave the store, the paper noted, citing the report.
It can be extremely difficult dealing with the public.

Trinity Moravian Church in Winston-Salem bought up and canceled nearly $3.3 million in medical debt belonging to 3,355 families.
According to the Dispatch, this is the second year that members of the church have taken part in the Debt Jubilee Project, which assumes past-due medical bills of residents in the area. Through the project, congregants previously purchased $1.65 million of debt, liberating 1,356 people in Forsyth and Davidson Counties.

A Siena College Poll conducted March 6-9 has provided some damning insights into how New Yorkers view their state.
Nearly 40% of respondents suggested New York is not a good place to raise children; 60% of respondents cast doubt on whether New York is a suitable place to retire; 31% said they would retire someplace else.
When asked whether they plan to continue to live in New York or intend to leave within the next five years, 27% of respondents said they were planning on leaving.
10,824 New Yorkers swapped out their state driver's licenses for Florida licenses in the first three months of 2023, reported the Post, citing new figures from the Florida Department of Highway Safety. This is reportedly a slight slowdown over the same stretch last year, which saw 14,834 move their licenses to Florida.
USA Today reported that over 65,000 New Yorkers ultimately made the switch in 2022 and another 62,000 the year before.

In a two-part interview that will air on Fox News Monday and Tuesday, Tucker Carlson pressed Twitter CEO Elon Musk on whether the U.S. government had access to users' private messages.
Musk answered in the affirmative, noting that this discovery floored him.
Since officially taking control of Twitter in October, Musk has shared various damning insights into both his predecessors' apparent collusion with state actors and the extent of government meddling on the platform.
Through the Twitter Files, he has already helped to illuminate politically motivated censorship campaigns, coordinated efforts by the FBI and Twitter to shape the public discourse, and political interference by partisan agents that has possibly changed elections and transformed the political landscape in the United States.
Musk told Carlson, "The degree to which government agencies effectively had full access to everything that was going on on Twitter blew my mind," said Musk. "I was not aware of that."

A detective from the Utah County Sheriff's Office was sent to investigate the Lehi Farmers Market after reports said it had been operating in violation of state code and zoning ordinances.
As they investigated, detectives found that one of the operators of the farmers market was a 74-year-old sex offender registered on the Utah Sex Offender Registry. The man was arrested April 14, 2023, after police learned that he had not registered himself as a sex offender at his new address.
Previously listed as living in Saratoga Springs, Utah, the man had been living at the same location as the farmers' market and didn't update his address, authorities discovered.
Investigators looked on the Lehi Farmers Market social media pages and found the man dressed up as Elmo from "Sesame Street." They also found two Instagram photos of the sex offender holding a child while he was on a tractor, as well as interacting with animals.

Global Powerlifting Committee New Zealand has since denied Dale Shepherd's application, adopting new rules over the weekend that will preclude him from taking the stage to make his point.
While Shepherd suggests the new rules are similarly "deficient," it appears that with his controversial application, he may have forced a shift in the right direction without having to break a sweat.

A male weightlifter once dubbed "New Zealand's Strongest Man" applied last week to compete in a women's powerlifting competition. His intention was not to defeat women in the sport, but rather to discredit the notion that biological men don't have a physiological advantage over their female peers — an advantage which male transsexuals appear keen to simultaneously exploit and deny.

On Sunday, two passengers aboard American Airlines flight 292 from New York City to Delhi, India, got into a heated argument. At least one of the two had reportedly become inebriated and "unruly" during the 15-hour flight from JFK to Indira Gandhi International Airport. Tensions between the two eventually escalated to the point that the unidentified drunken man began urinating on his opponent, witnesses claimed.
Indian authorities were waiting for the suspect when the plane landed in New Delhi around 9 p.m. The respective identities of the suspect and the alleged victim have not been released, though the suspect is believed to be an Indian national.

Announcing his re-election campaign, Biden is trying to make himself, and his party, the champions of the people who have most suffered under his lack of leadership: the working and middle class. But he hasn't been investing in America, as he claims, and which also isn't his job — but he has been decimating economic opportunity.
From day one, President Biden has attacked traditional sources of energy, making them less abundant and more expensive in terms of both direct energy costs and the costs of the 6,000 derivative products and myriad other services that depend upon fossil fuels.
His "American Rescue Plan" was the opposite of its name. Biden and friends overstimulated the economy and caused inflation the likes of which we hadn't seen in 40-plus years. This created a heavy burden on the cost of everyday living for millions of Americans across the country.
Biden and his administration pushed for lowering the reporting threshold for online transactions to $600 and sought $80 billion in IRS funding to enforce that and other rules, not for billionaires, as claimed, but for Main Street Americans.
He has formalized business social credit in the form of ESG, putting the whims and desires of his elite cronies over your best interests, without any legislative process. Biden's administration entrenched ESG pushers at the SEC, and his Department of Labor put out a rule allowing retirement plan managers to shirk their fiduciary duty to you as an investor, prioritizing ESG initiatives over your investment returns.
Biden, without congressional support or approval, fully weaponized the dollar on the international stage, making a huge move with massive consequences for the financial world order, in freezing Russia's dollar-denominated reserve assets and pushing allies around the world to do the same.
As a consequence, this accelerated the push to dethrone "King Dollar" as the world's reserve currency, with countries around the world making moves to de-dollarize.
His latest attack on the middle class comes with an extra knife-twist: It penalizes those with good credit. It was announced that as of May 1, those with high credit scores, the responsible people who do the best with their financial circumstances, will be penalized on their mortgage fees. That's right, the FHFA mandated the increase of loan-level price adjustment fees for those with good credit scores to partially subsidize "riskier" homebuyers with poor credit scores.
Biden and friends' pursuit of equity means that everyone ends up the same — poor (well, except for the elite).
As the Fed has been raising interest rates, meant as a signal to ease up on spending, Biden, along with his congressional supporters, have not even feigned interest in slowing their spending, racking up a $1.1 trillion deficit through the first half of 2023 and proposing a budget with more government spending and expansion.
Nobody (besides perhaps some elite, well-connected cronies and profiteers related to Biden's various initiatives) believes their financial standing is better off because of Biden's policies. Many Americans may not know about all the above policies, but they do go to the grocery store and see what's listed on the checkout register.
A NBC poll showed that 70% of respondents didn't want Biden to run again for president. Given the financial trajectory the U.S. is on today, if they don't trust their guts and their wallets, today's runaway fiscal train will derail.
Biden has been disaster for Americans in the middle.

On April 14, someone from Washington state contacted the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children regarding the possible online sexual exploitation of a child by a teacher at Poole's Mill Elementary School in Cumming, Georgia, about 40 miles northeast of the state capital. NCMEC then alerted the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
An investigation into the NCMEC tip led police to 38-year-old James Andrew "Drew" Cecil, who had been teaching fourth grade at Poole's Mill Elementary for about two years. He also previously spent five years as a teacher and volleyball coach at North Forsyth High School in the same district.

Even funnier were the ratings Tucker's subsequent Twitter video made online... millions in the first couple of hours.
Hey, if FOX wants to race CNN to the bottom, I say "let them". As for Tucker... well it rather looks as if FOX paying out his contract is an effort to silence him (at least severely limit his reach) ahead of the 2024 elections.
It will be interesting to hear what he has to say, should he adopt a "no fucks given" approach to the terms and conditions of his dismissal.

Katie Sorensen, 31, was found guilty of one count of making a false report of a crime, the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office said on Thursday. Sorensen was taken into custody on $100,000 bail.
In December 2020, Sorensen claimed that a man and woman attempted to kidnap her two children in the parking lot of a Michaels craft store in Petaluma, a city roughly 40 miles north of San Francisco. She reported the alleged crime to the Petaluma Police Department.
About a week later, the mom influencer posted a video on social media talking about the alleged kidnapping attempt. The Instagram video regarding the alleged child abduction attempt went viral, quickly racking up more than 4 million views. Sorensen has since deleted her Instagram account, which had nearly 60,000 followers.
"My children were the targets of an attempted kidnapping," Sorensen said at the time. "I want to share that story with you in an effort as to what signs to look for and encourage parents to be more aware of their surroundings and what is going on around them."
Sorensen also appeared on a local news program to discuss the alleged kidnapping attempt.
Sorensen fingered Sadie and Eddie Martinez in the alleged kidnapping attempt. The social media influencer claimed that she was "paralyzed with fear" when the couple allegedly attempted to kidnap her children. The couple was at Michaels purchasing a decorative baby Jesus.

The couple denied the California woman's accusations.
NBC News reported, "Sorensen, who described herself on social media as a 'mom influencer,' said the couple gave her the 'heebie-jeebies' and 'weren't clean-cut individuals.'"
However, police determined that Sorensen fabricated the fake kidnapping attempt.
Sadie and Eddie Martinez told the Petaluma Argus-Courier that the kidnapping accusations made against them were racially motivated.

It always has been, but we always knew this.
So, here's how things work after talking with a recycling facility employee a few days ago, when dropping off some 'recyclables' at the depot (rural folk are always willing to chat)...
This employee was there to ensure that not one item from one category was placed into a bin from another category. All plastic is different, and if any mixing occurs the entire load goes to the landfill, either local or foreign.
Styrofoam included. 'Hard' styrofoam cannot be mixed with 'soft' styrofoam. If it gets mixed, off to the landfill the entire load goes.
Within plastics alone, there are numerous varieties of plastics. They cannot be mixed, or it gets landfilled. The VAST MAJORITY of people wouldn't know the fucking difference between plastics.

On Monday night, Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill filed a 177-page verdict announcing that he had found former Officer Tou Thao guilty of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. Thao, who kept bystanders at bay while Officer Derek Chauvin restrained Floyd, acted in an "unreasonable" manner, Cahill determined.
Rather than face a jury trial, Thao opted to place his fate in the hands of Cahill, who had already presided over Chauvin's murder trial. Prosecutors agreed to drop the more serious charge — aiding and abetting murder — against Thao if he were convicted of a lesser charge. Thao, 37, will be sentenced in August and likely faces about four years in prison for the state conviction.

Paul Stanley followed up his recent statements about parents pushing children into gender transition surgeries by remarking that his words "clearly were not" clear and that he firmly supports those struggling with sexual identity.
As reported by TimCast, the rock star's pivot comes just four days after his April 30, 2023, online post criticizing parents who push their children into gender transition surgeries too easily and attempt to normalize the act.
"There is a big difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children," Stanley said.
The musician changed his tune in his May 4, 2023, comments, saying "While my thoughts were clear, my words clearly were not. Most importantly and above all else, I support those struggling with their sexual identity while enduring constant hostility and those whose path leads them to reassignment surgery," he explained.

Harvey Nichols: bought for $101.9 million (£53.6m)
Founded in 1831, Harvey Nichols is one of London's most upscale department stores. There are currently 15 different Harvey Nichols stores around the world, including three in Hong Kong. The chain was bought by Hong Kong-based company Dickson Concepts in 1991 for $101.9 million (£53.6m).
Dirt Devil, as part of Royal Appliances Manufacturing Company: bought for $105.5 million (£74.2m)
Dirt Devil, the US manufacturer of vacuum cleaners, was originally founded in 1905. In 2002, its parent company Royal Appliances Manufacturing Company was bought by the Hong Kong company Techtronic Industries for $105.5 million (£74.2m).
Hoover USA: bought for $107 million (£54.5m)
Dirt Devil isn't the only vacuum brand that's been sucked up Techtronic Industries. The Whirlpool Corporation sold the US division of Hoover to Techtronic Industries in 2007 for $107 million (£54.5m) in cash. The international arm of the Hoover brand was originally owned by Italian appliance maker Candy, but that was taken over by Chinese consumer electronics firm Haier in 2019. That means the entire Hoover brand is now under Chinese control.
MG Rover: bought for $96.1 million (£50m)
In 2005, UK-based automotive brand MG Rover was bailed out by China's oldest vehicle manufacturer, Nanjing Automobile, for $96.1 million (£70.2m). Two years later, Nanjing was bought by Shanghai-based SAIC Motor. The company ceased all production at MG's Longbridge plant near Birmingham, England in 2016 and moved all operations to China.
Rio Tinto: bought for $12.8 billion (£6.5bn)
Chinalco, one of the world's biggest aluminium producers, is owned by the Chinese government. In February 2008, the company bought a minority stake in British-Australian mining company Rio Tinto for a whopping $12.8 billion (£6.5bn). By 2019, Chinalco owned a 14.51% stake in the company, making it Rio Tinto's biggest shareholder. Chinalco's share cannot exceed 15% though as a result of foreign ownership restrictions imposed by Australian regulators back in 2008.
OZ Minerals: bought for $1.4 billion (£989m)
OZ Minerals is a modern mining company in South Australia that focuses on copper mines across Australia and in Brazil. The company was drowning in debt in 2009 when it was acquired by Chinese mineral and metals trading firm Minmetals, which now goes by the name of MMG. The deal came in at $1.4 billion (£989m).
Volvo: bought for $1.8 billion (£1.3bn)
Renowned for its safe and reliable cars, the vehicles arm of much-loved Swedish automotive company Volvo was sold by Ford to China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group for $1.8 billion (£1.3bn) in 2010. In July 2021, Volvo signed a deal with its parent company to take over Geely's stake in its joint ventures in China, making it the first non-Chinese carmaker to have full control over its operations in the People's Republic. China accounted for 25% of Volvo's total car sales in 2020, followed by the United States (17%), Sweden (8%) and Germany (7%).
Club Med: bought for more than $1.1 billion (£803m)
In 2010, Chinese investment company Fosun International bought a 7.1% stake in the French all-inclusive vacation brand Club Med. Five years later, and following a two-year bidding war, the conglomerate went the whole hog and raised its stake to 98% at a cost of $1.1 billion (£803m).
Cerruti: bought for up to $71.7 million (£48.1m)
Presitigious Italian fashion brand Cerruti was snapped up by Chinese investors in 2010. Famed for its luxurious men's suits and classic 1881 fragrance, the brand was bought by Hong Kong-based Trinity for up to $71.7 million (£52.3m). The acquisition came as part of the company's ambitious expansion programme in the UK and China.
Miss Sixty: bought for an undisclosed amount
The popular Italian womenswear brand was snapped up by Guangzhou's Trendy International Group in 2012. The parent company controls a range of fashion brands, which includes Energie, Murphy & Nye and Killah. Miss Sixty's owner announced in 2016 that the brand could go public in the upcoming year, but no IPO has happened yet. The business was estimated to be worth $5 billion (£3.6bn) at the time.
AMC Theaters: bought for $2.6 billion (£1.9bn)
AMC Theaters, the American cinema chain that became a so-called meme stock in January 2022 when people began investing in their droves after discussions on social network Reddit, was bought by the Dalian Wanda Group for $2.6 billion (£1.9bn) in 2012. Although other global companies have subsequently invested in the firm, Wanda Group still has majority control over the chain.

Snider recently earned the ire of San Francisco Pride after he expressed agreement with what the organization claimed was a "transphobic statement" put out by Paul Stanley of Kiss.
Stanley had appeared to argue that adults should not encourage kids to identify as the opposite sex. Snider agreed, tweeting, "You know what? There was a time where I 'felt pretty' too. Glad my parents didn't jump to any rash conclusions! Well said, @PaulStanleyLive."
San Francisco Pride announced that plans to have Snider perform had been scrapped, writing, "[W]hen we were notified about the tweet in which Dee expressed support for Kiss's Paul Stanley's transphobic statement, we were heartbroken and angry. The message perpetuated by that tweet casts doubt on young trans people's ability to self-identify their gender." The organization declared, "We have mutually agreed to part ways, but appreciate Dee seeing this as a teachable moment and a reminder that even allies need to be educated to ensure that they are not casually promoting transphobia."

Basal metabolic rate, or basal energy expenditure, refers to the energy required per unit of time for the body to maintain vital functions such as breathing, blood circulation, and maintaining body temperature. Put simply, BMR is the number of calories the body burns while at rest. BMR is one component in the body's total energy expenditure. The other is activity expenditure, the number of calories burned during physical activity, such as running or walking.
According to the study, which analyzed data from the present day back to the late 1980s from nearly 4,800 adults in Europe and the United States, the adjusted total daily energy expenditure has decreased significantly since the 1990s. The data indicated a decline of approximately 7.7 percent in men and 5.6 percent in women. In terms of adjusted basal energy expenditure, men experienced a drop of 14.7 percent over time, while women's decline was 2 percent and not deemed significant. However, the authors noted that a larger dataset of BMR measurements of nearly 10,000 adults across 163 studies going back 100 years confirms the decline in both men and women.
"The surprising conclusion is we spend less energy when resting now than individuals did 30-40 years ago!" John Speakman, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenzhen, China, and a lead author of the study, wrote on Twitter. "The magnitude of the effect is sufficient to explain the obesity epidemic."

Conservative beer drinkers blasted Bud Light for partnering with Mulvaney – the transgender TikTok star and creator of the "Days of Girlhood" series. Now, gay bars in Illinois are boycotting Bud Light for not supporting Mulvaney enough.
The 2Bears Tavern Group owns four "LGBTQIA+ establishments" in Chicago. The LGBTQ group proclaimed on Friday, "All 2Bears Tavern Group bars are discontinuing Anheuser-Busch InBev products as a result of the brewer's anti-transgender actions and statements."
"In view of Anheuser-Busch InBev's abandonment of its support of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, the subsequent reprehensible and divisive comments by its CEO ... 2Bears Tavern Group is discontinuing all Anheuser-Busch InBev products including Busch Light, Bud Light, and Goose Island 312," the 2Bears Tavern Group said in a statement.

While the presiding judge in 31-year-old Darren Glines' case determined there was "no question that Glines was in the women's locker room," he ultimately let the transvestite off the hook because of the YMCA's gender identification policy and the transvestite's giant gut.
The YMCA of Greater Dayton refused to bar the male patron from the once female-only space.
"Under no circumstance will we investigate an individual's birth identity and then assign individuals to locker rooms. That would be counter to the law, counter to respect for all people and it is not who or what we are as an organization," the organization said in a statement.
Glines' activist attorneys Lauren and Keara Dever argued that in addition to having the permission to parade around naked in the women's locker room, it is "fair to say that the whole genital area was covered by body fat."

The National Post reported that the new design for the Canadian Royal Crown also replaces other religious symbols such as the fleur-de-lis — and other crosses — for maple leaves. The Catholic Church has viewed the fleur-de-lis as a symbol for the Virgin Mary, and its three "petals" have been used to represent the Holy Trinity.
How are folks reacting?
As you might expect, the new crown design is being blasted on Twitter — particularly because the term "snowflake" has in recent years come to represent young leftists. The bulldozing of religion also was noted.
"Makes sense, snowflakes while we're under a snowflake," one commenter wrote.
"More Cultural Marxism," another user said. "There's a war on Christianity around the world. And it's been foretold."
"Might as well just put 666 on it," another commenter suggested.
"Anyone who thinks our drama queen [prime minister] who professes a love for the murderous, tyrannical communist Chinese regime would do anything but try to destroy our traditions and heritage that made us great are deluded and deranged, if not mentally ill," another user said. "God save us."
"The snowflake is a perfect depiction of today's Canadian society!" another commenter declared.
"Roflmao. Canada has totally become the country of snowflakes. Oh my," another user noted.
"I am surprised Canada did not replace the cross with a homosexual flag or a black fist," another commenter wrote.

Young men at highest risk of schizophrenia linked with cannabis use disorder
NIH study highlights the need to proactively screen for, prevent, and treat cannabis use disorder especially among young people.
Young men with cannabis (marijuana) use disorder have an increased risk of developing schizophrenia, according to a study led by researchers at the Mental Health Services in the Capital Region of Denmark and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health. The study, published in Psychological Medicine(link is external), analyzed detailed health records data spanning 5 decades and representing more than 6 million people in Denmark to estimate the fraction of schizophrenia cases that could be attributed to cannabis use disorder on the population level.
Researchers found strong evidence of an association between cannabis use disorder and schizophrenia among men and women, though the association was much stronger among young men. Using statistical models, the study authors estimated that as many as 30% of cases of schizophrenia among men aged 21-30 might have been prevented by averting cannabis use disorder.

Most of the charges relate to Santos' recently improved financial situation. For years, Santos struggled to pay his rent and had been threatened with eviction on multiple occasions, the AP reported. However, Santos claimed on financial disclosure forms that Devolder Organization, a luxury-item brokering firm established in Florida two years ago, has since paid him $750,000 a year. He also claimed to have received a total of $6 million in dividends from Devolder as well, though prosecutors said the firm never gave him any of that money.
Santos has also been accused of establishing Redstone Strategies, another Florida company, in 2021 to raise money for his political campaign but then using the money for personal expenses such as designer clothes and debt payments. In October 2022, just a month before his election, he wired tens of thousands of dollars from that company's account to a personal account and to accounts belonging to some of his associates, the indictment claimed. The month before, he may have set up yet another LLC and twice funneled $25,000 in campaign contributions from the company's account to a personal account.
Additionally, there are allegations that Santos illicitly collected $24,000 in unemployment benefits during the government shutdown for COVID. The indictment claimed that Santos applied for and received the benefits in 2020, even as he remained employed with an investment firm that has since been investigated as a Ponzi scheme.
He was charged on Tuesday evening by prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York, and he was taken into federal custody on Wednesday. He currently faces 13 counts, including wire fraud, money laundering, theft, and lying to Congress.

Musk will continue to own the social media company and will play a technical role in the platform, but someone else will lead the day-to-day management of the company.
"Excited to announce that I've hired a new CEO for X/Twitter. She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will transition to being exec chair & [Chief Technology Officer], overseeing product, software & [system operators]," Musk posted on Twitter Thursday afternoon.
Musk provided no additional details about the future of the social media platform.
The leadership shake-up comes about seven months after Musk took over ownership of the platform in October of last year.
The move was not altogether unexpected. Musk had posted in December that he would resign as CEO of the platform as soon as he could find a suitable replacement.

Yaccarino is chairman of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal (NBCU), where she has worked for more than a decade and manages a global team of 2,000 people who have generated more than $100 billion in ad sales, according to her company profile.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Yaccarino is also involved with the World Economic Forum, WEF, where she chairs the organization's taskforce on the future of work and sits on the media, entertainment and culture industry governors steering committee.
The executive's connection to a pandemic-era vaccination campaign has also bothered proponents of Twitter's more liberal content moderation policies, many of whom fear Yaccarino could bring back the stricter bars for misinformation that they struggled to clear before Musk did away with them.

Between 2010 and 2020, electricity bills rose 1.6 percent across the US, but twenty five percent in California. The reason for the difference are goofy green mandates.
Hence the exodus from California to Texas and Florida.

At around 6:20 p.m. on Thursday evening, police were called to an Arby's restaurant on Admiral Doyle Drive in New Iberia, Louisiana, about 20 miles south of Lafayette. When they arrived, they found that a store employee had found a female coworker unresponsive in the walk-in freezer. The woman was later pronounced deceased.

"What does justice for these victims require? It requires a conviction on each and every count," Wood said.
Defense attorney Jim Archibald countered that there was no evidence tying his client to the killings but plenty showing she was a loving, protective mother whose life took a sharp turn when she met her fifth husband, Chad Daybell, and fell for the "weird" apocalyptic religious claims of a cult leader.

The fine, imposed by Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner (DPC), came after Meta continued to transfer data beyond a 2020 EU court ruling that invalidated an EU-U.S. data transfer pact. It tops the previous record EU privacy fine of 746 million euros handed by Luxembourg to Amazon.com Inc in 2021.

Meta was hit with a record 1.2 billion euro ($1.3 billion) fine by its lead European Union privacy regulator over its handling of user information and given five months to stop transferring users' data to the United States.
Yeah, I can't see Meta doing that. More likely they'll ignore the fine, the EU will prance about making empty threats for a bit and ultimately back down.
Remember, Truedeaup tried to get Zuck to the table a few years back. Noises were made about Canada shutting off access to Fecesbook. Canadian Fecesbook lovers cried at the government. And that was about the sum total of it.
Come to think of it, Australia demanded Fecesbook and Jewgle pay a levy for reposted media content not long after. Three poofteenths of fuck all was the result there too.

Explosion of AP climate change stories following $8 million environmental grant
In the year following a grant of more than $8 million to the Associated Press from key climate change advocates, the news service has poured out at least 64 stories warning of environmental calamity, according to a new media study.
Media Research Center Business charted the stories and language used following the multimillion-dollar grant and found that AP also used over 500 environmental extremism buzzwords in the stories.
The media giant, which feeds news outlets worldwide, received grants totaling $8 million from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Quadrivium, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Walton Family Foundation in February 2022.
AP said it would hire 20 new environmental writers with the money to create a climate swat team to "enhance the global understanding of climate change and its impact across the world."
So far, it has lived up to its promise, said MRC Business, a branch of the conservative media watchdog.
In its study, provided to Secrets, MRC Business wrote, "The term 'Climate Change' itself appeared a whopping 212 times. 'Warming' and 'Global Warming' appeared 140 times collectively. 'Extreme(s)' emerged 32 times and 'Disaster(s)' and 'Climate Disaster' appeared a collective 30 times. One Dec. 9, 2022, AP story was headlined: 'New abnormal: Climate disaster damage down to $268 billion.'"

The Mississippi boy, Aderrien Murry, was shot in the chest by an Indianola Police Department officer in the early morning when the officer responded to a domestic disturbance call that the boy himself made, according to his mother, Nakala Murry, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.
The mother told police that the father of another one of her children came to the home at 4 a.m. and was "irate," prompting her to ask her son Aderrien to call the police.
Upon arrival, Murry said the police officer "had his gun drawn at the front door and asked those inside the home to come outside." She said that her son was shot as he was coming around the corner of a hallway into the living room.
"Once he came from around the corner, he got shot," Murry said. "I cannot grasp why. The same cop that told him to come out of the house. [Aderrien] did, and he got shot. He kept asking, 'Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong?'" she added.
Murry said it felt like the shooting happened "one to two minutes" after the officer's directives were given.
After the boy was shot, Murry placed her hand on his wound to apply pressure while the officer tried to give first aid. The officer then put his hand on top of hers to try to stop the bleeding.
The 11-year-old was given a chest tube and placed on a ventilator at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in jackassson after developing a collapsed lung, fractured ribs, and a lacerated liver because of the shooting, his mother said. He was since released from hospital, according to CNN.
The family has been calling for the police officer's firing and held a press conference with an attorney. Attendees held signs such as "Your 'best' cop shot my baby."
Attorney Carlos Moore promoted the press conference on his Twitter page, saying, "We demand Justice for Aderrien Murry! He was unarmed and only trying to follow his mom who was victim of domestic violence. Officer Greg Capers must be terminated! See you at 7 pm!" Moore wrote.

Only 43 percent of respondents now expect to comfortably live during retirement, down from 48 percent in 2022 and 57 percent in 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2002 when the poll began, 59 percent of non-retirees expected to live comfortably post-retirement.

Chicago's North Avenue Beach opened at 11 a.m. on Friday. Police responded to several shots fired around 1:26 p.m. in the 1600 block of North Lake Shore Drive at the North Avenue Beach.
Video shows two groups of teens angrily confronting each other before gunshots erupt. There were approximately 100 people in the area when the shooting occurred. Video shows the windows of a Chicago Park District truck shot out.
The North Avenue Beach was immediately closed, as was the nearby bike path.
WBBM-TV reported, "Police said a group of young men got into a fight on the beach when someone pulled out a gun and started shooting."
Police arrested a 15-year-old boy, who they claim was the shooter. The suspect was charged with one count of aggravated assault discharge of firearm, and one count of criminal damage to property worth $500 to $10,000, both felonies.

The city of Chicago opened all 22 area beaches on Friday morning. However, one of the busiest beaches was closed only hours after opening because gunshots rang out.
Chicago's North Avenue Beach opened at 11 a.m. on Friday. Police responded to several shots fired around 1:26 p.m. in the 1600 block of North Lake Shore Drive at the North Avenue Beach.
Video shows two groups of teens angrily confronting each other before gunshots erupt. There were approximately 100 people in the area when the shooting occurred. Video shows the windows of a Chicago Park District truck shot out.
The North Avenue Beach was immediately closed, as was the nearby bike path.

Several news outlets are reporting that President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have reached a tentative deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling, narrowly avoiding the first default in United States history. Following a months-long standoff, the two sides reportedly struck a deal to raise the nation's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling.

If Congress approves the debt ceiling package, the pipeline, which is 94% complete, is expected to generate 2,500 construction jobs, $40 million in tax revenue for West Virginia, and $10 million for Virginia. It is anticipated to transport approximately 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily to consumers in the southeast.
The completion of the pipeline repeatedly has been stalled for years over environmental concerns and lengthy permitting processes.

I have my theories.... but in the end, they're only theories because I can't show any tangible proof in order to support them.
But isn't that the story of humanity? We, as modern humans, have existed for tens of thousands of years, yet all our faith systems only really started to take a seat at the religion (state power) tables over the last few thousand or so.
I disagree with Lokmar about Christianity for one reason alone....
....the uninitiated. Those that have never been preached to or told about the bible or Jesus.
Lokmar has an issue with anybody who rejects Christianity. That much is clear.
But what are thoughts of those that are unaware of it?
Do they still go to Christian hell for not accepting things they don't know about and were never informed of?
That's the starting block for Lokmar's undoing. He'll resist like a Harvest Festival queen on game night, but everybody knows a cherry is getting popped or re-popped...

In the bulletin, released on May 17, Carfax said that those vehicles are currently subject to "do not drive" and "park outside" safety recalls. About 10 states have more than 70,000 vehicles each driving on their roads, with California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania leading the way.
"All recalls need to be taken seriously, but these two types are more time-sensitive than most because they urge owners to either not operate their vehicle, or to park away from any structure to avoid a fire. There have been serious consequences from some of the problems that these vehicles are being recalled for," said Carfax on its website.
Meanwhile, Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief for Carfax, noted that many of the urgent recalls were issued more than a decade ago by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA). In elaborating, he told 11ABC last week that a "park outside" notice means that a vehicle has an elevated risk of causing a structure fire.

Despite intense scrutiny, BLM GNF persisted in hiring kin of its founder, Patrisse Cullors, and various board members. Paul Cullors, primarily known for his graffiti artistry with no experience in security, held a paid position as 'head of security,' garnering a $126,000 salary on top of his consulting fees.
Black Lives Matter's (BLM) national establishment faces the specter of bankruptcy, as its finances nosedived to an $8.5 million deficit last year, concurrently awarding multiple employees with salaries in the seven-figure range.
The Washington Free Beacon revealed the precarious financial state of BLM's Global Network Foundation (BLM GNF), a more formal structure for the civil rights movement that officially emerged in November 2020.
In the wake of Patrisse Cullors' resignation in May 2021, BLM GNF continued to attract controversy with lucrative hiring decisions. Among them, Shalomyah Bowers, who replaced Cullors, saw his consultancy firm amass $1.6 million for management and consulting services in 2022, according to the Free Beacon.
The sister of a board member also earned $1.1 million for "consulting."
Furthermore, BLM GNF struggled with a loss in investment value of nearly $10 million in the most recent tax year and an 88 percent decrease in donations between 2021 and 2022. Despite such a financial downturn, the group invested over $12 million in opulent properties in Los Angeles and Toronto, arousing widespread consternation.
In the midst of this financial storm, the group's new board of directors, led by nonprofit adviser Cicley Gay, appears to be mired in personal financial issues. Gay, who has been declared bankrupt three times, is now in the hot seat, with the task of reshaping the organization's finances in the wake of public scrutiny.
Fueled by this financial tumult, BLM has vowed to enhance transparency, citing an "internal audit" and "tightening compliance operations" as vital steps forward. Despite the organization's turbulent finances, its resolute commitment to "rebuild trust" and "sustain Black people for generations" remains unwavering. Supposedly.

According to data by Bump Williams Consulting and Nielsen IQ, sales of Bud Light dropped 25.7 percent for the week ending May 20, reported the New York Post. Its nearest rival, Modelo Especial, saw its sales increase by 9.2 percent for the same week, Williams said.
Overall, Bud Light's sales are down 24.3 percent for the four-week period that ended on May 20, the data show. Modelo, meanwhile, has grown by 8 percent in the same timeframe. Perhaps the biggest winner is Pennsylvania-based Yuengling, which bills itself as "America's Oldest Brewery," as the brand's Yuengling Flight has increased by 47.6 percent in the four-week period.
"While Bud Light loses week after week, Modelo Especial gains week after week and now Modelo outsells Bud Light on a national basis across all trade channels combined," marketing consultant Williams told the New York Post about the latest figures.

So I heard a rumor on the net that Jaime Foxx has a blood clot on the brain and he is now half paralyzed and blind and everyone is blaming the jab. Normally I would dismiss this as trolling but it seems to be picking up, I'm seeing reports on news sites and influencers are starting to talk about it. Hope the guy recovers regardless.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WH_C1OzBLg

Speaking at the Bernstein 39th Annual Strategic Decisions Conference, Isom stated, "We would deploy properly to markets that aren't being served. We would do that today. It's just we don't have the pilots."
This issue arises at a time when the airline industry is witnessing a record demand for travel, particularly during the summer season. However, the capacity to meet this demand is constrained by the lack of pilots, leading to grounded planes and missed opportunities to capitalize on high ticket prices. Isom noted that the situation is more severe than the previous year when the pilot shortage began to significantly affect regional airlines as demand rebounded following the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On May 31, a viral video revealed a male cast member dressed in woman's clothing working with little girls at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Disneyland Park.
Taking its name and overall inspiration from Walt Disney Animation's feature film "Cinderella" and the Fairy Godmother's magic words, which triggers Cinderella's "rags to riches" transformation, the boutique is a long-established extra-cost service that gives guests under 12 the opportunity to dress up like their favorite princess. Boys also have the opportunity to be transformed into Prince Charming or a knight.
Until now, the boutique was operated by an all-woman staff with the title of Fairy Godmother. But this video coming out of Disneyland appears to prove those days are over. And while integrating men into the Disneyfied beauty parlor may not ruffle too many feathers, the video shows that this obviously male Disneyland cast member was dressed like a woman—makeup, dress, and all.

The company made the announcement in a blog post on Friday, which comes about two months after it reinstated former President Donald Trump's YouTube account.
Trump's account on YouTube was suspended in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, which came as the former president alleged that the 2020 election had been stolen.
YouTube established its "elections misinformation" policy in December 2020, and on Friday said that in the time since it was imposed, the company had removed tens of thousands of videos.
"We carefully deliberated this change," YouTube said, citing a "changed landscape" in which the 2024 election campaign is in full swing and that removing election-related content could stifle political speech.
"In the current environment, we find that while removing this content does curb some misinformation, it could also have the unintended effect of curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm," the company said.
YouTube pledged that, starting Friday, it will stop removing content that advances claims that "widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in the 2020 and other past US Presidential elections."

EPA said in a June 5 press release that it had reached a settlement with Anheuser-Busch, resolving the company's violations of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and the Clean Air Act's chemical accident prevention requirements.
As part of the settlement, the Bud Light maker must pay a $537,000 fine and is required to implement a comprehensive safety review at 11 of its breweries where a hazardous chemical called anhydrous ammonia is used.
Breweries that use anhydrous ammonia as part of the refrigeration system must comply with strict safety regulations regarding handling and storage of the chemical to protect both staff and the community.
An EPA investigation of three of Anheuser-Busch's facilities in New Hampshire, Colorado, and California led to findings of non-compliance.

The Cleveland Clinic recently partnered with OneTen, a group dedicated to "clos[ing] the opportunity gap for Black talent in America," according to the organization's website.
"OneTen's mission is to hire, promote and advance one million Black individuals who do not have a four-year degree into family-sustaining careers over the next ten years," the website reads.
However, Do No Harm program manager Laura Morgan told the DCNF that the clinic's diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring practices could deteriorate the quality of its patient care.
"This is bad for healthcare because it places all the focus on identity and race-based criteria instead of weighing merit and achievement for all applicants," Morgan stated. "Cleveland Clinic has a reputation for world-class patient care. It needs to maintain that commitment instead of engaging in policies that promote the ideologies of the DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) narrative."

Four toddlers, between the ages of 1 and 3, were cut up along with two adults, ages 70 and 78. Despite their life-threatening wounds, all victims survived, though two remain in critical condition.
The attacker, identified as Abdalmasih H., moved from Syria to Sweden in 2013, where he married a native Swede whom he previously met in Turkey. The couple, who have a 3-year-old together, recently split up, reported the Telegraph.
The attacker, recently fined for simultaneously claiming a student grant and unemployment support, had his asylum request granted in Sweden in April 2023, though made clear he'd prefer to live in France, having submitted an asylum bid to that effect in November 2022.
While French authorities rejected his asylum request on April 26, his approved claim in Sweden enabled the attacker to travel throughout the European Union passport-free.
A witness, identified as Ferdinand, told the broadcaster BFMTV that after the attacker entered the playground, "he started screaming, he walked towards the strollers and started repeatedly stabbing the little ones."

The agency issued the warning in a public service announcement on June 6, drawing attention to how malicious actors take advantage of image and video editing tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to create deepfakes, which are fake media created from otherwise benign content.
"The FBI continues to receive reports from victims, including minor children and non-consenting adults, whose photos or videos were altered into explicit content," the agency said in the alert. "The photos or videos are then publicly circulated on social media or pornographic websites, for the purpose of harassing victims or sextortion schemes."
The agency noted that it has observed an increase in the number of victims reporting sextortion as of April this year, with fake media being created using "content posted on their social media sites or web postings, provided to the malicious actor upon request, or captured during video chats."

According to Boston.com, on June 2, 2023, students at Marshall Simonds Middle School showed their obvious displeasure with the school's "spirit day" celebration. The event was requested and sponsored by the school's Spectrum Club, a student group for alleged LGBTQ+ students and allies, according to the outlet.
The club decorated the school with "Happy Pride Month" signs and posters that said "Why it's not OK to say 'That's so gay.'" Rainbow streamers, banners, and stickers were handed out, while students and faculty were encouraged to wear rainbow clothing.
Opposing students reportedly tore down banners and signs and chanted "U.S.A. are my pronouns" as they wore red, white, and blue clothes with their faces painted. The outlet also reported that students were seen "being inappropriate" with the rainbow stickers used during the event.

A white woman who formerly worked as a regional manager for Starbucks has won a civil rights lawsuit in which she claimed that she was fired because of her race.
On Monday, a federal jury awarded Shannon Phillips a whopping $25 million in punitive damages and an additional $600,000 in compensatory damages after members unanimously agreed that Starbucks had fired her on racial grounds. "I was terminated because I am white," Phillips said in court documents filed in 2019. "If I was black, I would not have been terminated. I was terminated because I complained of and objected to race discrimination."
The circumstances surrounding Phillips' termination began five years ago, when two black men, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson, were infamously arrested at a Starbucks store in Philadelphia after employees told them they could not use the store restrooms unless they first made a purchase. The men refused to leave or purchase anything, insisting that they were still waiting on a third party. Because of their intransigence that day, an employee eventually called the cops, and the two were arrested, though they were never charged with any crime.
Phillips, who worked for Starbucks for 13 years, was not the manager on duty when the arrest took place, nor was she involved in the decision to call police on Nelson and Robinson. In fact, she was a regional director responsible for overseeing 100 stores spanning parts of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and had little input in the day-to-day operations of those establishments.
Yet she alleged in the lawsuit that she and other white employees became scapegoats, suspended or let go from their jobs "to convince the community that [Starbucks] had properly responded to the incident." Soon after it happened, Phillips claimed she was ordered to place a white manager, who had been with the company for 15 years, on administrative leave for supposed racial discrimination, even though Phillips did not believe the man had done anything wrong.
Phillips also noted in court documents that the district manager of the store where the arrests occurred is black but that he had not been reprimanded or otherwise penalized for his connection with the incident.

People reacted with shock after all three contestants on an episode of the long-running "Jeopardy!" quiz show were apparently stumped by an elementary Bible knowledge-related question.
None of the three players rang in to respond when host Mayim Bialik presented a clue that read, "MATTHEW 6:9 SAYS, 'OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN', THIS 'BE THY NAME.'"
After the apparently clueless contestants failed to offer a response, Bialik supplied the answer: "Hallowed be thy name."

Statistics Canada reports that the country's population has been growing at a "record-setting pace," with 1,050,110 additional people arriving in 2022 - the first time in history the agency says the population grew by more than one million people in a single year. It's also the highest annual population growth rate on record since 1957, when the baby boom after the Second World War contributed to very high rates.
This trend of growth comes "in large part" from permanent and temporary migration, the agency says, and if current trends continue the population could reach 50 million in just 20 years.

Canada's population is about to hit the major milestone of 40 million. And according to that clock, Canada will hit the 40-million mark just before 3 p.m. Eastern on June 16.

People are going to see the Law of Diminishing Returns in action happen right before their very eyes with these numbers... Which I understand, but the left does not, nor does the right to be honest, but they both will...
Once they've realized that their kids or grand kids will never be able to own a home in this country, they just might put 2+2 together and realize that insane immigration levels isn't solving that problem, contrary to what we've been told.
Once they've realized that they'll sit for 10 hours in an ER room waiting to be seen, or wait months or even years for a procedure, they'll realize that these millions of immigrants aren't actually helping as we've been told they would... The reality is, the more we bring in, the worse it gets. The left are starting to open their eyes now too, but are just one step away from admitting that we're taking in too many, too fast, as that would be racist. The right still wants the massive influx, because they're pro-business and simply want the consumers for growth for selling you their product, which is likely made in China, and also for the cheap disposable labour they provide also.
There's no easy answer, solution, or a fix to this problem. Housing is the only 'pension plan' many Canadians have (myself included), and to let that house of cards Ponzi scheme collapse would be detrimental also. This scenario should never have been allowed to permeate in the first place...
I vote PPC, simply because this country cannot absorb the amount of people that we're absorbing now, and they are the ONLY party that wants to reduce those levels until our infrastructure can handle them.
Every other mainstream party will now jam 1,100,000, or more, into this country every single year, because they've been told to do so by entities like the (((Century Initiative))).

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the new ruling in Haaland v. Brackeen (court file 21-376) which was consolidated with three other related cases. U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland is the petitioner.
The June 15 decision is a victory for the Biden administration, which argued in favor of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which was enacted by Congress in 1978 to prevent non-Indian families from adopting Native American children. The statute was a reaction to perceived historical injustices and concerns that Indian children were being removed from their traditional homes and Indian culture and placed in homes that had no connection to their culture. The Bureau of Indian Affairs used to pay states to carry out the adoptions.

I wholeheartedly agree with Mel and Herm about Canadian immigration annual intake. It's well beyond excessive. It's totally unsustainable.
The government is attempting to keep things from popping due to mismanagement and corrupt policies. So for instance, the house/property pictured below was my Grandparents house that I was basically raised in. Granted, it was well kept and maintained over the years then and since, but it's still nonetheless a 2,100 sq/ft home on 1/3 acre. There is nothing fancy here in my opinion, at least by Canadian standards. My Grandfather alone paid the mortgage on that house on his union blue collar job alone.
Our housing market will never be allowed to pop. It is the ultimate Ponzi scheme. People ask me, "But Steve, how can these immigrants afford them then?"
By stuffing 20 of them into a fucking two bedroom apartment on bunk beds to build equity. That's how they do it. That too will eventually fail. That's a Ponzi scheme upon itself, luring desperate immigrants into Canada with the promise of wealth and prosperity, for them only to find that they're paying $1,000+/month for a fucking spot on a bunk bed with 20 other stinky EI's, working at Horton's or Uber for minimum wage, and not even realizing that their strip-mall fake college degree they're paying for here is worthless.
The ride can't last forever... Even the browns are smart enough to start questioning Canada and its viability, so now we're amping up the importation of niggers, which I'm sure will work out real well in the long run...

"This event is another example of President Biden weaponizing federal agencies to target and harass hardworking Americans for exercising their constitutional rights," Rosendale said in a letter to leaders of the Internal Revenue Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Twenty heavily armed federal agents pulled in behind Highwood Creek Outfitters' owner Tom Van Hoose as he arrived at his shop Wednesday morning.
IRS agents confiscated background check forms from the store that contained sensitive personal information about all customers who ever purchased a gun at the shop. The forms do not include financial information, Rosendale said, calling the act an "egregious breach of privacy" that "showed no regard for federal law."

We know. Property taxes is the best way to force a home owner out. This has happened in Langley, where I was born and raised, to everyone that owned a larger parcel of land (3 to 5 acre hobby farm type shit), when the average guy could once purchase such a property.
jackass that land value up today to $10,000,000, which they do, and the average yearly wage wouldn't cover the property tax alone on that property now, even though they utilize no more public services than a dude living in a condo.
It forces the sale. My property here where I live now is ALR (basically farm status). My neighbour to the left isn't in ALR, as it was built a few years later, so they've already planned to kick him in the nuts in the near future.
I could linger here a bit longer starting a Christmas Tree Farm should I need to (easiest way to maintain working farm tax status), but then again there's nothing that stops them from rezoning my ALR status into regular land.

Oh, I know. And what a lot here fail to realise is there is no limit to how high those taxes can be set. Incremental increases ensure that it is highly unlikely there will ever be enough people to stand in opposition to them, particularly not if there is the added division of "muh climate change" or "muh refugee housing shortage" (or similar) thrown in to confuse the issue further.

"After concluding that this statute criminalizes immigration advocacy and other protected speech, the Ninth Circuit held it unconstitutionally overbroad under the First Amendment. That was error," Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, wrote for the majority.
"Properly interpreted, this provision forbids only the intentional solicitation or facilitation of certain unlawful acts," she added.
The law in question prohibits encouraging or inducing illegal immigration for "commercial advantage or private financial gain."

"We believe recent underperformance implies a permanent reduction in ABI's U.S. business," Deutsche Bank analyst Mitch Collett wrote for Barron's, referring to Anheuser-Busch InBev, the parent company of Bud Light. "Our proprietary survey data suggests these headwinds are likely to fade even if we do not expect the U.S. business ever to fully recover from its current challenges."

The dispute focused on documents related to the lease of the government property in downtown Washington that housed the hotel. Democrats claimed that Trump received a sweetheart deal and demanded documentation from the government, which refused their request.
Trump left the presidency in January 2021, and The Trump Organization sold the lease to the property in May 2022 to CGI Merchant Group for an undisclosed sum. The hotel is now known as the Waldorf Astoria Washington D.C. and is part of Hilton Worldwide.
If the case had been heard and Democrats had prevailed, the minority party in Congress would have gained a great deal more power going forward to investigate a president's administration of the opposite party, even if the minority party lacked the committee votes required to issue a subpoena.
The Supreme Court had just decided on May 15 to hear the case, but Democratic lawmakers advised the court on June 7 that they had voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit in the lower courts.
The case is Carnahan v. Maloney, court file 22-425.

Japan's plans to release radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean are consistent with international safety standards, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has concluded.
The findings, published on July 4 (pdf), followed a comprehensive assessment and safety review of the treated water stored at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), according to the U.N. watchdog.
The IAEA also stated that "controlled, gradual discharges of the treated water to the sea" as currently planned by Japan's government and the plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), would have a "negligible radiological impact on people and the environment."
The report is the result of a nearly two-year assessment conducted by an IAEA task force made up of top specialists from within the agency advised by "internationally recognized nuclear safety experts from eleven countries," according to a statement.
About 1.2 million cubic meters of water that have been used to cool the fuel rods of the Fukushima plant will be released under the plan over the next three to four decades in order to prevent accidental leaks and to allow for the plant's decommissioning.
As part of the plan, the IAEA stated that it will conduct an independent and objective safety review during the discharge phase, with a continued on-site presence and live online monitoring throughout.

Called "Threads," the Meta-backed microblogging platform is billed as "Instagram's text-based conversation app," according to a listing on Apple's App Store.
The listing indicates that Threads will released on Thursday, July 6.
"Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what'll be trending tomorrow," the app description reads.
Before it became clear that Thread would be the name of Meta's challenger to Twitter, there were reports in early June that the Zuckerberg-led company was working on a Twitter competitor code named Project 92 or P92.

Dawn Desjardins, chief economist at Deloitte Canada, says the high immigration rates in Canada so far this year are offsetting job gains, driving up the overall unemployment rate.
Canada now has the highest total annual immigration rate of any Western nation per capita. I feel this is a test to see how well, or how not well, a White Western nation can absorb high numbers of pretty much every ethnicity on Earth.
I predict this experiment won't end well.

The crisis was triggered by a push by Prime Minister Mark Rutte's conservative VVD party to limit the flow of illegal immigrants to the Netherlands, which two of his four-party government coalition refused to support.
"It's no secret that the coalition partners have differing opinions about immigration policy. Today we unfortunately have to conclude that those differences have become insurmountable. Therefore I will tender the resignation of the entire cabinet to the king," Mr. Rutte said in a televised news conference.
Tensions came to a head this week, when Mr. Rutte demanded support for a proposal to limit entrance of children of war refugees who are already in the Netherlands and to make families wait at least two years before they can be united.
This latest proposal went too far for the small Christian Union and liberal D66, causing a stalemate.
Mr. Rutte's coalition will stay on as a caretaker government until a new administration is formed after new elections, a process which in the fractured Dutch political landscape usually takes months.
News agency ANP, citing the national elections committee, said elections would not be held before mid-November.
A caretaker government cannot decide on new policies, but Mr. Rutte said it would not affect the country's support for Ukraine.
The Netherlands already has one of Europe's toughest immigration policies, but under pressure from some parties, Mr. Rutte had for months been trying to seek ways to further reduce the inflow of illegal immigrants.
Asylum applications in the Netherlands jumped by a third last year to over 46,000, and the government has projected they could increase to more than 70,000 this year—topping the previous high of 2015.
This will again put a strain on the country's asylum facilities, where for months last year, hundreds of refugees at a time were forced to sleep in the rough with little or no access to drinking water, sanitary facilities, or health care.
Mr. Rutte last year said he felt "ashamed" of the problems, after humanitarian group Medecins sans Frontieres sent in a team to the Netherlands for the first time ever, to assist with the illegal immigrants' medical needs at the centre for processing asylum requests.
He promised to improve conditions at the facilities, mainly by reducing the number of illegal immigrants that reach the Netherlands. But he failed to win the backing of coalition partners who felt his policies went too far.
Mr. Rutte, 56, is the longest-serving government leader in Dutch history and the most senior in the EU after Hungary's Viktor Orban. He is expected to lead his VVD party again at the next elections.
Mr. Rutte's current coalition, which came to power in January 2022, was his fourth consecutive administration since he became prime minister in October 2010.

PublicSq., a marketplace touted as a pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom "patriotic parallel economy," is set to go public.
This initiative is the latest effort by conservatives to divest from a liberal marketplace that appears increasingly antipathetic to their traditional values and hell-bent on their subordination.
Michael Seifert, the company's founder and CEO, announced in a webinar Monday that PublicSq. was going public through the SPAC Colombier Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: $CLBR) on July 20.
Businesswire previously reported that following the business combination, the combined company will be renamed "PSQ Holdings, Inc." and will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols "PSQH" and "PSQH WS."
According to Seifert, his marketplace will accommodate patriots "passionate about putting your values into the commerce experience, voting with your wallets, [and] supporting the small businesses that make this nations so special."

Ms. Mace said lawmakers were told during the closed-door briefing that investigators were unable to determine who brought the cocaine into the West Wing and how long it was before it was discovered on July 2. It was first identified as an "unknown item" and prompted a brief evacuation. Ya, right.

The executive, Anson Frericks, a former president of operations for Anheuser-Busch, recently spoke with Fox Business Network's "The Claman Countdown" and said that Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth should have responded differently to the ongoing controversy. Mr. Frericks said that Mr. Whitworth should have responded by saying, "'We wouldn't do this again 'cause we've lost billions of dollars of market cap. Our brands are down almost 30 percent, and all of a sudden, we're putting a lot of our suppliers at risk, and they're laying off hundreds of people from jobs at some of their suppliers.'"
"I think there's going to be some permanent damage to this brand," Mr. Frericks told Newsweek on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, I think it's going to be a long way to go to get back the market share they lost and a lot of headwind in front of them."

The executive, Anson Frericks, a former president of operations for Anheuser-Busch, recently spoke with Fox Business Network's "The Claman Countdown" and said that Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth should have responded differently to the ongoing controversy. Mr. Frericks said that Mr. Whitworth should have responded by saying, "'We wouldn't do this again 'cause we've lost billions of dollars of market cap. Our brands are down almost 30 percent, and all of a sudden, we're putting a lot of our suppliers at risk, and they're laying off hundreds of people from jobs at some of their suppliers.'"
"I think there's going to be some permanent damage to this brand," Mr. Frericks told Newsweek on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, I think it's going to be a long way to go to get back the market share they lost and a lot of headwind in front of them."

I don't give a fuck if people from AB or mob-connected beer distributors get laid off because of the Bud Light fiasco. I never drank their piss anyway and the CEO trying to make people feel guilty because he has to lay people off can go fuck himself too. He ain't losing his job, is he?

I used to work for Miller/Coors doing advertising shit. Most all of the big Brands are owned by ImBev, a global corporation. Bud Light is just a Division of AB which in turn is majority-owned by InBev. Even Modelo, which has been the big winner with Bud Light's demise (and is not bad beer IMO) is owned by InBev.
My favorite American piss beer is Heilemann's Old Style™, which is owned by Miller/Coors which in turned is owned by InBev.
Can't get away from the Big Corps, brother, and when I want a cold frosty one, I'll buy a 12 of Old Style™ for 8 or 9 bucks versus shelling out 10 bucks or so for a six pack of an independent brew. It's just pocket economics.

Reproduction or no, it's still a great buy. Reminds me of a bunch of plates and bowls my grandmother had scrimped and saved for in the years following WW2, the pattern on them was different from yours, but the china itself...
I can't explain it, you only know it when you look at it. A warmth you rarely get to see in today's stuff. I get the feeling it's something sentimental, something you cherish. So again... good luck with it.ac_smile
I love English bone china and have a collection... it was a big deal collecting it in the 19 hundreds by most women.
I posted pictures of my collection at 3rd Rail.
The base hasn't been fixed yet...looks like it is on hold for now unless I do it.
It's going to need a steady hand, patience and attention to detail. Not something I'd undertake as my first attempt at serious restoration, I'd want a bit of practice gluing together lesser value breakages myself, testing for strength and smoothness of the end result. Your piece might as well be regarded as a one of a kind for all the likelihood of you encountering it again.
I can tell you this much though, if you do end up attempting it and it all goes smoothly, the pride in a well executed end result... the sense of "I did that" is hard to beat. You would know from your years in photography that there are those perfectly captured moments. It's like that.
There's also no shame in preferring to wait for someone with more skill in such matters to undertake the repair. I haven't seen the pieces myself so I can't really judge what's involved. But I do sense that there is a love for that bowl there. As frustrating as the waiting might be, if the end result is a perfectly restored bowl you can put on your table, whether when entertaining guests or simply for yourself, that will be worth it, no matter who has fixed it.

And then there are some chips to. Of course it is now rendered valueless I guess.
For resale perhaps. But you aren't looking to sell it, are you?
There are other metrics you might value such a piece by. Personal enjoyment being one of them. If you are confident in your abilities to restore it, that would be another measure of its worth. If you do go that route, take all the time in the world you need. Look at it long and hard, plan out what order to glue the pieces in and give each piece time to set before adding the next one would be my advice. Some ceramic glue, some gloves, a wet rag to wipe away excess glue before it sets etc. Watch a ton of YouTube tutorials to get ideas from others before you start, that sort of thing.
And feel free to post photos of the end result, especially if you're pleased with it. Even if you get someone else to do the repair, you can take pride in their work, if you undertake it yourself then you've every right to be pleased as Punch in yourself.

Mega retailer Target hasn't recovered from consumer boycotts triggered after the company promoted Pride merchandise, with share prices and market cap declining significantly along with financial and popularity metrics.
American consumers started boycotting Target in May, after the retail chain rolled out its Pride collection, which included some items that targeted children, including books, home décor products, and transgender swimsuits for adults with a "tuck-friendly" feature.
In the first two weeks of May, when the company's Pride controversy began to go viral, its market capitalization declined by $1.85 billion.
In the three weeks between May 15 and June 5, the market cap fell by an additional $11.66 billion.
Though the market cap recovered somewhat to $60.34 billion as of July 10, it's still $11.7 billion less than what it was on May 1.

"Today, a former FBI supervisory special agent assigned to the FBI's Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation confirmed key portions of the IRS whistleblower's testimony," committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a July 17 statement.
Mr. Comer did not reveal the identity of the former FBI agent.
He further claimed that the night before the interview of Hunter Biden, "both Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team were tipped off about the planned interview."
"On the day of the Hunter Biden interview, federal agents were told to stand by and could not approach Hunter Biden—they had to wait for his call. As a result of the change in plans, IRS and FBI criminal investigators never got to interview Hunter Biden as part of the investigation," he continued.

NDP founder Tommy Douglas under review as national historic figure
'The Historic Sites and Monuments Board noted that Tommy Douglas wrote a master's thesis on eugenics'
Tommy Douglas, the founding father of the federal New Democratic Party and Canada's health-care system, is under review as a national historic figure, according to Blacklock's Reporter.
The Historic Sites and Monuments Board is taking a second look at his "controversial beliefs and behaviour," which included advocating for unwed mothers to be sterilized.
In 2019, a federal plaque was unveiled in Regina in Douglas' honour. The board at the time described him as a "skilled politician, witty orator and advocate for social justice."
Douglas was also crowned the "Greatest Canadian" in 2004 following a call-in and online vote held by the CBC.
While attending McMaster University in 1933, Douglas wrote a master's thesis that advocated government measures against people with "low mental rating" or "moral standards below normal who are delinquent."
Those people included unwed mothers, prostitutes and others who were a financial burden to society. His thesis was based on a dozen welfare families in Weyburn, Sask. during the Depression.
In a June 1934 article, Douglas praised the "science of eugenics," the sterilization of people regarded unfit for society.
"The rising generation will tend to build a heaven on earth rather than to live in misery in the hope of gaining some uncertain reward in the dim, distant future," he wrote.
Douglas, who became Saskatchewan premier and health minister in 1944 and founded the NDP in 1961, rejected a eugenics program.
The Historic Sites and Monuments Board also said it was checking about 2,100 historic commemorations dating from 1919 for "outdated or offensive terms or word choices" and "an absence of a significant layer of history most frequently associated with the exclusion of Indigenous peoples."

Animals hopped up on cocaine is not a new concept; the February film "Cocaine Bear" loosely chronicled the bizarre true story of when a 175-pound black bear ingested cocaine that was thrown out of a drug smuggling plane in 1985.
However, with Discovery Channel's Shark Week right around the corner, scientists have revealed the possible discovery of sharks in the Atlantic Ocean that have ingested cocaine.
Experts say that sharks may be gobbling up bales of drugs that were dumped into the water off the coast by smugglers.
Biologists studying the phenomenon reported seeing a hammerhead shark swimming into discarded packages and biting into them.
After ingesting the drugs, the sharks were observed to be behaving erratically, causing what scientists call "crazy brain."
A documentary focusing on sharks on cocaine is set to premiere during Shark Week, which begins on Sunday.

The U.S. Supreme Court on July 27 allowed Equitrans Midstream Corp. to resume the building of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, granting what some described as a win for Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) by lifting a lower-court order that blocked work on the project.
In a brief order (pdf), the high court suggested that it would possibly consider lawsuits issued by environmental groups. "Although the Court does not reach applicant's suggestion that it treat the application as a petition for a writ of mandamus at this time, that determination is without prejudice to further consideration in light of subsequent developments," it said.
"The application to vacate stays presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is granted," the Supreme Court added. It didn't provide any explanation of its decision.

Confidence in one of the most trusted institutions in the United States, the military, has fallen to its lowest point in more than 25 years, according to a new poll by Gallup.
On Monday, Gallup shared the results of a June poll, which found about 60 percent of U.S. adults who were surveyed expressed either a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the U.S. military, while the remainder expressed "very little" or only "some" confidence in the military. This figure marks the lowest level of confidence in the U.S. military since 1997.
The drop in support was most significant among respondents who identified as Republican. Since Gallup began polling trust in the military in 1975, Republicans have typically held the highest degree of confidence in the U.S. military. In the final year of President Donald Trump's presidency, 91 percent of Republican respondents had expressed moderate to high confidence in the military. Now only 68 percent of Republican respondents feel that way, a 23-point drop.
The U.S. military also lost a significant measure of trust and confidence from independent voters. In 2019, 73 percent of independents felt a moderate to high confidence in the military, but that number fell to 68 percent in 2020 and has since dropped an additional 13 points.

Global prices for food commodities like rice and vegetable oil have risen for the first time in months after Russia pulled out of a wartime agreement allowing Ukraine to ship grain to the world, and India restricted some of its rice exports, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said Friday.
The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of commonly traded food commodities, increased 1.3% in July over June, driven by higher costs for rice and vegetable oil. It was the first uptick since April, when higher sugar prices bumped up the index slightly for the first time in a year.

Hiring roughly held steady in July as employers added 187,000 jobs despite high interest rates and inflation.
The unemployment rate, which is calculated from a separate survey of households, dipped from 3.6% to 3.5%, the Labor Department said Friday.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had estimated that 200,000 jobs were added last month.
Payroll gains for May and June were revised down by a total of 49,000, portraying a somewhat softer spring labor market than believed. The June rise in employment was downgraded to 185,000 from 209,000. As a result, June and July mark the first months of sub-200,000 job gains since December 2020.
Kathy Bostjancic, Nationwide's chief economist, says the report doesn't tip the scales either way in the Fed's decision whether to hold interest rates steady the rest of the year after a historic flurry of rate increases or approve an additional hike as soon as mid-September. The central bank, she says, will want to see the August jobs report and two more monthly inflation readings before making that call next month.

Biden won't even give RFK Secret Service protection which is customary for presidential candidates. His father was assasinated while running for president.

The governor of Massachusetts on Aug. 8 declared an emergency over the influx of immigrants, a number of whom are in the country illegally.
Gov. Maura Healey said that the state's shelter system is nearing a breaking point due to "rapidly rising numbers" of immigrants, even after the creation of new emergency sites at places like Joint Base Cape Cod to try to handle the increase.
"Demand has increased to levels that our emergency shelter system cannot keep up with, especially as the number of families leaving shelter has dwindled due to a lack of affordable housing options and barriers to securing work," Ms. Healey, a Democrat, said in a statement.

The Supreme Court voted 5–4 midday on Aug. 8 to allow the Biden administration's rule regulating so-called ghost guns that can be assembled at home to remain in force while the case remains pending before a federal appeals court.
The government's "frame or receiver" rule goes back to April 2022. It requires individuals who assemble homemade firearms to add serial numbers to them. The rule also mandates background checks for consumers who buy gun-assembly kits from dealers.
Pieces of guns that are shipped are nonetheless still guns subject to existing laws, the government argued in court filings.

District Judge Tanya Chutkan opposed the request by prosecutors to bar former President Donald Trump from revealing non-sensitive evidence provided to him by the prosecutors ahead of the trial on whether he conspired to illegally obstruct the counting of the 2020 electoral votes.
During an Aug. 11 hearing in Washington, she decided to issue a gag order that only forbids the release of information prosecutors label as sensitive.
The prosecutors, with the office of special counsel jackass Smith, requested a blanket gag order, citing concerns over safety and intimidation of witnesses.
The judge questioned the defense over the potential use of non-sensitive information to intimidate witnesses.
President Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, a former federal prosecutor himself, responded that President Trump will abide by the pre-trial conditions, which already prohibit witness intimidation. He stressed that it's the prosecutors' job to prove why such a abroad restriction of the 45th president's First Amendment rights is necessary.
He noted that the burden on President Trump's rights is already significant, given that its up to the prosecutors to decide what information is and isn't sensitive.

District Judge Brantley Starr ordered on Monday that Southwest has to organize religious freedom training and send a short notice to all its flight attendants regarding the protections on religious speech, after a lawsuit filed by flight attendant Charlene Carter.
Ms. Carter was fired by Southwest after expressing her views on abortion on social media. Southwest said this violated its "civility policy."

Five congressional Democrats have asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas over gifts he reportedly received from conservative billionaires.
The letter (pdf), dated Aug. 11, was signed by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), and Ted Lieu (D-Calif.).
After left-wing media outlet ProPublica published a series of reports in recent months, the lawmakers urged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) "to launch an investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for consistently failing to report significant gifts he received from Harlan Crow and other billionaires for nearly two decades—in defiance of his duty under federal law."
The most recent ProPublica report, which was published Aug. 10, stated that Justice Thomas "has secretly reaped the benefits from a network of wealthy and well-connected patrons that is far more extensive than previously understood."
The report listed at least "38 destination vacations, including a previously unreported voyage on a yacht around the Bahamas; 26 private jet flights, plus an additional eight by helicopter; a dozen VIP passes to professional and college sporting events, typically perched in the skybox; two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica; and one standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club overlooking the Atlantic coast."

The state of Texas is suing Planned Parenthood, and the organization argued that it may go out of business if the lawsuit is successful.
"This baseless case is an active effort to shut down Planned Parenthood health centers," said Alexis McGill Johnson, the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
The lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood wrongfully accepted payment from Medicaid during a time when the state was suing to end those funds.
Texas first notified the abortion provider that it would end Medicaid payments in December 2016. The organization sued and got a federal court to agree with it, which allowed it to continue Medicaid. In 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that ruling, and it was upheld in 2021.

Residents in a tiny U.K. village are upset that their council has agreed to purchase an estate for more than $2 million (£1.8 million), where prices for each individual house are nearly double that of local homeowners.
Locals from the rural town of Langtoft, Lincolnshire, England, are reportedly crying out over plans to house Afghan and Ukrainian refugee families in the village with a population just over 2,000, as of 2011 census reports.
The Daily Mail reported that while the average property prices in the village are just over $500,000 (£400,000), the houses the local government purchased are worth more than $890,000 (£700,000).

Three large healthcare groups — the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Emergency Physicians, and the Emergency Nurses Association — issued a joint letter Wednesday warning of an ongoing and worsening crisis: children presenting in emergency rooms with mental health issues that hospitals are not equipped to handle.
According to the report, "Emergency department (ED) visits by children and youth with mental and behavioral health (MBH) emergencies in the United States have been increasing over the last decade. At the same time, there has been an increased prevalence of depression and suicide in pediatrics."
The report states that the problem is especially acute among black school-aged children, who have a suicide rate that is two times higher than white children.
Most troubling, the report notes that emergency rooms "have a wide variation in their capability to care for pediatric patients with MBH conditions," and that "There is often inconsistent screening for self-harm risks and substance use in patients presenting for both mental health concerns and other complaints."
Dr. Willough Jenkins, medical director of emergency and consultation psychitry at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, told NBC News that the number of kids seeking psychiatric emergency care in her ER has increased thirty-fold in recent years. "The volume is astronomical, and I don't know that people fully understand how many people are struggling," Jenkins said.

The Fulton County Sheriff claimed that Donald Trump will be treated like local inmates during the booking process, with no special accommodations accorded to the former U.S. president.
"If you're indicted, then we're going to treat you as though you're indicted here locally, and so we'll consider you to do fingerprints, mugshots, etc." said Sheriff Patrick Labatt to CNN.
Charles Rambo, a retired lieutenant of the sheriff's office, said to the media outlet that once inside "they would be pat down, led to the booking office in the rear. From there, they probably have to have ties and shoe strings and all those types of things taken. Then, from there the persons would be fingerprinted, given a booking photo."
President Trump along with the other defendants are expected to be photographed for mugshots. It is unclear whether Trump or any of the high-profile co-defendants would go through all steps typically taken by a prisoner at the facility.
"I don't expect Trump to spend hours in this jail because the longer he is, it's a pain. It's going to be a hassle for the entire sheriff's department or at least those who are at the jail when the president's there. It's going to be a circus," said Chris Timmons, former Georgia prosecutor to CNN. "The 'Rice Street' jail is not a pleasant place. It's dirty, it's scary."

The Associated Press reported that a court filing indicated the state plans to put Smith to death using nitrogen hypoxia. The execution has been authorized in three states, but it has never been used.

The mysterious company that has been buying up large swathes of land near Travis Air Force Base in Solano County in Northern California has unveiled a new website detailing plans to build a new metropolitan city.
The Delaware-registered firm, Flannery Associates LLC, has spent nearly $1 billion purchasing more than 50,000 acres of land surrounding Travis Air Force Base since 2018, public records show.
California Forever is the parent company of Flannery Associates, according to its new website.
It was founded in 2017 by CEO Jan Sramek, a former Goldman Sachs trader, and is backed by billionaires including Marc Andreessen and Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
"Over the last few years, Flannery has purchased over 50,000 acres in Solano County. To date, our company has been quiet about our activities. This has, understandably, created interest, concern, and speculation," the website states. "Now that we're no longer limited by confidentiality, we are eager to begin a conversation about the future of Solano County a conversation with all of you."
The website goes on to state that Solano County, like much of California, "faces many challenges, but also possesses countless opportunities."

Another bad decision by the US Supreme Court.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Sept. 14 temporarily placed on hold a lower court ruling that restricted federal agencies from contacting social media firms with requests to remove content while the justices consider how to handle the case.
His order froze a recent appeals court decision that found that federal officials likely violated First Amendment protections by coercing some platforms into deleting certain posts and content. A lawsuit was filed by Missouri and Louisiana last year against the Biden administration, accusing federal officials of trying to censor people with certain viewpoints.
A district judge in July blocked a multitude of federal agencies from communicating with social media firms, while the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Sept. 8 partially upheld the ruling. The appeals court allowed certain agencies to still contact those companies and argued that the lower court's order was too broad.
Justice Alito's order pauses the lower court's decision until Sept. 22. The justice, who was nominated by President George W. Bush, is the justice designated by the court to act on matters coming from several states, including Louisiana.
Any response to the application has to be filed with the Supreme Court by 4 p.m. on Sept. 20, Justice Alito ordered.
The court's action on Sept. 14 came just a few hours after the Biden administration had asked the court to put the lower court's order on hold while it prepares a formal appeal.

The Supreme Court's landmark decision last year on the right to carry guns outside the home for self-defense purposes didn't invalidate the longstanding gun law that bars felons from owning firearms, according to an opinion written by a circuit court judge.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit wrote that the Supreme Court decision on the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen "created a new test for determining the scope of the Second Amendment," but it didn't "appear to question the constitutionality of longstanding prohibitions on possession of firearms by convicted felons."
"If anything, Bruen contains two potential signs of support for these prohibitions," an opinion written (pdf) by 10th Circuit Judge Robert Bacharach said in a separate case.

Some high elevation areas of BC had snow yesterday. It is supposed to be an El Nino winter. I don't know if that means more or less snow. It usually means milder temperatures.

From coast to coast, multitudes of Canadian parents, students, and other critics of LGBT indoctrination took to the streets this week as part of the One Million March for Children.
Pre-emptively demonized by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; the leader of his allied socialist party, Jagmeet Singh; and other leftist politicians, the protesters emphasized Wednesday that educators have no business secretly grooming children and pushing radical gender ideology in the classroom.
The group that organized the protests noted on its website that it comprises people of diverse backgrounds and faiths who have come together to advocate for "the elimination of the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) curriculum, pronouns, gender ideology and mixed bathrooms in schools."
In Canadian cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver, thousands of protesters carried signs that read, "Leave our kids alone," "Hands off our kids," "Parental choice matters," and "You don't own our kids."
Trudeau, tweeted, "Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued."
NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh joined counter-protesters in Ottawa, carrying a rainbow banner that said, "Pride not prejudice."
Jason Schilling, president of the Alberta Teachers' Association, told the Herald, "Using 'parental consent' as camouflage, this rally was part of a coordinated strike across North America to promote misinformation, intolerance, and hate toward the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, as well as toward teachers who work to protect the safety and well-being of all students."
Rachel Notley, Alberta's former premier whom voters overwhelmingly rejected in 2019, claimed, "Those who seek to normalize trans hate will then move on to racism and misogyny. We can't let that happen."

The leader of the Alberta socialist party accuses parents who are interested in their kids' education of trans hate. Next they will be racists and misogynists according to Rachel Notley. This is a classic example of liberal bigotry. Minority parents are just as interested in what is taught in classrooms as any parents are.

A man is now facing assault and murder charges after he reportedly fired a gun into a fast food restaurant in Las Vegas at the drive-thru window on September 7. He was apparently terminated from his job there just hours before.
KLAS-TV reported that David Bravo, 25, became enraged after his shift leader at a Popeyes restaurant said that one of his shifts had been changed. When Bravo threatened to walk out, he was told that he would be fired if he did so. The restaurant's location was at Sunset Boulevard and Decatur Boulevard.

A recent poll from RealClear Opinion Research found that one-third of registered Democratic respondents feel Americans have "too much freedom to speak freely."
The poll, released in September, surveyed 1,000 individuals. Of those interviewed, 377 identified as Democrats, 369 as Republicans, and 255 as independent or "other."
The poll found that 34% of Democratic respondents believe Americans have "too much freedom to speak freely," while 14.6% of Republicans agreed. Only 22% of Democrats stated that Americans have too little freedom compared to 46% of Republicans. Independent voters were split down the middle for both questions.

Hyundai and Kia are recalling over 600,000 vehicles due to "fire risk," and are urging drivers to keep their cars parked outside and away from buildings until they can be fixed.
The Hyundai cars subject to the safety recall include certain 2010-2015 models of the Accent, Elantra, Santa Fe, Tucson, Veracruz, Genesis and Equus. Approximately 326,942 vehicles in Canada are affected, as well as 1.6 million cars in the U.S.
Transport Canada says the issue with these Hyundai models stems from the anti-lock brake system, which can leak brake fluid and cause a short circuit.
Hyundai Canada told Global News that an electrical short can increase the risk of the engine catching on fire while driving or even when its parked and turned off.

The coming startup of the Trans Mountain pipeline will help boost Canadian oil production to an all-time high within the next two years, according to a new report.
The report by Deloitte Canada said the extra capacity created by the currently ongoing pipeline expansion is expected to boost Canadian production by about 375,000 barrels a day over the next two years.
That represents an eight per cent increase from the previous production high set in November 2022, and a nearly nine per cent increase from the 4.18 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil that Canada produced in June of this year — the most recent month for which statistics are available through the Canadian Centre for Energy Information.
"The increase in volume is notable: it's greater than the total amount added to Canada's production levels over the past five years combined," the report said.
According to the Deloitte report, the vast majority of the expected increase in Canadian oil production in the coming years will come from the oilsands, where companies are working on thermal expansion projects that will link new assets with existing facilities to speed up development at a lower cost.

Social Security benefits will increase by 3.2% in 2024, the Social Security Administration announced Thursday morning.
That adds about $50 monthly to the average retirement benefit consumers will receive beginning in January. The annual increases are called cost of living adjustments, or COLA.

Two types of animal antibiotics and an animal contraceptive have been detected in food samples from America's top 10 most popular fast-food chains, according to a laboratory report.
In September, Moms Across America (MAA) submitted food samples from 10 popular American food chains to the Health Research Institute, an Iowa-based nonprofit laboratory that tests food for nutritional value, biofunctionality, and contaminants and toxins, requesting that the laboratory test the samples for over 100 common veterinary drugs and hormones. MAA is a nonprofit activism group formed by mothers intending to bring awareness to food that contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides.
Molecular and chief scientist at the Health Research Institute, John Fagan, confirmed that his lab tested the food samples.
8 in 10 Popular Fast Food Chains Tested Positive
Most of the food was sampled from America's top 10 most popular food chains. Volunteers for MAA went to their local McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway, Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Dunkin', Wendy's, or Domino's stores and ordered the same meal several times.

Look at what one of the Dems' biggest donors has been up to.
Sam Bankman-Fried's ex-girlfriend and business colleague, Caroline Ellison, stated in court that the former FTX boss had directed her to commit fraud-related crimes, as well as used loans to make political donations. She also alleged customer deposits were used to bribe Chinese officials.
Political donations predominantly included $5.2 million to President Biden's campaign in 2020, which immediately shot Bankman-Fried to near the top of the donor list. According to Time, more than $70 million was donated to Democratic election campaigns, along with another $40 million to politicians and committees ahead of the 2022 midterms.

An Internal Revenue Service contractor accused of stealing and leaking tax return information belonging to former President Donald Trump and "thousands" of the wealthiest Americans pleaded guilty on Thursday, according to a Department of Justice press release.
Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., was working at the IRS when he stole tax information associated with "a high-ranking government official," the DOJ stated. While the department's news release did not name the government official, several media outlets have reported that Littlejohn was responsible for leaking Trump's tax records.

In 2023, almost 67 million Americans will receive a monthly Social Security benefit, totaling about $1.4 trillion in benefits paid during the year, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Nearly 90% of Americans aged 65 or older were receiving a Social Security benefit as of June 30, according to SSA data, with the federal payments representing about 30% of their income.
The number of Americans in that age bracket is projected to grow from about 58 million in 2022 to about 75 million by 2035.

Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer slashed its profit and revenue estimates for a full year as it said that demand for COVID-19 vaccines and other products has dropped.
The firm now expects 2023 sales of $58 billion to $61 billion, down from previous forecasts of $67 billion to $70 billion, according to its guidance report that was released on Friday, Oct. 13. The revenue outlook was slashed, it said, "solely due to its COVID products" such as its vaccine and antiviral drug.
It anticipates that sales of its COVID-19 vaccine will be about $2 billion lower than its previously expected forecast due to lower-than-expected rates of people taking the mRNA shot. The firm's latest COVID-19 booster was made available by U.S. federal regulators last month, but the rollout has been relatively slow—with only about 2 percent of Americans taking any of the vaccines, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) data.

Steven Davidoff Solomon is a corporate law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. While he has no doubt seen his school enroll and anoint generations of radical leftists over the past decade, he's now ready to warn law firms about at least one variety of extremism they can expect from Berkeley graduates.
In a Sunday opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, Solomon pleaded with prospective employers: "Don't hire some of my students."
Solomon, co-founder of the Antisemitism Education Initiative and an adviser to the Jewish law students' association, noted that anti-Semitism is "nothing new on university campuses, including here on Berkeley."
He cited as one recent example a bylaw adopted last year by several student groups and several more since — including the Queer Caucus, the Berkeley Law Muslim Student Association, the Womxn of Color Collective, and the Women of Berkeley Law — that bars supporters of Israel from speaking, effectively creating "'Jew-free' zones."

There have been thousands of information technology employees working as contractors in the U.S. who have reportedly been sending millions of dollars from their earnings to North Korea for the country's ballistic missile program, according to the FBI and Department of Justice.
The Justice Department stated on Wednesday that there have been a number of IT workers secretly working for North Korea who work remotely with U.S. companies in St. Louis and elsewhere. These employees have apparently been using fake identifications in order to get the jobs in question.
Business Insider reported that the authorities have seized more than $1.5 million and 17 domain names as part of the ongoing investigation. Jay Greenberg, a special agent who is the head of the St. Louis FBI office, said that one company hired freelance IT employees who were likely involved in the scheme.
Rebecca Wu, spokesperson for the FBI, said that "[w]e can tell you that there are thousands of North Korean IT workers that are part of this." FBI officials say that the scheme is widespread, suggesting that companies need to be vigilant about who they hire.

A prominent Detroit synagogue president was found stabbed to death outside of her home on Saturday morning. Michigan authorities are urgently attempting to piece together the facts of the apparent murder, and determine the motive for the tragic killing.
Police found multiple stab wounds on a lifeless body that led to a trail of blood leading to the victim's home – where police believe the crime was committed, Detroit deputies said in an email.
Michigan authorities identified the victim as 40-year-old Samantha Woll. Authorities pronounced Woll dead at the scene at around 6.30 a.m. on Saturday.
Was this murder related to events in Israel and Gaza? I don't know.

A new travel requirement for Americans visiting most European countries was delayed again to sometime in 2025, officials said.
The requirement involves an online travel authorization through the European Travel Information and Authorization System, or ETIAS, and it applies to the visitors of 30 European countries. That includes popular destinations such as France, Spain, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Portugal.
Now, the system "will be ready to enter into operation in Spring 2025," said a brief announcement after a meeting of the Council of the European Union earlier this month. "The new roadmap for the delivery of the new IT architecture foresees that the Entry/Exit system will be ready to enter into operation in Autumn 2024," it also said.
The system, meanwhile, will register the information and biometric data of travelers. That includes face scans and fingerprints, while stamp passports will be phased out.
This system, elaborated the European Union's site, "will replace the current system of manual stamping of passports, which is time-consuming, does not provide reliable data on border crossings, and does not allow a systematic detection of over-stayers."
Travelers will have to fill out an ETIAS application form before traveling and pay a $7 fee. However, some applications may take several weeks if additional information is needed from the traveler, while some may have to obtain an interview, according to the EU website.

The courts are now dealing with a torrent of litigation spurred by the Supreme Court's 5–4 decision in June in Allen v. Milligan. In that case, the conservative-dominated court unexpectedly stood behind its interpretation of the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA), rejecting Alabama's request to leave its legislature-approved electoral map in place.

The CDC indicated that the infant mortality rate was 5.44 in 2021. Last year, the rate was 5.6. The total number of reported infant deaths in 2022 was 20,538, up 610 from the previous year.

A second woman has accused rock star Steven Tyler of sexual assault from decades ago. This is the second alleged victim that has accused Tyler of sexual assault in the 1970s.
Jeanne Bellino – who was previously a child and teen model – alleges that Tyler sexually assaulted her "in approximately 1975 when she was approximately 17 years old." At the time of the accusations, Tyler was 27.
Bellino, now 66, claimed that she was invited to party with Aerosmith at the Warwick Hotel in New York City around 1975. Bellino's lawsuit claims that Tyler "forced" the teen into a phone booth where he kissed and groped the then-teenage model.
"Tyler stuck his tongue down her throat, and put his hands upon her body, her breasts, her buttocks, and her genitals, moving and removing clothing and pinning her against the wall of the phone booth," the lawsuit alleges.
Another woman accused Tyler of sexual assault from decades ago.
In December, Julia Misley accused Tyler of engaging in a sexual relationship with her shortly after her 16th birthday in 1973. At the time, Tyler was 25 years old.
Tyler previously claimed that the underage girl consented to the sexual relationship.

The Justice Department announced Wednesday that federal investigators busted a "high-end brothel" network the clientele of which included politicians, military officers, and other influential figures.
At a press conference, federal prosecutors said they have arrested three people for allegedly running the sophisticated network: Han Lee, Junmyung Lee, and James Lee.
Each man is charged with conspiracy to coerce and entice to travel to engage in illegal sexual activity. They allegedly operated the network since July 2020.
Prosecutors allege the men operated four brothel locations — two in Boston suburbs and two in Washington, D.C., suburbs — by renting out "high-end apartment complexes." The men allegedly advertised their prostitution ring using websites in which they included pictures of the women and information about them, including their height, weight, and bust size.
"They are doctors, they are lawyers, they are accountants, they are elected officials, they are executives of high tech companies and pharmaceutical companies, they are military officers, government contractors [with security clearances], professors, scientists," he said.
Prosecutors did not identity any of the brothel clientele because investigation is "active and ongoing."
It is not clear whether the clientele will face criminal charges, but the Homeland Security agent who wrote the affidavit believes there are "potentially hundreds of yet to be identified customers."

An industrial robot brutally slaughtered a South Korean robotics technician Tuesday, allegedly mistaking him for just another container of organic material in need of stacking.
The victim, a man in his 40s, was attempting to diagnose an issue with a pick-and-place robot's sensor at the Donggoseong Export Agricultural Complex in the southern county of Goseong, as there was an equipment test planned for later in the week, reported the Register.
The paprika-sorting robot, reportedly created and installed by the victim's employer, spotted the man with its sensor, figured him for a box of vegetables, then seized him using its arms and tongs. After grabbing the technician, the robot apparently smashed him against a conveyor belt.
According to the Korean-language Yonhap News Agency, the victim's face and chest were crushed. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

In a video posted on social media, McSally recounted that a man approached her from behind, engulfing her "in a bear hug, and he molested and fondled me until I fought him off."
"I ran after him, I threw my water bottle at him, and I chased him into the brush, where he was then hiding as I called 911 and waited for the police to come. I don't think they found him," she said.
A Council Bluffs Police Department press release notes that "McSally lost sight of the suspect prior to officers arriving. After a check of the area the suspect was not located."

ormer porn star Ron Jeremy – who was accused of rape by more than 20 women – will be released to a "private residence" due to his deteriorating health.
Jeremy – whose full name is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt — was first charged with 34 counts of sexual assault in 2020, including 12 counts of rape. The allegations stemmed as far back as 1996, and the alleged victims ranged in age from 15 to 51.
In 2021, Jeremy was indicted on 34 criminal counts based on allegations brought by 21 women. Hyatt pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
The defense and prosecution agreed that Hyatt was not competent to stand trial because of cognitive impairments caused by severe dementia.
Jeremy, 70, was placed under a conservator earlier this year and had been housed at the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles.
On Friday, a judge granted a request for Hyatt to be released to a private residence where he will receive "round-the-clock medical care."

Truth Social, the social media platform connected to former President Donald Trump, announced a massive, billion-dollar lawsuit against 20 news media companies.
The company posted a statement about its lawsuit Monday evening.
"Today Truth Social filed a defamation lawsuit that is likely unprecedented in history, incorporating twenty publications - and even more may be added. All of them published the same false information about Truth Social and refused to fully retract their stories," the statement read.
"To the Fake News outlets that think themselves about accountability: we'll see you in court," it added.

Canadians are deeply in debt. The country has the highest household debt as a share of GDP in the G7 — and 75% of it is from mortgages.
We have an imbalance — we have household debt-to-income ratios that are above what the US was before the global financial crisis.
As affordability crisis continues and immigration rates remain high, Canadians will blame high prices on immigration and seek to limit migration. Recent polling has found that a growing share of Canadians feel this way, threatening the government's liberal stance on immigration policy.

A military whistleblower says the US government has retrieved at least ten alien bodies from UFO crashes. David Charles Grusch said the number of crashes recorded was in 'double digits', and that the number of extraterrestrial bodies recovered was 'up there as well, just like with the retrievals'.
Former US intelligence officer Mr Grusch stunned the world earlier this year when alleging the government had evidence of 'intact and partially intact' alien vehicles.
The revelations led, in part, to a special congressional hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP, formerly UFOs), at which Mr Grusch and two other witnesses testified. Under oath he repeated his claims, adding that people had been 'harmed' in an attempt to cover up the information.

A new court filing shows that the office of the judge presiding over the civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump in New York has received "hundreds of threatening, harassing, disparaging and antisemitic" threats.
The threats were made to the office of Judge Arthur Engoron, according to an affidavit that was attached to a Nov. 22 court filing, which states that there's been a "deluge" of threatening messages to the court's chambers phone and the personal cell phone as well as email and social media accounts of Judge Engoron's chief law clerk, Allison Greenfield.

On Monday, after Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was newly sworn into office, the conservative leader confirmed his government would repeal the strict tobacco restrictions before they came into effect.
The legislation would have banned the sale of cigarettes to anyone born after 2008.

Canada's economy shrank in the three months up to September. Statistics Canada reported Thursday that the country's gross domestic product shrank by 0.3 per cent.
They also reported that the three month period up to June also saw a slight decline, so Thursday's numbers would have been the second consecutive quarterly contraction in a row which means we are officially in a recession.

What this means is a broad range of drinks, from lemonades and coffees to energy-boosting beverages like Sour Cherry Energy Slush, Tropical Spiceade and S'mores Cold Brew. Patrons can customize their drinks by adding fruity boba, flavor syrups, energy shots and more.
As far as food goes, CosMc's Spicy Queso Sandwich and Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich are its sandwich options, but there are many more sweet and savory snacks to pick and choose from.
On the savory side, CosMc's offers Savory Hash Brown Bites and Pretzel Bites, and on the sweet side, it's got a Blueberry Lemon Cookie Sundae, Caramel Fudge Brownie and more.
And yes, you can expect to find a few McDonald's classics on the menu — but no combo meals.

"There have been reports of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) in people traveling to the United States from Tecate, in the state of Baja California, Mexico," the CDC said in the advisory, which was issued on Dec. 8.
The CDC said there are reports of the disease being found in urban areas in some states in northern Mexico (including Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Nuevo León). However, the illness isn't exclusive to those regions, the CDC noted in its warning.

The United Methodist Church is currently in the process of splintering, as 7,000 congregations across the country have decided whether or not to stay or depart from the denomination.
The intra-church dispute comes as many congregations have decided to back out of the denomination after years of theological debate about the role of LGBTQ people within the church, according to the Associated Press.
While the United Methodist Church has banned same-sex marriage and outlawed openly LGBTQ clergy, many congregations within the denomination have theologically taken issue with this position. Amid the battle within the denomination, a number of conservatives have decided to create the Global Methodist Church.
Theologically progressive Christians who decided to stay with the United Methodist Church are expected to try and remove the ban at the next General Conference, which is scheduled for the spring of 2024.

The former mayor of Harvey, Illinois, Eric Kellogg, was not named in federal documents, and he has apparently not been charged, according to NBC News.
However, his brother Rommell, 71, was found guilty on five counts on Monday, including "conspiracy to commit theft and intimidation and causing the use of facilities in interstate commerce to promote theft and intimidation," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"Each count of conviction is punishable by up to five years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman did not immediately set a sentencing date," the release continued.

This is probably misleading and a one off thing as Biden's handlers are anti domestic fossils production.
The United States is set to produce a global record of 13.3 million barrels per day of crude and condensate during the fourth quarter of this year, according to a report published Tuesday by S&P Global Commodity Insights.
Last month, weekly US oil production hit 13.2 million barrels per day, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That's just above the Donald Trump-era record of 13.1 million set in early 2020 just before the Covid-19 crisis sent output and prices crashing.

Kevin O'Leary told CNN host Laura Coates on Thursday that "every" real estate developer is guilty of the alleged real-estate fraud that Donald Trump is found to have committed.
O'Leary explained:
So, if you're a developer and you've got a building on a block anywhere in America and it's worth, let's say, $500 million and you want to build a building right beside it, you go to the bank and say, "This building is worth $500 million. I'd like to borrow a construction finance loan against this asset, and I want you to tell me it's worth 500 million, too." The bank negotiates with you and says, "Well, no, we think it's worth $400 million," and you fight it out.
You're always trying to show your assets in the brightest light with the sunshine you can possibly determine for them. You want them to be worth the very most because you're only going to get a 40% or 50% loan-to-value, as it's called. Then you borrow that money. In the case of a $500 million asset, maybe you get $250 million, and you build a new building with a construction finance loan.
"Forget about Trump: Every single real estate developer everywhere on Earth does this," O'Leary said.
The concern, then, should be who lost money? "Nobody," according to O'Leary, because the Trump Organization paid its bank loans. Thus, if James were to be consistent, she would sue "every real estate developer" in her jurisdiction, he said.
O'Leary said he believes the case will not survive an appeal.

Cement production accounts for more than 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions—more than sectors like aviation, shipping, or landfills. Cement is one of the most-used materials on the planet, with about 4 billion metric tons produced annually.
Industrial-scale cement is a multifaceted climate conundrum. Making it is energy intensive: the inside of a traditional cement kiln is hotter than lava in an erupting volcano. Reaching those temperatures typically requires burning fossil fuels like coal. There's also a specific set of chemical reactions needed to turn crushed-up minerals into cement—and those reactions release carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

A man who worked as a teacher in Hawaii was sentenced to 17 years in prison for producing child pornography after he mocked and railed against conservatives online.
35-year-old Alden Bunag was convicted of distributing videos of himself having sex with a former student who was 13 years old at the time. In addition to the prison time, Bunag must pay $30,000 in restitution and serve 15 years of supervised release.

On the heels of accusations of plagiarism against former Harvard President Claudine Gay, four senior research scientists with faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School have been accused of manipulating data in some of their published research, prompting retractions of several articles and corrections in dozens more.
On January 2, the same day that Gay resigned as president of Harvard amid accusations that she had committed 50 separate instances of plagiarism, Sholto David, a British scientist with a doctorate in cellular and molecular biology from Newcastle University, published a detailed blog post accusing the Harvard-affiliated researchers of "data forgery."

A new poll has revealed that over half of Democrats support lethal discrimination against babies diagnosed with Down syndrome.
56% of Democrats said they supported or strongly supported abortion in cases where the baby has Down syndrome. By way of comparison, only 24% of Republicans signaled support and 39% of self-identified independents expressed support.

The best things in life are free – but not anymore.
Mount Fuji in Japan has become the latest major attraction to charge tourists to visit.
The impressive mountain – which is an active volcano and the highest peak in Japan – attracts thousands of climbers every year. In 2023, 221,322 people made the ascent.
But concerns over rubbish at the UNESCO heritage site and hiker safety has seen Japanese authorities impose the new tax – the price of which is yet to be announced.

Radical climate change activists hurled soup at the Mona Lisa painting inside the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday.
Video shows the moment that two women approach the Mona Lisa painting and then douse Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece with soup.
The women reportedly shouted, "What's the most important thing? Art, or right to a healthy and sustainable food?"
What these petulant fools don't know is that climate change hysteria is making the production of food less sustainable. If we are going to feed eight billion people we need fertilizers. Climate extremists are blocking the sustainable development of food.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that 135 people were sickened with an "unknown" illness while on board a cruise ship operated by Cunard Line.
In an update issued on Jan. 31, the agency said that the predominant symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, but it said the "causative agents" are "unknown."
Out of about 2,700 passengers and crew, 135 were sickened on Cunard Line's Queen Victoria between Jan. 22 and Feb. 12. However, the cases that have been currently reported "do not represent the number of active (symptomatic) gastrointestinal cases at any given port of call or at disembarkation," the agency said.

President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador has transformed his country from a blood-soaked gangland into a nation with the second-lowest homicide rate in the Americas — all inside a five-year window.
There were 51 homicides per 100,000 in 2018, the year prior to Bukele's initial election. The homicide rate fell to 7.8 in 2022 under his leadership, such that El Salvador saw fewer homicides that year (495) than were reported in Chicago during the same period (695). The homicide rate in El Salvador last year was reportedly 2.4 per 100,000.
To achieve this end, Bukele's administration has taken extreme measures, admittedly overstepping and cracking down on some civil rights. His administration has also allegedly thrown over 2% of the adult population behind bars, most of whom are supposedly suspected or known gang members.

Co-defendant David Schafer, who in 2020 served as the Georgia GOP Chairman and a GOP presidential elector for Georgia during the 2020 election, filed a motion in court Monday saying Willis has engaged in a "pattern of prosecutorial, forensic misconduct" which he says should disqualify not only her, but her entire office and prosecution staff.

Canadian couples are more open to seeking divorce in later life, and research suggests this can impact women more than men.
In Canada, the average age for divorce has been steadily rising over the years, partly because people are increasingly getting married at a later age. In 2020, the average age of divorce was 48 years, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada.
Over the last three decades, the country has seen a rise in "grey divorce" when couples aged 50 years and older split up, according to StatCan.

Former NFL star, actor, and accused murderer O.J. Simpson is reportedly battling prostate cancer.
Simpson, 76, is now undergoing chemotherapy treatment in Las Vegas, according to WPLG-TV in Miami.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer has been seen in Vegas in recent weeks looking frail and limping, the New York Post reported.
He also posted a video to social media last week knocking rumors that he was being placed in hospice and is on the verge of death.
"No, I'm not in any hospice; I don't know who put that out there. Whoever put that out there, it's like Donald [Trump] says: can't trust the media. In any event, I'm hosting a ton of friends for the Super Bowl here in Las Vegas. All is well. Take care, have a good Super Bowl Weekend," Simpson said.

The resulting power vacuum and subsequent investigation of the killing would drive Venezuela even deeper into political instability.
The CIA being involved would make OPEC very, very mad.

The fact of the matter is though, the US is in a bad relationship where the world hates us for sticking our nose in their shit while the world is asking us to stick our nose in their shit. At the same time, we're sure as fuck addicted to sticking our nose in the shit.It's time the US told the world our own affairs takes priority. We can no longer let companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin bribe us into being the world's cop.
Its fucked up with no clear off ramp for the assholes in power.

George Soros is set to seize control of Audacy's 220 United States radio stations ahead of the 2024 presidential election, the New York Post reported.
Soros Fund Management, the hedge fund manager's investment management company, has purchased $400 million of the radio platform's debt.
Audacy, formerly Radio.com, is the second-largest radio broadcaster behind iHeartMedia. Last month, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced that it had reached a prepackaged restructuring support agreement with a supermajority of its debtholders. According to an Audacy news release, the plan will allow it to reduce its total debt from $1.9 billion to $350 million.

The civil lawsuit was filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James and claimed that Trump defrauded banks and other organizations by over-estimating the value of his properties in order to secure favorable bank loans and other benefits.

A policy group predicted that the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for next year's Social Security payments may be far lower than the past several years—due to inflation.
When inflation goes up, the Social Security Administration uses it to determine the COLA for the forthcoming year. Some economists have predicted the main inflation metric, the consumer price index for urban wage earners, may go down this year due to the recent interest rate hikes issued by the Federal Reserve.
According to the policy group, the Senior Citizens League, based on the 2.9 percent January consumer price index for urban wage earners, the group is "adjusting the long-term forecast COLA to 1.75 percent in 2025." The overall consumer price index rose 3.1 percent last month, according to federal data.

The case could lead to the dropping of charges against many defendants charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, protest of the impending congressional certification of the 2020 presidential election results at the U.S. Capitol complex in Washington.
Former police officer Joseph W. Fischer of Jonestown, Pennsylvania, is the main defendant in the case known as Fischer v. United States. The oral argument was scheduled in a notice posted by the court on its website.

BlackRock has unveiled what it calls "a new proxy voting opportunity in iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)." The multinational investment giant notes that this particular product is its largest and among the most widely held exchange-traded fund.
While giving individual investors a say in the votes related to their holdings is a good thing, this new scheme on closer inspection appears to be a way for BlackRock to push climate and social-related policies while making it seem like clients voted for them. Very sneaky.

The Associated Press exposed the unprecedented nature of the case and how New York's treatment of Trump is incongruent with past cases.
QuoteThey went back over 70 years and looked at all the cases that have been tried under this rule — [New York Civil Practice Law] 6312, which is used here — which doesn't have to show harm done. That's not the burden. You don't have to show that anybody was hurt by your practices. There's nobody you defrauded specifically.
They went back and they looked at cases over 70 years — I believe it's about 150 cases — and found there was no case where there was a ban on doing business where there wasn't harm shown. So even though the threshold is "harm shown," in the past, it has only been used to ban someone doing business when it's been shown that somebody was hurt — say you're selling cosmetics that are poisoning you. There's somebody that was hurt there; the cosmetics company gets banned.

Tucker Carlson said that an advisor to former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson told him he would need to pay $1 million when the host asked for an interview.
"This is, by the way, the guy who single-handedly, at the request of the U.S. government, stopped the peace deal in Ukraine a year and a half ago, and is, I think, for that reason, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands people. He won't explain any of that to me in an interview until I pay him a million dollars," Carlson said.
Boris Johnson is a slime bucket.

Dr. Phil McGraw, host of the long-running daytime talk show "Dr. Phil," criticized medical associations that promote the use of surgical and non-surgical procedures, such as cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, mastectomies, and genital surgeries, on minors who are questioning the biological reality of their gender.
Mr. McGraw made the comments during a recent appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience," aired Feb. 20. The television personality—who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of North Texas—specifically questioned the use of umbrella terms like "gender-affirming care."
"You know, that's interesting that they call it that, but really what they're talking about is hormonal therapy or sex reassignment surgery on children," he told host Joe Rogan. "And, in fairness, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Endocrine Society—or whatever the exact name of that is—all of the major medical associations have signed off on this."
According to the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBT advocacy organization, "every single major medical organization, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association, supports the provision of age-appropriate, gender-affirming care for transgender and non-binary people."
Mr. McGraw continued: "I have never seen those organizations sign off on anything with less information as to whether or not it does long-term harm," noting that "it does harm" children. The talk show veteran referenced European countries that have begun restricting some of these procedures.
In particular, Mr. McGraw highlighted Sweden, which was the first country to introduce legal gender reassignment surgeries. However, the country has since backtracked on its stance by restricting hormone therapy and mastectomies for minors.

Getting the recombinant zoster (shingles) vaccine (RZV), or Shingrix, if you have had an ocular shingles event, may increase your risk of experiencing a second event, a recent study shows.
Ocular shingles refers to all shingles that manifest in the eye area. Milder cases of ocular shingles typically occur near the eyelids, while more severe cases may cause inflammation inside the eyes and potentially lead to blindness.
Researchers at the University of California (UC)–San Francisco found that, compared to unvaccinated people with a history of ocular shingles, those who receive the RZV have a 93 percent higher rate of developing ocular shingles again.

Mexico City is one of the biggest cities in the world. It is also facing a critical water shortage.
Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis of nearly 22 million people and one of the world's biggest cities, is facing a severe water crisis as a tangle of problems — including geography, chaotic urban development and leaky infrastructure — are compounded by the impacts of climate change.
Years of abnormally low rainfall, longer dry periods and high temperatures have added stress to a water system already straining to cope with increased demand. Authorities have been forced to introduce significant restrictions on the water pumped from reservoirs.
"Several neighborhoods have suffered from a lack of water for weeks, and there are still four months left for the rains to start," said Christian Domínguez Sarmiento, an atmospheric scientist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Politicians are downplaying any sense of crisis, but some experts say the situation has now reached such critical levels that Mexico City could be barreling towards "day zero" in a matter of months — where the taps run dry for huge swaths of the city.

Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker said the FBI wants him to self-surrender to the agency Friday morning in Dallas over his January 6 reporting.
https://twitter.com/TPC4USA/status/1762652438727627133?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1762652438727627133%7Ctwgr%5Eb013399c3bf53069fac4cf84d3683167b1e9352d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theblaze.com%2Fnews%2Fblaze-news-investigative-writer-steve-baker-says-fbi-wants-him-to-self-surrender-friday-in-dallas-over-his-jan-6-reporting
What are the details?
Baker told Blaze News he's been instructed to turn himself in at the agency's field office at 7 a.m. wearing "shorts and sandals" — which he said signals that the plan likely is to go for "humiliation" and place him in an orange jumpsuit, handcuff him, and do the "prisoner transport routine."
He added that after he's taken to the Dallas courthouse, he'll appear at a 10 a.m. hearing before a federal magistrate.
"They didn't have to go this route," Baker told Blaze News on Tuesday evening. "We have been told that my charges are only misdemeanors. And my attorneys have been assured that this will be an 'in and out' affair with 'no intention' to detain me. But rather than issuing a simple order to appear, they went the 'arrest warrant' route."
What's more, Baker said he still does not know what the charges against him are, noting to Blaze News that the powers that be won't tell his attorney about the charges because they believe Baker will post them on social media.
Baker's Dallas attorney, James Lee Bright, added to Blaze News that withholding the nature of the charges against his client is a "really unusual" move. Bright also said he's hoping to get a copy of the complaint against Baker as early as possible Friday morning.
Baker also said his legal team was told there was no request to the court for detention, no need for bail, and the expectation is that he'll be released after the proceedings. Bright told Blaze News that he anticipates Friday's hearing to be simple.
"We do not know if there will be pretrial travel restrictions, although that has been the norm for J6 defendants — even for misdemeanor defendants," Baker also said. "It has also been universal that no J6ers are allowed to travel to Washington, D.C., which for obvious reasons will have a deleterious impact on my work. We also do not know if there will be any other accompanying restrictions or orders: gag order from talking about my case, no social media, limited social media, order to surrender devices and/or firearms. All unknowns."

An illegal alien from El Salvador has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to the Feb. 8 slaying of a 2-year-old Maryland boy, Jeremy Poou-Caceres, and the grievous wounding of the boy's mother.
Prior to allegedly killing the child, Salvadoran national Nilson Granados-Trejo was twice arrested and twice freed in a nearby sanctuary county despite an outstanding removal order and detainer requests from immigration officials.
Jeremy Poou-Caceres was taken to a hospital, where he died shortly thereafter. His 17-year-old mother, apparently struck in the leg, survived the attack and was released from the hospital days later.
Police indicated that the mother and child were not the intended targets. A witness reportedly saw two of the suspected shooters take shots at another group of thugs during a dispute over drug territory, striking Jeremy and his mother.
The boy's mother, whose identity has been concealed in some reports because she is a teen victim and a witness, claimed she was pushing her son in a stroller down Kanawha street when two groups of thugs began shooting.
"I grabbed my son and tried to save my son. That was all I could think about," said the bereaved mother.

TMercedes-Benz is backing off its plan to only sell electric vehicles after 2030, the company said Thursday. It was the latest evidence that the global auto industry is feeling more dour about the all-electric future after a slowdown in sales growth.
It was only three years ago that Mercedes was feeling quite bullish about plug-in powertrains, saying that by 2030 it would only sell EVs. At the time, the company said it would completely phase out gas-powered vehicles, while including the caveat "where markets allowed."
Now it seems that the market is not allowing Mercedes to follow through on its plans. Today, the company said in its fourth quarter earnings statement that it only expects 50 percent of its sales to be all-electric — a significant drop from the once rosier outlook. Gas and hybrid vehicles will remain a part of the company's future for years to come.

A deadly outbreak of psittacosis, also known as parrot fever, is spreading across Europe, prompting a warning from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The WHO announced on Tuesday that parrot fever cases have been on the rise in several European countries since November 2023, resulting in five reported deaths to date.
Parrot fever is a respiratory infection caused by the bacteria Chlamydia psittaci, commonly found in birds, according to Health Canada.
"It's a distant relative to the chlamydia, the sexually-transmitted infection, but this is not a sexually-transmitted infection," Bogoch said. "But from a genetic relative standpoint, it's a cousin."

Pornhub blocks access in Texas over age-restriction law
(https://i.imgur.com/9aL2YjX.png)
Fighting back against an age-verification requirement in Texas, Pornhub on Thursday blocked access to its content in the state.
Anyone with an IP address in Texas now is blocked from the site, which is one of the most popular porn websites viewed in the United States.
"Unfortunately, the Texas law for age verification is ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous," the statement read, Pornhub told NBC News. "Not only will it not actually protect children, but it will also inevitably reduce content creators' ability to post and distribute legal adult content and directly impact their ability to share the artistic messages they want to convey with it."
The company encouraged users to contact their representatives about the state's law.

The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for monthly payments could be 2.4 percent starting next year, an increase from a previous forecast, said the Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan group representing retired people, according to several reports this week.

Stockton is joined in the lawsuit by doctors who faced sanctions from the state and names Washington Medical Commission Executive Director Kyle S. Karinen and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson as defendants. Stockton's lawyers include Rick Jaffe, Todd S. Richardson, and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kyle Rittenhouse has survived yet another mobbing by rabid progtards, this time in America's most dangerous city: Democrat-run Memphis.
The 21-year-old Second Amendment advocate spoke Wednesday at an event hosted by the University of Memphis student chapter of Turning Point USA. An event listing indicated that Rittenhouse was planing to "share his side of the story that caught the media's eye in 2020."
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside, screaming at guests and hindering the flow of traffic in and out of the UC Theatre.

Shareholders voted Friday to take former president Donald Trump's media company public, a long-delayed move that will open the owner of Truth Social to stock-market investors and grant Trump a stake worth billions of dollars.
Trump will own about 60 percent of the company, which at Digital World's current share price would be worth about $3.3 billion. He and other investors could earn tens of millions more shares through an "earnout" provision tied to the stock's performance, Digital World said in an SEC filing.
But a lockup provision in the merger agreement will prevent Trump and other major shareholders from selling their shares for six months unless he is granted a waiver by the post-merger company's board.
Any lockup change or waiver will be decided by the post-merger company's board, which will be stocked with Trump allies, an SEC filing shows. The board's nominees include Trump's oldest son Donald Trump Jr.; Trump's former trade representative Robert E. Lighthizer; Linda McMahon, who headed the Small Business Administration under Trump; and Kash Patel, who served on Trump's National Security Council.
The post-merger company, which will be called Trump Media, could begin trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange as soon as Monday under the ticker symbol of Trump's initials, DJT. That symbol was also used for Trump's only other public company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, which collapsed into a penny stock in less than a decade and filed for bankruptcy in 2004.
The merger will net Trump Media $300 million that Digital World initially raised from investors. Trump's allies and company executives will also be granted bundles of shares in the new company that could be worth millions of dollars.

The Supreme Court's refusal this week to take up McDonald's appeal of a lower court ruling means the fast food giant will have to face a class action that alleges the company violated antitrust laws.
The burger chain was sued in 2017 over no-poaching agreements between franchise owners that allegedly violated workers' rights by limiting their job mobility. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit resurrected the proposed class action lawsuit after a lower court dismissed it.

brutal mountain lion attack took the life of a 21-year-old California man, and left his younger with "traumatic injuries," according to authorities.
Two brothers – ages 18 and 21 – were reportedly antler shed hunting in Georgetown, California. A mountain lion attacked the pair in the wilderness of the remote area of Northern California on Saturday afternoon.
During the vicious mountain lion attack, the brothers were separated in the area about 40 miles northeast of Sacramento.
The younger brother called 911 at 1:13 p.m. to report the animal attack, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
Around 1:46 p.m., deputies began searching the area for the brothers.
Deputies and paramedics located the older brother and encountered the mountain lion that was crouched next to the 21-year-old California man on the ground, according to authorities. Law enforcement officers reportedly fired shots "scaring the mountain lion off so they could render aid" to the man on the ground.
Sadly, the older brother had succumbed to his injuries from the mountain lion attack and was already dead by the time emergency crews were able to get to the man.
The 18-year-old brother suffered "traumatic injuries" to his face and was transported to a local hospital for treatment, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office stated.

Early Tuesday morning, a Singapore-flagged container ship called the Dali rammed into one of the piers holding up Francis Scott Key Bridge, a steel arch-shaped truss bridge extending Interstate 695 some 1,200 feet over the Baltimore Harbor. Upon impact, the bridge came toppling down — along with those vehicles on the compromised segments.
Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman indicated the bridge has "totally collapsed" and that rescue teams are on site.
So far, there have been no reports of casualties.

Georgia man has been desperately fighting for years to remove dozens of squatters off his property in Atlanta. The property owner has faced major hurdles in trying to reclaim his land from the squatters, including spending thousands to clean up the estate and being sued for $190,000.
David Morris owns a nine-acre property in southeast Atlanta. He said that about 10 years ago, he started allowing four individuals to live on the property rent-free.
However, uninvited trespassers began living on his land at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Morris looked to the city of Atlanta for assistance in removing the squatters from his property. Unfortunately for the property owner, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention imposed a halt to residential evictions starting in September 2020. The pandemic-mandated eviction moratorium in Georgia didn't end until October 2021.
At one point, as many as 30 trespassers were living on his property. He noted that there are now eight squatters on his land.
One of the squatters filed a $190,000 counter-claim against him. However, the case was dismissed because they did not show up in court.
About a year ago, Morris said the "entire medical staff" of the Stop Cop City activist movement was camped on his property.

A Delaware man serving a three-year sentence for marching through the halls of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, has won early release thanks to a Supreme Court decision to review the Biden administration's novel use of an evidence-tampering law to prosecute hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants for felony obstruction of Congress.
Kevin Seefried, who was one of the first people to enter the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was convicted in June 2022 following a bench trial before Judge Trevor McFadden of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on four misdemeanors and a single felony obstruction charge.
Judge McFadden sentenced him on Feb. 9, 2023, to 36 months in prison and one year of supervised release.
Mr. Seefried, who's been incarcerated since May 31, 2023, appealed his conviction and sentence several times.
Following a complex legal journey tied to the fate of a separate Jan. 6 case that is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge McFadden issued an order on March 26, granting Mr. Seefried's motion for release pending resolution of an appeal—but not immediately.
"The Bureau of Prisons is ordered to release Seefried one year after the day on which he surrendered to custody," the judge wrote in the memorandum and order, meaning that Mr. Seefried will remain behind bars until May 31.

A former neo-Nazi who inspired Edward Norton's character in "American History X" has recently revealed that he is of Jewish descent. After finding out the truth about his ancestry, Frank Meeink, 48, decided to turn his life around, according to the New York Post.
Meeink — who found out he was Jewish through a DNA test — was previously the figurehead of a violent far-right group in the early 1990s, even going so far as to torture those he perceived as enemies to ignite the flames of a race war.
The former neo-Nazi was a devout anti-Semite and sported a swastika tattoo on his neck. He claimed that the "Zionist occupation government" run by the Jews was the "root of all evil."

There has been a recent series of unprovoked, broad-daylight attacks on women in New York City. The savage assaults have prompted outrage, even among some Democrats.
One Democratic New York City councilwoman in particular asked why men were not altogether stepping up to address the issue. Critics swiftly provided Councilwoman Amanda Farías with one possible reason why: She and other leftists have cried foul when men have previously stepped into the breach.
With women and men alike ostensibly in danger, former Marine Daniel Penny, then 24, did not simply call out the danger. He did something about it.
Leftists such as Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) rushed to condemn Penny and paint the perp Jordan Neely as a victim.

esearchers at Harvard have reportedly developed a metafluid that they have referred to as "intelligent liquid," according to the Debrief. The liquid contains "tunable springiness, adjustable optical properties, variable viscosity, and even the seemingly magical ability to shift between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid."
Adel Djellouli — a Research Associate in Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences — said: "We are just scratching the surface of what is possible with this new class of fluid."
"With this one platform, you could do so many different things in so many different fields."

Quote from: DKG on April 07, 2024, 02:01:19 PMResearchers at Harvard have reportedly developed a metafluid that they have referred to as "intelligent liquid," according to the Debrief. The liquid contains "tunable springiness, adjustable optical properties, variable viscosity, and even the seemingly magical ability to shift between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid."
Adel Djellouli — a Research Associate in Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences — said: "We are just scratching the surface of what is possible with this new class of fluid."
"With this one platform, you could do so many different things in so many different fields."
Rover supposedly operated by fluidics but I never believed that as liquid density would need to be near zero. However, if you could convert that intelligent liquid into intelligent vapor -

A massive container ship attempting to leave the waters around New York City Friday reportedly suffered a similar issue to that experienced by the vessel that tragically brought the historic Francis Scott Key Bridge crashing into Baltimore Harbor late last month.
Unlike the Singapore-flagged Dali, the propulsion problem suffered by the APL Qingdao did not ultimately prove to be calamitous.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed to the New York Post that the APL Qingdao, a 1,145-foot, 89,000-ton ship flying under the Malta flag, lost propulsion around 8:30 p.m. while sailing along the shipping lane between Staten Island and Bayonne, New Jersey.

lon Musk is challenging Justice Alexander de Moraes, a Brazilian judge, who has reportedly applied massive fines, threatened to arrest X employees, and threatened to cut off access to the app in Brazil.
"We will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit," Musk posted on X.
The judge has allegedly already jailed people without trial for posting threats on social media and has unilaterally blocked dozens of accounts and thousands of posts on social media.
"Over the weekend, he said if you don't give me your data, Facebook, Google, and X, on all of the people that are posting — if you don't give that to me, you're banned from being in Brazil."
"If you remember, the Left was saying Bolsonaro was a dictator. And so now, to prevent the dictator, they have become dictators — the exact scenario that we're worried about here in America, but nobody really seems to care," Glenn says.
"In their hunt for dictators, they have become a dictatorship. That's really important for everyone in America to understand," he continues, adding, "what's happening in Brazil is what's coming here. If we don't get out and vote, this is our future in America."

Americans are increasingly suffering cancer at younger ages.
The journal Nature noted last month that the number of early-onset cancer cases will increase by roughly 30% between 2019 and 2030. Additionally, colorectal cancer, which historically has affected geriatric men, is now the leading cause of cancer death among men under 50 and is now the second-leading cause of cancer death among young women. Uterine cancer has increase by 2% every year for the past three decades. Early-onset breast cancer has reportedly jumped by nearly 4% annually between 2016 and 2019.
Various possible factors have been considered, including rising rates of obesity; dietary changes and corresponding alterations to gut bacteria; sleep deprivation; increased alcohol consumption; and vaccines.

I actually like taking public transit in Singpaore. It is on time, super clean, safe, and relaxing. In Canadian cities, stations are full of aggressive homeless beggars, drug addicts, the smell of piss, and litter everywhere. The buses and rapid transit systems in Canada are in reality travelling homeless shelters. Junkies and bums don't pay to ride, harass everybody. Besides that, there is the stench and garbage all over the place.

Oil is more likely to fall to $75 than to rise to $100.
Geopolitical concerns are now fully baked into oil prices. Bearly all the increase in oil prices (to around $91 a barrel from the mid-70s in February)is attributable to geopolitical concerns rather than supply risks.

I'm not saying you're wrong but I don't understand how those concerns are "baked in" when Israel has yet to both invade Rafah and attack Iran again, actions that are sure to raise tensions and/or provoke further strikes against Israel by pro-Palestinian forces in the region further destabilizing conditions in the middle east?
If those estimations are presuming there won't be a broader conflict in the region any time soon they may be... optimistic. If the estimations are ignoring such factors the estimations are highly suspect anyway.

Bottom line is that demand is not expected to outstrip supply in the near term. The state of the global economy will be the main driver of prices, not geopolitical instability.

Australian officials determined that the attack on Christian clergymen, which was captured on video, was an act of religiously motivated terrorism.
While apparently willing to admit the attack was what it appeared to be on video, the Australian government has attempted to erase the video evidence from social media.

While the platform appeared willing to accommodate the Australian eSafety Commissioner regionally, that apparently was not enough for the Australian state, which has since demanded global censorship of the video.

A Louisiana man who admitted to raping a girl when she was a young teenager has opted to undergo surgical castration as part of his sentence.
The case began in July 2022, when a young woman went to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office to make a disturbing report about Glenn Sullivan Sr. of Springfield, Louisiana, about 40 miles east of Baton Rouge. According to the young woman, Sullivan "had raped her multiple times when she was just 14-years-old," said a Facebook post from the office of District Attorney Scott M. Perrilloux.
The girl had become pregnant as a result of the attacks. A DNA test of her child later confirmed that Sullivan is the father.
An investigation into the case also revealed that Sullivan, who is now 54 years old, first groomed the girl into the assaults. He then threatened her and her family with violence to keep them quiet about them, the DA's office said.
Last week, Sullivan pled guilty to four counts of second-degree rape.
Louisiana law takes the rape of a minor very seriously and imposes harsh penalties on those convicted of it. In some cases, convicted rapists in Louisiana can even be ordered to undergo chemical or surgical castration as part of their sentence.
Judge William Dykes must have believed that Sullivan's case warranted castration, as he issued the order for it. However, the method of castration was left up to Sullivan. As part of his plea agreement, Sullivan chose surgery.

Retail workers and people employed in the food services industry will be replaced by AI as the ramps up its takeover of the workforce, an expert has revealed.
The dire warning comes amid fears the technology known as generative AI could be rolled out across Australia by the end of this year, leaving thousands of workers displaced.
Research by workplace technology firm Service Now, found that 1.3million jobs will be automated in Australia over the next four years in a major shakeup to the workforce.
Office Support
Admin jobs will be replaced very easily by AI with workers such as secretaries and those who perform clerical duties, to be affected by the technology.
Other roles that will face the brunt of these machine learning tools also include bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and data entry.
Customer Service and Sales
The retail and sales sector will also be heavily impacted by AI.
Service Now and workforce technology expert Pearson, found that nearly a quarter of retail jobs in Australia will be scrapped due to the technology by 2027.
This amounts to 323,000 full-time workers who will be left jobless, as companies transition to cheaper alternatives.
Food services
Restaurants and fast food chains already use AI technology to take orders from customers and recommend menu items.

Other roles that will face the brunt of these machine learning tools also include bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and data entry.
Customer Service and Sales
The retail and sales sector will also be heavily impacted by AI.
Service Now and workforce technology expert Pearson, found that nearly a quarter of retail jobs in Australia will be scrapped due to the technology by 2027.
This amounts to 323,000 full-time workers who will be left jobless, as companies transition to cheaper alternatives.
Food services
Restaurants and fast food chains already use AI technology to take orders from customers and recommend menu items.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an alarming rise of an aggressive and highly fatal secondary fungal infection among those with active or recovered COVID-19.
Research suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the overuse of immunosuppressive COVID-19 treatments such as corticosteroids and antibiotics, and the global pandemic response made people more susceptible to coinfections such as COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM).
Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, is an opportunistic fungal infection that typically affects the sinuses, lungs, and brain. It is caused by a group of molds commonly found in the environment. Before COVID-19, these fungi rarely caused infection because of low virulence, but the second wave of COVID-19 brought tens of thousands of reported cases. Even the Omicron variant, which was generally attributed to mild COVID-19, has been linked to lethal mucormycosis infections in the United States and Asia.

Students sitting for the STAAR exam throughout the state of Texas will have their written answers automatically graded by artificial intelligence. The development comes as some fear AI could significantly affect education in the near future.
The exam — provided by the Texas Education Agency — will use an "automated scoring engine" to help grade open-ended questions on the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness for writing, reading, science, and social studies. The move is a step beyond using machines to simply grade multiple-choices answers or Scantron sheets.

The Supreme Court refused on May 13 to take up the case of app developers who accuse Apple of antitrust violations for refusing to make COVID-19 tracking and bitcoin apps available in the company's App Store.
App makers had sued Apple, claiming the Silicon Valley giant had violated antitrust laws and that its refusal to allow its apps constituted censorship, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit rejected the lawsuit late last year.
The petition for certiorari, or review, in Coronavirus Reporter v. Apple Inc. was denied in an unsigned order. No justices dissented from the denial.

Oh, and it breaks every mod you had installed. And causes your game to stutter and freeze. And destroys your 200 hour playthrough with the best settlement system you ever built. And makes you want to shove a Fat Man up Todd Howard's ass and feed him to the Super Mutants.

That DEI shit is all a scam anyway.
The former diversity program manager for Nike and Facebook who stole more than $5 million from large companies to support her luxury lifestyle has been sentenced to five years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia.
Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, set up false business deals, invoices, and events—including a Juneteenth celebration—to pad her own pockets.
U.S. Attorney Ryan Buchanan said: "Furlow-Smiles shamelessly violated her position of trust as a DEI executive at Facebook to steal millions from the company utilizing a scheme involving fraudulent vendors, fake invoices, and cash kickbacks."
After being terminated from Facebook, she brazenly continued the fraud as a DEI leader at Nike, where she stole another six-figure sum from their diversity program. Her prison sentence reflects the consequences of her decision to orchestrate an intricate scheme to defraud two of her employers for personal profit."

On Thursday, only days before the trial's closing arguments were set to begin, panels of judges from New York's Appellate Division ruled against Trump twice—denying separate requests to force New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan to recuse himself from the case and to move the trial out of Manhattan and into another county.
The denial of the request to change the location of the trial was issued with little explanation, with the judges only writing that they had denied Trump's motion for a venue change following "due deliberation" after "reading and filing the papers with respect to the motion."

The mother said that Wactor "didn't try to fight or stop them," but the "men shot him anyway before taking off."

A tire company in California was ordered to stop playing loud music near a homeless encampment after a homeless man filed a lawsuit against the company.
"The first night, I got to bed at 1 a.m.. The second night, I got no sleep during the night. And the third night, Sunday night, I had no way to get any sleep," said Bruce Gaylord to KGO-TV.
Gaylord said that he has lived in the encampment in the city of San Rafael, California, since last year after he stopped to get medications in Barstow to treat his mental illness and his truck was stolen.
The encampment is located next to the East Bay Tire Company on Lincoln Ave. Gaylord said that they recently began to blare out classical music in an effort to drive away the homeless people living there.
"It was painful," he said of the music. "That's how loud it was. Rock concert loud."
He said that he tried to call police but that they didn't help him. So, he called homeless advocate Robbie Powelson, who went down to document the music near the encampment.
Powelson filed a lawsuit against the company, and a judge ordered them to temporarily stop the music.
While the company denies that the music is intended to drive away the homeless, Gaylord said he will press on with the lawsuit in order to defend the people at the encampment.

Poland Sees 'Russian Cyberattack' Behind Fake Military Draft Report
(https://i.imgur.com/Rv4kQgv.gif)
The Polish government said Friday that a false story stating that Poles would be mobilised to fight in Ukraine that appeared on the state news agency was likely a Russian cyberattack.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the hacking attack as part of Russia's attempts to destabilise the European Union ahead of next month's European Parliament elections. The fake report was published Friday as NATO's foreign ministers met in the Czech Republic to discuss long-term support for Ukraine as it battles Russian forces.
"Given the probable Russian cyberattack on the Polish Press Agency and the release of disinformation on alleged mobilisation in Poland, the ABW and the digital ministry have taken swift action," security services spokesman Jacek Dobrzynski said on X, referring to the domestic security agency.
The Polish Press Agency (PAP) deleted the article a few minutes after it was published, adding that "the source of the text is not the Polish Press Agency". The article then appeared a second time before being deleted again.
The PAP said it was "investigating the circumstances around the appearance of the false story".

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday issued a decision that makes it harder for illegal immigrants subject to a deportation order to challenge their removal from the country on the grounds that the government sent them an initial notice to appear that lacked a time and place for their hearing even though it followed up with a second notice that contained this information.
In a 5–4 decision issued on June 14, with Justice Neil Gorsuch joining the liberal minority in dissent, the high court sided with the government in upholding the legitimacy of what amounts to a two-step notification system in the process of deporting illegal immigrants that effectively removes one basis for them to get their removal order rescinded.
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act mandates that the government issue "written notice" to illegal immigrants who are either "inadmissible" or "deportable" informing them about the removal proceedings they are being subjected to.

Julian Assange freed in US plea deal
(https://i.imgur.com/krFoMXu.jpeg)
After a years-long legal saga, Wikileaks says that founder Julian Assange has left the UK after reaching a deal with US authorities that will see him plead guilty to criminal charges and go free.
Assange, 52, was charged with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information.
For years, the US has argued that the Wikileaks files - which disclosed information about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - endangered lives.
Assange spent the last five years in a British prison, from where he was fighting extradition to the US.
According to CBS, the BBC's US partner, Assange will spend no time in US custody and will receive credit for the time spent incarcerated in the UK.
Assange will return to Australia, according to a letter from the justice department.

Canada's population projected to reach 63 million, as aging trend continues
Statistics Canada said an aging population and low birthrates mean that migration will be the key driver of Canada's growth for the foreseeable future
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadas-population-projected-to-reach-63-million-as-aging-trend-continues
OTTAWA — Canada's population of those 85 and older is expected to triple by 2073 to as many as 4.3 million people, an increase that will likely place new pressure on the country on several fronts, one demographer says.
Statistics Canada said in its projections released Monday that the country's population could reach a medium-growth forecast of 63 million by 2073 and at least 3.3 million will be over 85.
The agency said the aging population and low birthrates mean that migration will be the key driver of Canada's growth for the foreseeable future.
"Natural increase — that is, the balance of births minus deaths — would play only a marginal role, given the anticipated rise in the number of deaths due to population aging, as well as low fertility, a situation observed in many other countries," Statistics Canada said in the projection.

(https://i.imgur.com/krFoMXu.jpeg)
After a years-long legal saga, Wikileaks says that founder Julian Assange has left the UK after reaching a deal with US authorities that will see him plead guilty to criminal charges and go free.
Assange, 52, was charged with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information.
For years, the US has argued that the Wikileaks files - which disclosed information about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - endangered lives.
Assange spent the last five years in a British prison, from where he was fighting extradition to the US.
According to CBS, the BBC's US partner, Assange will spend no time in US custody and will receive credit for the time spent incarcerated in the UK.
Assange will return to Australia, according to a letter from the justice department.

I've said he should be pardoned for years. Trump should have pardoned him during his last term.

Toys 'R' Us partnered with Native Foreign to push the boundaries of Sora, OpenAI's new technology that has recently gained global attention. Sora can create up to one-minute-long videos featuring realistic scenes and multiple characters, all generated from text instruction. Imagine the excitement of creating a young Charles Lazarus, the founder of Toys"R"Us, and envisioning his dreams for our iconic brand and beloved mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe in the early 1930s.

Do not use seed oils for cooking. These oils include corn, canola, sunflower, safflower, and soybean oil. Those oils do not occur naturally. They are ultra processed. Those oils are fragile, they're not meant to be crushed and extracted out of seeds.
Olive oil, coconut oil, real butter are much better. They're fruit oils, which are not made from seeds. For example, when you make olive oil, you actually press the olive to extract the oil.

The governor "verbally" declared a disaster after "an avian flu outbreak in a commercial poultry facility in Weld County," according to a news release from his office issued on Monday. Mr. Polis's office did not name the facility that was impacted by the outbreak.
The declaration means that Colorado can use its emergency powers to "take all necessary and appropriate state actions to assist with response, recovery, and mitigation efforts."

A radical leftist has now resigned his elected position as a state constable in Pennsylvania after he apparently took to social media to express ideas about assassinating former President Donald Trump and killing some of his supporters.
Until a week or so ago, Matt Croyle was the first ward constable of Oil City, Pennsylvania, located about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh. He also apparently had accounts on X and Facebook using his actual name and alluding to his elected office.
'Get ready to die.'
But just before the July 4th holiday, Croyle apparently used those social media accounts to lash out against Trump, his supporters, and even justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. The language he reportedly employed is both crass and violent:
"Punch the f***ing bully right in the g**d*** f***ing mouth. Hard. No restraint. Lock [Trump] the f*** up immediately. If it's an official action, jail the f***ing Supreme Court. Save us from ourselves."
"Remember when political assassinations used to happen a lot? I mean, I'm not saying one should happen here, but am saying one COULD happen here and most folks wouldn't cry about it."
"If you have friends and family members who support Trump—if it comes down to it, you may literally have to kill them before they kill you. This is where this is headed. This is a fifty-alarm f***ing fire."
"The only thing I can wish for, at this point, is for some p*ssed-off far-left whackadoodles to start taking potshots at Trump. I'll be over here drinking coffee."
"Get ready to die."

ACalifornia U.S. Army veteran serving an 18-month prison sentence for obstructing Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, was ordered released July 12 under the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the most commonly charged Jan. 6 felony and its maximum 20-year prison term.
Jorge Aaron Riley, 46, of Sacramento, will be released "forthwith" from the federal lockup in Lompoc, California, under an order issued July 12 by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C. Mehta granted Riley's request for bail pending resolution of a motion to vacate the sentence.
Riley's release is the latest fallout from the Supreme Court's ruling in the landmark case Fischer v. United States. In a 6-3 opinion on June 28, the high court said the U.S. Department of Justice could only use the felony obstructing charge if it could prove defendants impaired the use of documents, objects, or "other things" used during counting of Electoral College votes at the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6.

John Strand, a former model and actor who went to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to protect Dr. Simone Gold of America's Frontline Doctors, was ordered released from prison July 15 in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision stymieing use of a 20-year felony obstruction charge.
United States District Judge Christopher Cooper granted Strand's second motion for release since February — just weeks after a Supreme Court ruling strictly limited the obstruction of an official proceeding charge leveled against Strand and 354 other Jan. 6 defendants.
Gold, Strand's friend who served a 60-day prison sentence on a misdemeanor count of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, praised Strand's integrity after learning of the release order.

Poland Authorizes Deadly Force On Border After Spear-Throwing Migrants Murder Guard
(https://i.imgur.com/Lr0EUR0m.jpeg)
The Poland-Belarus border crisis has intensified over the past month, following the death of a Polish border guard at the hands of a spear-throwing migrant. The death of 21-year-old border guard Sgt Mateusz Sitek on June 6th garnered national and international attention, after days prior to his succumbing to his wounds a sharp spear was hurled from the fence where he was on patrol.
Hundreds have continued to try and force their way across the border, authorities have described, in a situation which noticeably intensified starting in April this year (amid at least two years of border tensions). Some pundits are openly blaming Putin and say that it is all connected with the Ukraine war.
There has been growing pressure on the Polish government to loosen up rules of engagement and the ability of troops to defend themselves on the border. Regional media is saying parliament has approved firing upon attacking migrants in self defense.
The bill amends existing laws to remove liability for "a crime committed by a soldier, police or border guard officer who, in violation of the rules on the use of direct coercive measures and firearms, issues an order to use them or uses them himself in specific cases – if the situation requires immediate action."

The website DownDectector, which tracks user-reported internet outages, recorded growing outages in services at Visa, ADT security and Amazon, and airlines including American Airlines and Delta.
News outlets in Australia reported that airlines, telecommunications providers and banks, and media broadcasters were disrupted as they lost access to computer systems. Airlines in the U.K., Europe and India reported problems and some New Zealand banks said they were offline.

The problem with the Tommies is that most of the testosterone of the Anglo Saxons was wiped out over the two world wars last century. That's why there's so many buggering homos in the UK today. The Welsh, Scots and Irish are pretty much pansies too.

But it is true. Just a hundred and twenty-five years ago Britain ruled one quarter of the entire land mass of the globe. Look at the UK today? The white folks are all homosexuals and trannies and they've flooded the Isle of the Mighty (Albion) with inferior wog mud people from their former colonies who are now out breeding them and destroying the ancient culture of Britain.

A Venezuelan national who illegally snuck into the United States may not be deported despite committing "at least 22 criminal offenses" in New York City according to a recent House committee report.
A 10-page report from the House Judiciary Committee revealed that the Biden-Harris administration's open-border policies allowed Daniel Hernandez-Martinez — a 30-year-old Venezuelan national with suspected ties to Tren de Aragua, a violent gang — to remain in the country even after being accused of committing a string of crimes.
Hernandez-Martinez was released into the U.S. in early 2023 "without any legal justification," according to the report. It is unclear what vetting procedures were followed when Border Patrol initially encountered him, the report noted.
Within his first two months in New York City, Hernandez-Martinez was arrested and released six times for alleged criminal activity, including random attacks on at least three strangers and two New York Police Department officers.
"In addition to a string of petty thefts, including 'using a large metal pipe to break locks to steal bicycles in Times Square,' Martinez is alleged to have threatened and assaulted multiple people, including hitting a man with a bike tire, kicking a woman and dragging her by her hair, threatening another person with a chain, and pulling 'out a large knife and advanc[ing] toward an undercover officer,'" the report read.

Local airline Voepass' plane, an ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop, was headed for Sao Paulo's international airport in Guarulhos with 58 passengers and 4 crew members, when it went down in the city of Vinhedo.

Because it hurts the feelings of the DEI hires to point out that they weren't hired because they deserved the job, but because they had the "correct" melanin content in their skin or have the proper genitalia to check off a box in the DEI list.

Paramount Television Studios Is Shutting Down Amid Massive Cuts
(https://i.imgur.com/Oi4BnFU.jpeg)
Following a tumultuous year of layoffs and an ongoing merger, Paramount Television Studios is now shutting down.
Today, Paramount Television Studios President Nicole Clemens announced that the division will shut down by the end of the week via a memo sent to employees, according to Deadline. The decision comes just days after Paramount announced that it would lay off 15 percent of its employees in the U.S.
According to another memo sent by CBS CEO and Paramount Global Co-CEO George Cheeks, the decision was not based on performance and instead was "the result of significant changes in the TV and streaming marketplace and the need to streamline our company." (yeah right)
Cheeks also announced that all current PTVS series and projects in development, including Cross, Before, and Murderbot, are moving to CBS Studios. It is still unclear if any employees are being folded into CBS as well or if all are simply being laid off.

Disney argues wrongful death suit should be tossed because plaintiff signed up for a Disney+ trial
(https://i.imgur.com/ICdyjNl.jpg)
Does signing up for Disney's popular streaming service mean you have agreed to never sue the entertainment giant over anything forever?
That is what Disney argues in a wrongful death lawsuit involving a 42-year-old New York doctor whose family claims had a fatal allergic reaction after eating at an Irish pub in Disney Springs in October.
Disney is asking a Florida court to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Jeffrey Piccolo, the husband of Kanokporn Tangsuan, a family medicine specialist with NYU Langone's office in Carle Place, on Long Island. The company argues Piccolo had agreed to settle any lawsuits against Disney out of court through the arbitration process when he signed up for a one-month trial of Disney+ in 2019 and acknowledged that he had reviewed the fine print.
"The Terms of Use, which were provided with the Subscriber Agreement, include a binding arbitration clause," the company wrote in its motion. "The first page of the Subscriber Agreement states, in all capital letters, that 'any dispute between You and Us, Except for Small Claims, is subject to a class action waiver and must be resolved by individual binding arbitration'."
Piccolo's lawsuit, which was filed in February, claims that he, his wife and his mother ate at the Raglan Road Irish Pub in Disney Springs, an outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment complex at Disney World, on Oct. 5, 2023.
After informing their server numerous times that she had a severe allergy to nuts and dairy products and required "allergen-free food," Tangsuan ordered the vegan fritter, scallops, onion rings and a vegan shepherd's pie. The waiter then "guaranteed" that the food was allergen-free even though some of the items were not served with "allergen free flags," the lawsuit states.
About 45 minutes after finishing their dinner, Tangsuan had difficulty breathing while out shopping, collapsed and eventually died at the hospital, despite self-administering an EpiPen during the allergic reaction, according to the lawsuit.
A medical examiner's investigation determined later she died as a result of "anaphylaxis due to elevated levels of dairy and nut in her system," the lawsuit said.

Speculation that President Joe Biden experienced a medical emergency in Nevada before he stepped down from his 2024 re-election campaign has since been confirmed, after newly released call logs from a Freedom of Information Act request indicate it was all true.
According to the call logs, police cleared the roads from near the MGM Grand to Lindo Michoacan, to bring Biden to the airport following reports that he was code "421" — which means sick or injured.
"Right now POTUS is 421," a Las Vegas Metro Police officer radioed in. "We're just trying to figure out what's going on, and we're going to go from there."
Immediately following the incident, Democrats claimed the speculation was not true and that he had a mild case of COVID.

The Taliban took to the streets of Kabul Wednesday to celebrate the third anniversary of the Biden-Harris administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Adding insult to injury, the Islamic extremists paraded around the former U.S. Bagram Air Base with the expensive U.S. weaponry and vehicles that were abandoned along with American citizens during the rushed exit — an exit Kamala Harris once boasted cosigning and President Joe Biden deemed an "extraordinary success."

But Gen Z is shaking things up and many teenagers are looking at taking alternative routes into their dream careers.
The number of 18-year-olds applying for university this year fell to 41.3%, which is the lowest level since before the pandemic. A total of 316,850 18-year-olds applied by the equal consideration deadline in January, according to Ucas.

Media platform X said on Saturday it would close its operations in Brazil "effective immediately" due to what it called "censorship orders" by Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes.
X, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, claims Moraes secretly threatened one of the company's legal representatives in the South American country with arrest if it did not comply with legal orders to take down some content from its platform.
The social media giant published pictures of a document allegedly signed by Moraes which says a daily fine of 20,000 reais ($3,653) and an arrest decree would be imposed against X representative Rachel Nova Conceicao if the platform did not fully comply to Moraes' orders.
"To protect the safety of our staff, we have made the decision to close our operation in Brazil, effective immediately," X said.

Disney no longer trying to dismiss wrongful death lawsuit
Disney's lawyers are no longer asking a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
The lawsuit, filed by the victim's husband earlier this year, accuses Disney of negligence in the death of Kanokporn Tangsuan, alleging that she suffered a fatal allergic reaction to the food she consumed at a Disney Springs restaurant on Oct. 5, 2023.
Months later, however, Disney had asked the court to dismiss Piccolo's lawsuit, claiming that he had agreed to settle any lawsuits against Disney out of court — all because he had signed up for a one-month trial of Disney+ in 2019 and acknowledged that he had reviewed the fine print.
This week, however, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D'Amaro said Disney's lawyers would withdraw from their argument.

The Israeli military said Tuesday that it recovered the bodies of six hostages taken in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack that started the war in Gaza, as U.S. and Arab mediators tried to advance an agreement to halt the fighting and release scores of other militant-held captives.
The military said its forces recovered the bodies in an overnight operation in southern Gaza, without saying when or how the six died. A forum for hostage families said they were kidnapped alive

A former NFL player is accused of urinating on an elderly woman during a flight from Boston to Dublin, Ireland, as well as hitting another elderly passenger.
A police report said 40-year-old Gosder Cherilus appeared intoxicated when he arrived at Logan Airport on Saturday evening for the Delta Airlines flight.
Cherilus allegedly argued with another passenger over seating arrangements, and about an hour into the flight, he allegedly walked over to an elderly female passenger and "emptied his entire bladder for 20 seconds" on her.
He then got "unruly and aggressive" when flight attendants tried to subdue him, and he struck another elderly man with his hand on the way back to his seat, according to the report. Passengers and crew feared for their safety, according to court documents — indeed, Cherilus stands six feet, six inches tall and weighs 280 pounds.
The incident forced the plane to turn around and head back to Logan Airport.
Police escorted him off the plane and arrested him for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Cherilus pleaded not guilty at his Monday arraignment but declined to answer reporters' questions as he walked from the Boston courthouse; he was released on $2,500 bail.

Canada rail shutdown threatens US supply chains
(https://i.imgur.com/mI11XNM.jpeg)
Crucial supply chains are under threat across North America after a rail labour dispute in Canada led to shutdown of freight traffic on the country's two largest railways.
Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), locked out nearly 9,300 workers after midnight on Thursday (04:00 GMT), after failing to clinch a late deal with the Teamsters union.
Hours after the strike began, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government would soon announce steps to resolve the work stoppage.
"We are not taking this lightly," he told reporters in Sherbrooke, Quebec. "We are on this."
Mr Trudeau offered no further insight into the government's plan to resolve the shutdown.

Law enforcement launched an intense manhunt for an Arizona man who allegedly threatened to assassinate former President Donald Trump during his Thursday visit to the southern border.
Arizona authorities are hunting down Ronald Lee Syrvud — a convicted sex offender — regarding several outstanding warrants and alleged threats of killing Trump during the former president's visit to the southern border in Cochise County, according to the Daily Mail.
Law enforcement said Syrvud is a resident of Benson — roughly 50 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border and 50 miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona.
The Cochise County Sheriff's Office described Syrud as a 66-year-old white male who wears eyeglasses, stands 6 feet tall, and weighs 220 pounds.

Due to Durov's arrest, the UAE froze the contract for the purchase of fighter jets from France
After being detained in Paris Telegram founder Pavel Durov The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is considering the possibility of a complete blockade of military-technical cooperation with France. This is reported by the portal Avia.pro with reference to the media.
The media also report that after Durov's arrest, the UAE has already frozen the implementation of the contract for the purchase of 80 fighters from France, the portal notes.
Recall that Durov is, among other things, a citizen of the UAE.
As reported by EADaily, the Foreign Ministry of the United Arab Emirates called on France to provide Pavel Durov, detained in Paris, as a citizen of the UAE, with access to all necessary consular services, the Emirati Foreign Ministry said in a statement published by the WAM agency.

Close your eyes and picture Ireland. You're probably imagining lush green fields, charming villages, and thatched cottages. Now, open your eyes and acknowledge reality.
Nearly one in five people living in Ireland wasn't born there. In Galway, Muhammad recently surpassed Michael and Martin as the most popular name for newborn boys. That's right, Muhammad, a name synonymous with Islamic tradition. This is not the Ireland you know or thought you knew. It's a country in the midst of a radical transformation.

Bank employee found dead in her cubicle 4 days after last clocking in
(https://i.imgur.com/LUpvkVV.png)
A Wells Fargo employee in Arizona was discovered dead in her cubicle last week, four days after she was last seen clocking into the office, officials said.
Security at the Wells Fargo branch located in the 1100 block of West Washington Street contacted the Tempe Police Department after 60-year-old Denise Prudhomme was found dead in her cubicle on Tuesday, Aug. 20. Prudhomme had last scanned into work on Friday, Aug. 16, at around 7 a.m. and never checked out.
Police reported that Prudhomme was found on the third floor of the building, in a cubicle that was not in a main walkway, and there were no immediate signs of foul play. The Maricopa County Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause of her death.
An anonymous employee told KPNX that coworkers had noticed a foul odor but assumed it was related to a plumbing issue. Prudhomme's body was eventually discovered by another employee passing by.

Speaking of people leaving Canada.
Tens of thousands of international students who spent years finding a pathway to permanent residency are out of options
Tens of thousands of temporary residents who came to Canada as international students might be forced to return to their home countries in the next year – the result of a recent series of immigration policy changes that has left them with no prospect of obtaining permanent residency.
Policy experts estimate that between 70,000 and 130,000 international students holding postgraduation work permits (PGWP) will see their visas expiring in 2024 and 2025. Most, they predict, will not receive visa extensions or an invitation to apply for permanent residency because of Ottawa's shifting approach to immigration that is aiming to cap the number of temporary residents and low-wage foreign workers in the country.

I did some business in Indonesia, Jakarta, and it's quite common to see cats walking around with their tails missing. Apparently it's an easy meal for the street vendors. They cut off the cat's tail, and deglove the skin and fur in a quick yank, and in seconds it's cooking on the coals.
I'll make this confession: I was an international student on the bones of my arse in my early 20's because of the inflated student fees. I used to fish heaps for food and even collected seaweed and various molluscs from the rocks to sustain myself. At one stage I even tried to catch ducks and Ibis half-heartedly for a free feed...but later settled for 5kg of rice in bulk to get me through the lean times.
I can see where the guy is coming from being poor, but where does it stop? Feral cats are one thing...and someone's pets are quite another. And then there's the case of just catching food and selling to others for profit.
Nah...they need to assimilate and abide with the law or face deportation.

They're tribally opportunistic. We see it here in Australia and I saw it back in Africa. It takes many, many years to completely breed it out of them. Even cannibalism still still inherently within them.

Kentucky judge shot, killed in his chambers; sheriff charged with murder
(https://i.imgur.com/PhTi6W4.gif)
LETCHER COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT/WKYT) - A Kentucky sheriff is charged with the murder of a district court judge.
According to Kentucky State Police, at around 2:55 Thursday afternoon, they received a 9-1-1 call from the Letcher County Courthouse in reference to shots being fired from inside the building.
Several law enforcement agencies and emergency medical services responded to the scene and located District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, with multiple gunshot wounds.
KSP says lifesaving measures were attempted but unsuccessful.
Mullins was pronounced dead on scene by the Letcher County Coroner's Office.
KSP's preliminary investigation indicates that Letcher County Sheriff Shawn Mickey Stines, 43, shot Mullins following an argument inside the courthouse.
They say Stines was taken into custody at the scene without incident.

For the first time in history, China's military has deployed all its aircraft carriers to sea simultaneously. This provides insight into how the PRC might position its ships in the event of, say, an attack on Taiwan, The Telegraph reports.
According to the news agency, over the past weekend, all three Chinese aircraft carriers—the former Soviet Liaoning, its locally-produced sister ship Shandong, and the newest, largest, and most advanced Chinese-made carrier Fujian—were at sea.
It is known that Fujian is undergoing trials in the Yellow Sea. Shandong was in the South China Sea west of Taiwan with its escort, while Liaoning and its escort were in the Philippine Sea east of Taiwan. Interestingly, Fujian is not yet officially part of China's military fleet. However, once it joins, China will become the world's second-largest aircraft carrier power, surpassing the dual-deck Royal Navy and the Indian Navy.

Follow up -
Sobs rang out in a small-town Kentucky courtroom Tuesday as footage was played of a local sheriff shooting dead a judge after finding his daughter's number on the judge's phone.
Just hours before the shooting the sheriff and judge, who were longtime friends, shared an outside table at the popular Streetside Grill & Bar on Main Street for lunch, only a few hundred yards from the courthouse.
The pair were lunchtime regulars together at the sports bar and on that fateful Thursday ordered their usual – both having the $13.99 wings with salad.
'Everything seemed fine between them. There was no clue that anything was wrong at all,' one of the staff attending them that day said.
The court heard that surveillance video also showed Stines looking at Mullins' phone several times and then using his phone and Mullins' phone to try and call his daughter before the shooting.
Upon discovering his daughter's number in the phone, he jumped to his feet within 'seconds', the court heard. He then opened fire.

The second gentleman — who has been married to Harris since 2014 — allegedly struck his then-girlfriend while in a valet line at Cannes Film Festival due to a dispute about her "flirting" with another man.

A comprehensive review found that patients who take aspirin have a relatively lower risk of developing various types of cancer.
In November 2023, researchers from Cardiff University in Wales published a comprehensive review in the British Journal of Cancer (BJC) outlining aspirin's potential to reduce cancer mortality, prevent metastatic cancer spread, and minimize vascular complications. The review encompassed both favorable and unfavorable evidence, thoroughly analyzing the rationale behind using aspirin in cancer treatment.

Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard was found not guilty Friday of sexually assaulting a young woman in northeastern Ontario eight years ago, the culmination of a roughly two-week trial that saw both the singer and his accuser paint starkly different pictures of what happened.
The former Hedley frontman, who had pleaded not guilty to sexual assault in the case, nonetheless remains behind bars as he serves a five-year sentence for a different sexual assault conviction — a case jurors did not hear about during his trial.

A Christian cake baker has finally defeated legal harassment from the LGBTQ+ movement after fighting in court for more than a decade.
jackass Phillips was sued in 2012 for refusing to create a cake for a same-sex couple at his Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado and then later sued for refusing to create a cake celebrating a transgender transition. Attorneys for the Alliance Defending Freedom have defended Phillips for 12 years.
On Tuesday the Colorado Supreme Court dismissed the second lawsuit after saying that the attorney who filed the lawsuit did not follow the proper process to do so. Phillips won the first lawsuit in 2018 after a court found that officials acted with hostility against his faith.
Neither of the legal victories established Phillips' constitutional right to free speech as a basis for dismissal.
"Enough is enough. jackass has been dragged through courts for over a decade. It's time to leave him alone," said Jake Warner, the senior counsel for ADF.
"Free speech is for everyone," he added. "In this case, an attorney demanded that jackass create a custom cake that would celebrate and symbolize a transition from male to female. Because that cake admittedly expresses a message, and because jackass cannot express that message for anyone, the government cannot punish jackass for declining to express it. The First Amendment protects that decision."

A rare rain in the Sahara Desert
(https://i.imgur.com/DYXZWCE.png)
A rare deluge of rainfall left blue lagoons of water amid the palm trees and sand dunes of the Sahara Desert, nourishing some of its most drought-stricken regions with more water than many had seen in decades.
Southeastern Morocco's desert is among the most arid places in the world and rarely experiences rain in late summer.
The Moroccan government said two days of rainfall in September had exceeded yearly averages in several areas that get an average of less than 250 millimetres annually, including Tata, one of the areas hit hardest. In Tagounite, a village about 450 kilometres south of the capital Rabat, more than 100mm was recorded in a 24-hour period.
The storms left striking images of bountiful water gushing through the Saharan sands amid castles and desert flora.
"It's been 30 to 50 years since we've had this much rain in such a short space of time," said Houssine Youabeb of Morocco's General Directorate of Meteorology.

Anti-Israel hacker group hacks 'Internet Archive'
(https://i.imgflip.com/7aw87f.gif)
The Internet Archive, a non-profit organization that has been cataloging and preserving web pages and other online content worldwide since the 1990s, experienced a massive breach following a cyberattack that took place on Tuesday, resulting in the leak of approximately 31 million user accounts.
The project's founder, Brewster Kahle, confirmed the breach in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The hacker group that claimed responsibility for the attack said that their actions were motivated by a desire to "inflict significant losses on many countries that serve the devil and the global Zionist regime."
Visitors to the organization's website, archive.org, on Wednesday, began reporting a warning message created by a hacker saying that the archive had been breached. The message read: "Have you ever felt like the Internet Archive runs on sticks and is constantly on the verge of suffering a catastrophic security breach? It just happened. See 31 million of you on HIBP!"
"HIBP" stands for "Have I Been Pwned," a website where users can check if their data or specific databases have been compromised. Hackers often share details about their activities on the site. According to the service's administrator, Troy Hunt, the hacker who breached the archive provided the database to HIBP which contains the email addresses, usernames, passwords and other user data.

Her list of accolades is long and impressive. Campbell played college hockey at Cornell University, won numerous medals playing on Canada's national team, and even played professionally in Canada and Sweden.
I think the Kraken picked her to be coach because of how woke the city is. It was a ploy to get casual fans to show up. Once the team is in the basement of the Pacific Division, then she'll get sent packing.

Its the cleanliness, the service, and the fact that the food is real. The food is actually a bit boring but it isnt fake pink slime like McD's.
I actually prefer Popeyes but I can rarely tolerate the hassle. Amongst these hassles are:
1. You never know if the place is ONLY taking cash or ONLY card
2. The person at the drive up tells you to pull forward where they take your order. They do 1 drive through order at a time.
3. They are out of whatever you want about 1/2 the time.
4. They either have 2 black people working their asses off to the point of going postal or 5 niggers fucking everything up.
5. Its dirty AF!
6. They are rude AF.
Lots of other bullshit as well.

Peanut the Squirrel, beloved pet and internet sensation, euthanized after being seized by NY state
(https://i.imgur.com/7OvW06O.png)
Peanut the Squirrel, of internet fame, has been euthanized after the pet was seized by New York state earlier this week, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation.
The seven-year-old gray rescue squirrel, commonly referred to as "P'Nut" on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, was put to death, along with Fred the raccoon, so that the animals could be tested for the presence of rabies.
Peanut was rescued by guardian Mark Longo, after the Connecticut native witnessed P'Nut's mother hit by a car.
The resilient and adorable Peanut inspired Longo to move to upstate New York last year and found "P'Nut's Freedom Farm", an animal sanctuary and rescue operation.
On Wednesday, Peanut, and Fred the racoon, were seized by the Department of Environmental Conservation after multiple anonymous complaints about wild animals living in the Longo house.
"Well internet, you WON," Longo wrote in a caption after the animals were seized. "You took one of the most amazing animals away from me because of your selfishness."
"To the group of people who called DEC, there's a special place in hell for you," Longo added.
In a statement to The Post on Wednesday, the DEC said that they were responding to complaints of a rabies vector species that was in the home, namely, Fred the raccoon.

Trump Rages Against New York For Euthanizing Social Media Star Peanut the Squirrel: 'Innocent By All Accounts!'
(https://i.imgur.com/iiGyzoW.jpeg)
Former President Donald Trump released a statement on Saturday raging against New York officials after a man's social media sensation pets were euthanized by the state.
Trump made it crystal clear in his statement that he felt the entire effort was a waste of resources, calling Peanut "innocent by all accounts." He also suggested Peanut could have saved his life if he'd gained the ability to speak and communicated to state officials that he is an illegal migrant -
"There have been horrible reports out of New York, my former home state, where state environmental agents raided the home of Mark Longo and his wife. Mark was taken into custody for hours while officials searched his home and eventually took two of their pets, Fred the Raccoon and Peanut the Squirrel. These animals were later executed by the state of New York.
New York authorities, under their terrible Governor, put more effort in finding and eliminating a squirrel, who was innocent by all accounts, than they do to control the unchecked illegal immigrants who have flooded their state. If Peanut could have told them he was from Mexico, they would have sent him on his way and given him a hotel room and a $500 gift card to Buddy Squirrel. Instead, he was taken from his family. Very sad, and a complete waste of resources! When we win, we will get our priorities in order and MAGA!"

Social media flew into a frenzy Saturday morning when an apparent press release from Donald Trump's campaign called for justice for Peanut the squirrel ... but it was all a hoax, TMZ has learned.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung tells us a statement that spread on X like wildfire was not real ... Trump had not addressed the confiscated and euthanized squirrel controversy.
Amid the noise, a wave of AI-generated artwork of Trump and Peanut started taking over X ... similar to when the pet-eating controversy was going down back in September.

Ajunior hockey player was suspended for five games for referring to an opposing player as a Mennonite and therefore violating the league's rules on provocation.
20-year-old Landon Sim of the London Knights was issued the five-game suspension for "marginalizing" an opponent on both "religious and cultural grounds," the Ontario Hockey League found.
The OHL is in the Canadian Hockey League, which is comprised of several leagues across Canada (Western, Ontario, and Quebec) and is considered the top-tier of junior hockey in the world.
On November 6, Sim was ejected with a game misconduct for his violation during a 5-1 win against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.

Quebec orders audits at 17 schools over alleged behaviour 'contrary to Quebec values'
Complaints and reports have been brought to the attention of the (Education Department) regarding issues related to non-compliance with secular obligations," the Education Department said in a statement. "Many citizens responded to the call to inform the government of any situation where behaviour contrary to the values of Quebec society is observed.
Questions around religious neutrality in schools have been swirling since the publication last month of an Education Department report on a school in Montreal, where media reports had exposed questionable religious practices and a toxic climate. A government investigation found that a "dominant clan" at Bedford school imposed strict, autocratic rule over students.
The investigation revealed that the teachers, who were allegedly influenced by the local mosque, subjected children to physical and psychological abuse. There were incidents of prayers in the classroom and some teachers allegedly refused to teach — or paid little attention to — the science and sex education curriculum.
Eleven teachers — a mix of men and women — were described as being part of a "dominant clan" at the school. They have been suspended with pay and their teaching licences were suspended pending a full investigation.

People rejoice as Pluto enters Aquarius for the first time in over 200 years
People on the web are rejoicing as Pluto is set to enter Aquarius for the first time in over 200 years, bringing a wave of rejuvenation and transformation.
For the first time since 1778, Pluto, which is known as the planet of destruction, death and rebirth, will make its way into the eleventh sign.
Pluto will head into Aquarius on November 19 and won't exit until March 8, 2043.
The shifting of the planet has sparked a wave of happiness as zodiac enthusiasts are certain positivity is written in the stars for the next 20 years.
The last time that Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798.
During this time, the world experienced the French, American, Haitian, and Industrial Revolutions.
It was also the time of the Age of Enlightenment, which emphasized the importance of science and reason over faith and superstition.
This period of time was known for the many social hierarchies that were dismantled and the stark resistance against powers.
It also marked a period of great imagination, with the hot air balloon, sewing machine, smallpox vaccine and parachute all being invented.

The Simpsons voice actor Pamela Hayden has announced her retirement from the hit Fox sitcom after 35 years.
Hayden, who's credited for featuring in nearly 700 episodes of the long-running animated series, is best known as the voice behind Bart Simpson's bespectacled friend Milhouse Van Houten; however, she's also played dozens of other characters, including Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders and Malibu Stacy.

Jussie Smollett's conviction for his headline-grabbing hate crime hoax has been dismissed.
The Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday — in what WLS-TV said was a "surprising" 5-0 decision — ruled that an agreement between the former "Empire" actor and Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to drop criminal charges in exchange for a fine and community service should have stood.
It figures. It is Illinois.

The U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt on January 6 once fired his service weapon at fleeing vehicles near his home while his neighbor was in the line of fire, a congressional oversight committee reported.
Michael L. Byrd was promoted from lieutenant to captain in 2023 despite a "significant" history of referrals to the Capitol Police Office of Professional Responsibility, said U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.
The records of three disciplinary cases against Byrd are missing, according to Loudermilk. "This is disappointing, as the inability to locate these documents hinders the subcommittee from fulfilling its responsibility to conduct comprehensive oversight over the USCP," Loudermilk wrote in a Nov. 20 letter to Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger.

You might be willing to help someone learn French, but not if it means paying thousands of dollars and the person doesn't actually learn French.
Ottawa's politicians need to hear your message and cut spending at Rideau Hall and there's no better time than now.
Here's the latest ridiculous bill Governor General Mary Simon handed taxpayers: $34 000 for 228 hours of French lessons!
Let's be clear: it's fine if Mary Simon wants to learn French.
But there are two problems:
First, she decided to send you the bill, when she easily could have paid for her lessons out of her $362,000 taxpayer-funded salary.
Second, Simon still can't say more than a few words in French. In fact, she avoids press events in French altogether.
It's gotten to the point where she had to cut short her recent visit to Quebec City because she could only say one sentence in French, according to media reports.
Billing taxpayers for 228 hours of lessons without showing any results is not good value for money.
And there's a long list of wasteful spending from the governor general's office: $71,000 for limousines in Iceland, $100,000 for airplane food on one trip, a $150,000/year lifetime pension and $117,000 in dry-cleaning.

The World's Longest Building Project in Manhattan: The "Big Bend" Skyscraper
(https://i.imgur.com/qLJzRPU.jpeg)
The Big Bend which is set to be constructed in Manhattan, New York, will become the world's longest building. This upcoming building will span 4,000 feet in a single continuous upside-down U shape as reported by The US Sun.
The unusual design of the building was created in order to circumvent the existing planning regulations that are very strict.
Currently, the real estate developers are taking advantage of a planning law that is in place. This law permits them to buy air rights from the surrounding buildings. Having its curved design, the "Big Bend" will be able to occupy more air space without necessarily having to incur additional costs for its overall height.
This innovative shape is quite an advantage in that it allows developers and constructors to build taller buildings on smaller plots. This therefore cuts down their overall costs.
Furthermore, it is also quite important to note that this building has been designed by the company Oiio in partnership with the designer Ioannis Oikonomou.
"In case we manage to bend our building structure, instead of bending the zoning rules of New York, it is undebatable that we will construct the most prestigious building in Manhattan", Oikonomou stated.

South Korea President Yoon declares martial law
(https://i.imgur.com/fLNlYjS.png)
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Tuesday declared martial law in an unannounced late night address broadcast live on YTN television, claiming he would eradicate "shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces".
He did not cite any specific threat from the nuclear-armed North, however, instead focusing on his domestic political opponents.
The surprise move sent shockwaves through the country, which had a series of authoritarian leaders early in its history but has been considered democratic since the 1980s. The Korean won was down sharply against the U.S. dollar.
Yoon said he had no choice but to resort to such a measure in order to safeguard free and constitutional order, saying opposition parties have taken hostage of the parliamentary process to throw the country into a crisis.
"I declare martial law to protect the free Republic of Korea from the threat of North Korean communist forces, to eradicate the despicable pro-North Korean anti-state forces that are plundering the freedom and happiness of our people, and to protect the free constitutional order," Yoon said.

President Yoon Suk Yeol withdrew a martial law order that had sparked chaotic scenes in Seoul.
The order created turmoil, drawing thousands of protesters to the gates outside the National Assembly.
Lawmakers - some scaling the parliament's perimeter walls - evaded police lines to gather and vote down the order, but the army said it would remain until revoked by the president himself.
Then in a sudden reversal in the early hours, Yoon Suk Yeol said martial law would be lifted and troops withdrawn.

Of course they let it happen. Has anyone ever wondered how it is that there just happened to be a film camera set up with a perfect framing of battleship row early on a Sunday morning just when the "sneak attack" happened?
We're all seen the famous film clips.
In 1941 it's not like you could take your phone out to video something. Film cameras were clumsy mechanical devices and not very portable back then.

Ousted Syrian leader Assad flees to Moscow after fall of Damascus
(https://i.imgur.com/4EmsFDqm.jpeg)
Ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad fled to Moscow and received asylum from his longtime ally, Russian media said Sunday, hours after a stunning rebel advance seized control of Damascus and ended his family's 50 years of iron rule.
Thousands of Syrians poured into streets echoing with celebratory gunfire and waved the revolutionary flag in scenes that recalled the early days of the Arab Spring uprising, before a brutal crackdown and the rise of an insurgency plunged the country into a nearly 14-year civil war.
The swiftly moving events raised questions about the future of the country and the wider region.
"Our approach has shifted the balance of power in the Middle East," President Joe Biden said, crediting action by the U.S. and its allies for weakening Syria's backers — Russia, Iran and Hezbollah. He called the fall of Assad a "fundamental act of justice" but also a "moment of risk and uncertainty," and said rebel groups are "saying the right things now" but the U.S. would assess their actions.

I walked into the bar next door to where I lived on that day and some dude had his head down on the bar and was crying like a baby. I walked over to him and said "Hey man! Are you OK?"
He said "John Lennon was shot!" and then started sobbing like a woman again.
I said, "I know. I heard it on the radio. Did you know him?"

New York Attorney General Letitia James is refusing to drop a nearly half-billion dollar judgment against President-elect Donald Trump despite his victory.
The day after Trump decisively beat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, James turned quite a few heads with a bizarre and cryptic speech vowing to "fight back" against the president-elect.
One prominent Trump legal ally was having none of James' tough talk — and gave it right back to her.
Attorney Mike Davis — founder of the Article III Project, which "defends constitutionalist judges and the rule of law" — blasted James during an appearance on "The Benny Show" podcast Thursday.
"Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York attorney general," Davis said. "I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term. Because listen here, sweetheart: We're not messing around this time. And we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights, and I promise you that."
Davis also warned James to "think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump's constitutional rights or any other American's constitutional rights. ... It's not gonna happen again."

The U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was recommended for termination in 2001 for abandoning his post in the Speaker's Office for a card game in a nearby cloakroom, then lying about it to Internal Affairs Division investigators.
The 2001 investigation of Michael L. Byrd, 56, was the first known disciplinary case brought against the lieutenant who crept from his blind near the doors to the Speaker's Lobby on Jan. 6, 2021, and shot Babbitt to death. The 2001 incident is the fourth such disciplinary case disclosed since Nov. 20.
A source with detailed knowledge of the Internal Affairs Division case told Blaze News that Byrd was charged with abandoning his post, eating and drinking at his post, and lying to investigators — a terminable offense. It is one of three Byrd disciplinary cases for which records could not be found when a House oversight subcommittee requested them in early 2024, the source said.
The USCP disciplinary officer recommended that Byrd be fired.
"So they charge him with eating, drinking on post, abandoning post," the source said. "They charge him with untruthful statements with the recommendation to terminate."
Even with the evidence and firing recommendation, Capitol Police administration did not part ways with Byrd.
"He ends up getting into some trouble, but they won't terminate him," the source said. "So therefore they didn't want to move forward with the untruthful statements [charge], but that was still a sustained charge against him."
The source questioned how records of the 2001 case and two other disciplinary cases brought against Byrd could be "missing," as congressional investigators were told by the USCP in early 2024. There are too many intersecting emails and memos outside Byrd's internal-affairs jackasset for the record to be fully missing, the source said.
"That would've been documented so many different ways that it'd be impossible for them not to have it," the source said.
Concerns about promotion
As more details of Byrd's work history emerge, a key Republican lawmaker expressed reservations about Byrd's 2023 promotion to captain.
"I have concerns about this decision, given Byrd's lengthy disciplinary history and the apparent political influence of internal operational decisions related to Byrd following January 6, 2021," U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) wrote in a Nov. 20 letter to Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger.
Revelation of Byrd's 2001 disciplinary case comes as congressional investigators disclosed the lengths Democrat lawmakers and Capitol Police went to after Jan. 6 to provide Byrd with income, security upgrades at his Maryland home, and months of free lodging at a secure military hotel at Joint Base Andrews in Prince George's County, Md.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday that hundreds of National Guard members have been deployed to patrol the New York City subway system this holiday season.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Hochul confirmed that 750 National Guard members and 250 members of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Police were recently sent to guard New York City train stations.
The decision comes as New York City officials continue to fight violent crime in the Big Apple. Earlier in December, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) report found that, in New York City alone, there are 58,000 illegal migrants who are convicted of or facing criminal charges.
Of the 58,626 criminal migrants, 1,153 are "suspected or known gang members," the report added.

The two companies said they had signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday and that smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors Corp. also had agreed to join the talks on integrating their businesses.
Together, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi would gain scale to compete with Toyota Motor Corp. and with Germany's Volkswagen AG. Toyota has technology partnerships with Japan's Mazda Motor Corp. and Subaru Corp.

Witnesses indicated that the New Orleans attacker was flying a large black flag from his truck at the time of the attack, which would be consistent with a description of the ISIS flag. The FBI has since confirmed that the flag was, indeed, an ISIS flag, leading many to harshly criticize the FBI's initial response to the attack, which flatly denied any connection to terrorism.

Matthew Livelsberger claimed to be a part of a cover-up of war crimes in Afghanistan.
The U.S. special operations soldier who allegedly detonated explosives inside a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Las Vegas Trump Hotel had reportedly emailed a bizarre message about the drones over New Jersey and other esoteric topics.
The U.S. Army confirmed that Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger was on leave when he reportedly died in the explosion on New Year's Day. On Friday, an email attributed to Livelsberger appeared on social media and revealed his thoughts just days before the incident.
"What we have been seeing with 'drones' is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the east coast, but throughout history, the US," he continued. "Only we and China have this capability. Our OPEN location for this activity in the box is below. China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon ..."
Livelsberger went on to call the drones the "most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed."
He claimed that either the FBI or Homeland Security had been following him and digitally tracking him.
"I have knowledge of this program and also war crimes that were covered up during airstrikes in Nimruz province Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DoD, DEA and CIA. I conducted targeting for these strikes of over 125 buildings (65 were struck because of [civilian casualties]) that killed hundreds of civilians in a single day," the email read.
He claimed that he was part of a cover-up of the supposed war crimes and enumerated military leaders whom he worked under.

I've no doubt we smoked innocents without regard but I dont GAF. In fact, I'm for it. I only wish we would have exterminated civilization throughout the M.E. after 911. No mosque should have been left standing on the planet.
However, we tell our troops we are only killing "bad guys" so when others get smoked, it fucks up their minds and they go haywire and do shit like this. It would be far better to tell them all that we're gonna smoke all these dune coons indiscriminately and pick the properly suited minds to carry it out.
Personally, I'm a big fan of Attila The Hun. He was the king of FA/FO. If we had a leader like him when 911 happened, there wouldnt be a single muhzie left alive in America or the world. Mecca, pig shit be upon it, would have been instantly vaporized.

Dana White was announced as one of three new members to Meta's board of directors as founder Mark Zuckerberg claims the company will move away from fact-checking and censorship.
The UFC president was announced alongside Stellantis and Ferrari Chairman John Elkann and Charlie Songhurst, former general manager and head of global corporate strategy at Microsoft.
"I love social media. And I'm excited to be a small part of the future of AI and emerging technologies," White wrote on his X page.
The new additions to Meta's board came just a day before Zuckerberg announced a massive shift in policy, signaling a desire — if you believe him — to decrease political censorship.
Zuckerberg spoke in a video about getting back to his company's "roots around free expression."
The Facebook founder said his company would be getting rid of fact-checkers, replaced by "community notes similar to X."
Second, Zuckerberg said Meta would "simplify" its content policies and "get rid of a bunch of restrictions" on topics like immigration and gender.
"What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas and it's gone too far. So I wanna make sure that people can share their beliefs and experiences on our platforms," he explained.
Zuckerberg said he planned on working with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that attempt to pressure American companies into censorship.
"We're bringing back civic content," Zuckerberg announced. "For a while, the community asked to see less because it was making people stressed," he claimed.

Meta's new community standards for hateful conduct will allow criticisms of the mental state of those claiming to be transgender.
The rule changes come after founder Mark Zuckerberg announced sweeping changes to Meta's approach to moderation, saying the company had reached a point where there have been too many mistakes that resulted in "censorship."

A Rare Alignment of Planets Is About to Take Place in The Sky
(https://i.imgur.com/YQT2Wrp.jpeg)
A very rare treat is about to grace Earth's night skies.
On 21 January 2025, six of the seven other planets will appear in the sky at once in a large alignment – Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn, with the exception of Mercury.
Then on the evening of 28 February 2025, all seven of the other planets in the Solar System will appear in the night sky at the same time, with Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars all lining up in a neat row – a magnificent sky feast for the eyes known as a great planetary alignment.
It's not uncommon for a few planets to be on the same side of the Sun at the same time, but it's less common for most, or even all of the planets to align.
Any number of planets from three to eight constitutes an alignment. Five or six planets assembling is known as a large alignment, with five-planet alignments significantly more frequent than six.
Seven-planet great alignments are, of course, the rarest of all.
Whether you will be able to see the alignments, at what time the planets rise and set, and in which order, depends on where in the world you're viewing from.

Are the Obamas getting divorced?
Michelle Obama's absence from recent public events, notably former President Jimmy Carter's funeral on January 9, has sparked speculation regarding her marriage to Barack Obama. The former president attended Carter's funeral by himself. Adding to the speculation, news emerged that Michelle would also be skipping Donald Trump's second inauguration, scheduled for next week. Social media concerns heightened, with users speculating about a potential divorce after 32 years of marriage.
"An Obama divorce wasn't on my 2025 predictions list, but it might just happen," one user wrote on X.
Another commented, "It seems like an Obama divorce is looming; we've all noticed they're not attending events together anymore."
A third user asserted, "Michelle and Obama are estranged. They're heading for a divorce. She doesn't want to be around him."
Barack Obama attempted to quash these rumors with a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating Michelle's 61st birthday on Friday -
(https://i.imgur.com/sAJlIxL.png)
Yet, some social media users remained skeptical, suggesting it was merely a political tactic to quell the rumors.
"I wish you all the best..but to post a photo where you two are so far apart and kind of fake smiling, might indicate that the divorce rumors are true...does anyone agree?" one person wrote.
Another claimed, "Are you two separated, her smile looks fake."
The couple was last seen together publicly in mid-December, over a month ago, when they dined out in Los Angeles.

Can You Read This Cursive Handwriting? The National Archives Wants Your Help
(https://i.imgur.com/poZQ5Ih.png)
The National Archives is brimming with historical documents written in cursive, including some that date back more than 200 years. But these texts can be difficult to read and understand— particularly for Americans who never learned cursive in school.
That's why the National Archives is looking for volunteers who can help transcribe and organize its many handwritten records: The goal of the Citizen Archivist program is to help "unlock history" by making digital documents more accessible, according to the project's website.
Getting started is easy: All you need to do is sign up at
https://www.archives.gov/citizen-archivist
The free program is open to anyone with an internet connection.
"There's no application," Suzanne Isaacs, a community manager with the National Archives, tells USA Today's Elizabeth Weise. "You just pick a record that hasn't been done and read the instructions. It's easy to do for a half hour a day or a week."

Argentinian President Javier Milei addressed the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. In addition to addressing Argentina's stunning economic recovery, he spent time eviscerating the World Economic forum for it's "barbarity" in radically enforcing its global woke agenda.
Milei started his case by eviscerating European leaders for destroying the foundations of Western civilization in favor of mass immigration:
Since the West is supposedly the root cause of all of the world's evils in history, it must redeem itself by opening its borders to everyone, which leads to a form of reverse colonization that resembles collective suicide.
So, this is how we now see images of hordes of immigrants who abuse, assault, or even kill European citizens, whose only sin was not adhering to a particular religion. But when someone questions these situations, they are immediately labeled racists, xenophobic or even Nazis.
After calling out the WEF member institutions in particular for their embrace of radical sexual perversions and identities, he went straight at the government of the United Kingdom.
Milei said:
Is it not true that right now, as we speak, in the U.K. citizens are being imprisoned for exposing horrifying crimes committed by Muslim migrants, crimes that the government seeks to conceal? Or didn't the bureaucrats in Brussels suspend Romania's elections simply because they didn't like the party that had won?

An Indiana man was shot and killed by a member of law enforcement just days after President Donald Trump pardoned his conviction related to the melee at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
At around 4:15 p.m. on Monday, 42-year-old Matthew Huttle of Hobart was pulled over by a sheriff's deputy of Jasper County, located in the northwestern part of Indiana less than an hour south of Gary. The reason for the traffic stop is unclear, but it seems that tensions escalated quickly when the deputy attempted to place Huttle under arrest.
In 2023, Matthew Huttle pled guilty to a single misdemeanor count related to entering a restricted building. He was sentenced to six months in federal prison plus a year of supervised release.

A refugee in Minnesota who once received an award from the Walz administration has pled guilty for participating in the largest known COVID-related scam in America.
On Friday, 43-year-old Ayan Farah Abukar, who lives just outside Minneapolis in Savage, Minnesota, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with the Feeding Our Future case.
Following the COVID pandemic, the Minnesota Department of Education began allocating federal resources from the Federal Child Nutrition Program to the organizations Feeding Our Future and Partners in Quality Care, with the expectation that the organizations would use the money to help Minnesota children in need, the Sahan Journal explained.
Abukar became involved through the organization she founded, Action for East African People. As executive director, Abukar partnered Action for East African People with Feeding Our Future and another group identified only as Sponsor A in the DOJ press release.
Unfortunately, Abukar and her fellow co-defendants apparently did not follow the federal directives regarding the money. "The defendants exploited changes in the program intended to ensure underserved children received adequate nutrition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than feed children, the defendants enriched themselves by fraudulently misappropriating millions of dollars in Federal Child Nutrition Program funds," the press release said.
According to the press release, Abukar spent two years boasting that she was feeding a total of 5,000 children a day in Bloomington, Minneapolis, Savage, and St. Paul, when in fact she was pocketing $5.7 million in misappropriated funds from the Child Nutrition Program and in turn paying a program employee $330,000 in kickbacks. She then used the money to splurge on luxury items like a 37-acre property in Minnesota and an aircraft in Kenya.

Aformer official at the Federal Reserve has been arrested in connection with an alleged plot to funnel U.S. economic secrets to the People's Republic of China.
John Rogers, 63, of Vienna, Virginia, first joined the Division of International Finance at the Federal Reserve Board in 2010. As a senior adviser with a Ph.D. in economics, Rogers had access to a wide range of sensitive economic information, including proprietary data, plans to target China with tariffs, briefing books for FRB governors, and Federal Open Market Committee deliberations, according to a DOJ press release.

100,000 eggs stolen from distribution trailer in Pennsylvania
(https://media2.giphy.com/media/LRUWbBT39A8Z5UiE67/200w.gif)
About 100,000 eggs were stolen from the back of a tractor-trailer at a distribution site for Pete and Gerry's in Pennsylvania.
The theft happened on Saturday around 8:40 p.m. at the company's location in Greencastle, according to a report from Pennsylvania State Police.
Officials said the current retail value for that amount of eggs is approximately $40,000.
According to a statement provided to NBC News, Pete and Gerry's said it was "aware of the recent incident" and was "actively working with local law enforcement to investigate."
This comes as the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicted egg prices may reach a record high this year.

The move was announced in the Canada Gazette, the federal government newspaper.
It says the appointment was terminated by an ordinance signed by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon on Jan. 3.
The move comes after a CBC report in 2023 questioned Sainte-Marie's Indigenous heritage, saying it found a birth certificate that indicated she was born in 1941 in Massachusetts.
Family members in the U.S. told CBC that Sainte-Marie was not adopted and doesn't have Indigenous ancestry.
Sainte-Marie's Indigenous culture was a central part of her identity as she rose to fame in the 1960s, and she was won awards including multiple Junos and the Polaris Music Prize in 2015.

Breakthrough as Oxford scientists say they've achieved teleportation
(https://media3.giphy.com/media/KG4QqMjxnGNUn5EywS/200.gif)
Scientist claim they achieved a massive breakthrough in teleportation by beaming data between quantum computers.
Researchers at the University of Oxford successfully teleported logical gates - the basic components of a computer algorithm - between two quantum processors separated by more than six feet.
Using particles of light (or photons), the scientists were able to form a shared quantum link between the two separate devices. This allowed two processors to work remotely, sharing the same algorithm to complete their computing tasks.
The breakthrough may solve the 'scalability problem' that has plagued the construction of usable quantum computers.
Currently, however, a single computer capable of processing millions of qubits would need to be gigantic in size - making them impossible for most people to have. The new breakthrough changes all that, allowing scientists to move data between a series of smaller devices - instead of building one enormous machine.

Men Face $1,000 Fine if They 'Discharge Semen' Under New Bill
(https://i.imgur.com/ymsLCDU.gif)
A bill proposed to the Ohio statehouse will make male ejaculation without intent to have a baby a fineable offense of up to $10,000.
The bill has been proposed by State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, who wrote it to point out what they see as the absurdity of rules that control women's bodies but do not control men's. It has not been formally introduced to the House Floor yet.
Per Somani and Rader, men would face a $1,000 first offense, $5,000 second offense, and $10,000 subsequent offense fine to "discharge semen or genetic material without intent to fertilize an embryo."
However, some state lawmakers such as Republican state Representative Austin Beigel, are trying to reverse this vote by introducing a bill called the Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act. Beigel has called the "Conception Begins at Erection" bill "beyond ridiculous," per News 5 Cleveland.
Somani and Rader say that is the point. They are trying to point out the "ridiculous" double standard when it comes to male and female roles in pregnancy.
They believe that if women are being arrested, and in three cases in Texas, dying, due to restrictive abortion laws, then legislatures should bring up bills to make men legally responsible for their role in conception as well.

Quote from: Oliver the Second on February 12, 2025, 09:44:03 PMMen Face $1,000 Fine if They 'Discharge Semen' Under New Bill
(https://i.imgur.com/ymsLCDU.gif)
A bill proposed to the Ohio statehouse will make male ejaculation without intent to have a baby a fineable offense of up to $10,000.
The bill has been proposed by State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, who wrote it to point out what they see as the absurdity of rules that control women's bodies but do not control men's. It has not been formally introduced to the House Floor yet.
Per Somani and Rader, men would face a $1,000 first offense, $5,000 second offense, and $10,000 subsequent offense fine to "discharge semen or genetic material without intent to fertilize an embryo."
However, some state lawmakers such as Republican state Representative Austin Beigel, are trying to reverse this vote by introducing a bill called the Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act. Beigel has called the "Conception Begins at Erection" bill "beyond ridiculous," per News 5 Cleveland.
Somani and Rader say that is the point. They are trying to point out the "ridiculous" double standard when it comes to male and female roles in pregnancy.
They believe that if women are being arrested, and in three cases in Texas, dying, due to restrictive abortion laws, then legislatures should bring up bills to make men legally responsible for their role in conception as well.

This is good I think.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the dye known as Red 3 from the nation's food supply in January, setting deadlines for stripping the brightly hued additive from candies and cough syrup, baked goods and frozen treats.
The agency said it was taking the action because studies found that the dye, also known as erythrosine, caused cancer in lab rats. A federal statute requires FDA to ban any additive found to cause cancer in animals, though officials stressed that the way Red 3 leads to cancer in rats doesn't happen in people.

An arm of the Presbyterian Church in America, is repenting for posting guidance to help illegal immigrants elude detainment.
Last week, Mission to North America — a resource and mission arm of the PCA — received intense backlash on social media after people noticed a page on its website dedicated to assisting illegal immigrants to dodge authorities and immigration enforcement.
In an FAQ section of the since-deleted resource page, the MNA advised illegal immigrants "not to carry documentation showing your country of origin" and, if contacted by immigration authorities, to "show an identity document that does not include your country of birth or citizenship."
The page even coached immigrants on how to decrease their chances of being deported if detained.
"If you were granted parole or have been in the U.S. for less than two years and you fear returning to your home country, tell the officer you are afraid to go back," the page said. "You should get a Credible Fear Interview as a result. If the officer denies your Credible Fear Interview, ask for the chance for an immigration judge to review your fear."

An investment group led by Elon Musk has offered $97.4 billion to buy the nonprofit that controls OpenAI, a company Musk help found.
OpenAI was founded by Musk and entrepreneur Sam Altman as a nonprofit in 2015, but is now looking to transition to for-profit, which Musk opposes for cybersecurity reasons.
"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was," Musk said in a statement on February 10, per Reuters.
Musk added, "We will make sure that happens."

Apple is committing $500 billion to the U.S. economy in a historic initiative, the company announced on Monday, marking "an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation."
Apple's 11-figure commitment will roll out over the next five years. It will involve building an advanced AI server manufacturing factory near Houston, as well as doubling the company's Advanced Manufacturing Fund from $5 billion to $10 billion.
The tech giant also plans to establish an Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit, as well as hire 20,000 new employees with focuses on research and development, silicon engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Apple also plans to expand teams and facilities in numerous states, including Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina and Washington. In a statement, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that his company is "bullish on the future of American innovation."
The announcement comes two days after President Donald Trump alluded to the tech giant's plans, saying that the company planned to invest "hundreds of billions of dollars" in the United States.

Wayne Gretzky is getting shit on by the prog media in Canada because he supported a Trump and held a victory party for him.
Another hockey legend, Bobby Orr wrote an opinion in the Toronto Sun calling Gretzky one of 'the greatest Canadians ever' and criticized those attacking him.
"Listen, we all have our personal beliefs as they pertain to things such as religion and politics," Orr wrote. "Wayne respects your right to such beliefs — why can't you respect his?'"

Group plans targeted boycotts against major companies
(https://i.imgur.com/6jrOAFjm.jpeg)
A nationwide consumer boycott is planned for Friday, Feb. 28. The "economic blackout" is in response to big name retailers rolling back their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and President Donald Trump's efforts to eliminate federal DEI programs.
In an effort to combat "corporate greed," people are encouraged to avoid shopping at major retailers, purchasing gas, eating at fast food restaurants, and using their credit or debit cards. The movement is calling on people to shop and eat local instead and to use cash.
John Schwarz, also known as TheOneCalledJai on social media, is the founder of the People's Union USA - a grassroots movement "dedicated to economic resistance, government accountability and corporate reform."
Specific business being targeted during the blackout include Walmart, Target and Amazon— all major corporations who have rolled back dei initiatives due to mounting political pressures.
"The idea that companies and institutions should abandon diversity and inclusivity is regressive and unacceptable," reads a statement on the People's Union USA website.

Hunter Biden was forced to drop a lawsuit because of his financial woes, and critics on social media pounced to connect it to his father leaving the Oval Office.
Biden's paintings had been selling for up to $75,000 each when his father was in office, but he admitted in a legal filing that he had run out of money for a defamation lawsuit because he could no longer sell the paintings.
Critics alleged that the paintings were a way for the Biden family to trade political favors in return for technically legal payments to the former president's son. In one case, a businessman who reportedly purchased at least one of Biden's paintings was later named by the former president to the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad.
'The scam was simple. Hunter promised Joe's power, Joe Biden showed up, and millions of dollars went into the Bidens' pockets. The grift is over.'
Biden has been in a legal fight over paying child support to Lunden Roberts, a former stripper he reportedly met at a Washington, D.C., strip club and impregnated. In 2023, a judge said that Roberts could have one of Biden's paintings as part of the child support agreement and that the child they share could choose the painting.

The current administration picked up that ball and is running with it; there will be more arrests and other punitive measures targeting protesters and outspoken critics simply to protect Israel and its settler-colonial project.

To be clear, there is no genocide of "Palestinians." Look up genocide. What is happening in Gaza isn't genocide, it's collateral damage resulting from war. Save the narrative of the group calling themselves "Palestinians", it doesn't stand against the test of history should anyone care to check. The notion of Palestine as a country is about 60 years old, having been invented in 1964. Since that time lies have become truth to some. Nevertheless, they are still lies.

Quote from: formosan on March 12, 2025, 12:19:54 PMI think protests should be against a country's own government instead of a foreign one..
In this case it's probably that the local government is aiding and abetting the crimes of the foreign government so protesting one is basically also protesting the other. Not to mention protesting war crimes no matter where they're occurring isn't a bad thing and even more important if our own governments are supporting/enabling them.

Agrand jury in Oklahoma indicted Robert Morris, founding pastor of the popular Texas-based Gateway Church, on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child. The Wednesday indictment concerns alleged sexual abuse that dates back to the 1980s.
Cindy Clemishire, the victim by Morris' own admission, expressed relief that after four decades, the former pastor might finally have to answer for his alleged crimes.
"There can be no tolerance for those who sexually prey on children," Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said in a statement. "This case is all the more despicable because the alleged perpetrator was a pastor who exploited his position. The victim in this case has waited far too many years for justice to be done."
The victim was a twelve year old girl.

A United Airlines flight from California to China was forced to turn around mid-flight because the pilot made the egregious mistake of forgetting to bring his passport, according to reports.
A United Airlines flight departed from Los Angeles International Airport just before 2 p.m. on Saturday. United Flight UA 198 was flying from LAX to Shanghai, China.
However, the pilot reportedly realized that he had forgotten to bring his passport on the international flight to China.
Radar shows the airliner traveling over the Pacific Ocean before making a U-turn and flying back to California.
Two hours into the flight, the plane had to turn around and divert to the San Francisco International Airport, according to CNN.
An alleged passenger reportedly said on the Chinese social networking platform Rednote, "How could someone mess up this badly at work?"
Shukor Yusof — founder of Singapore-based Endau Analytics, an advisory company for the aviation industry — called the "absent-mindedness" mistake "embarrassing" and "unacceptable" for a prominent international airline like United Airlines, adding that it "shows a lack of discipline."

Ford Motor Co. announced on Thursday that it will extend its employee pricing to all shoppers in the wake of widespread tariffs that were announced by President Donald Trump, including 25 percent duties on foreign-made cars that went into effect on Thursday.
Framing its announcement as a way to mitigate "uncertain times for many Americans," Ford said that it's opening its "employee pricing to all U.S. customers, giving them access to significant savings on a wide range of 2024 and 2025 gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and diesel Ford and Lincoln vehicles."
However, Ford's pricing change excludes Ford Raptor models, specialty Bronco and Mustang models, its 2025 Expedition and Navigator SUVs, and its Super Duty trucks.

It's all part of the plan.
Do you remember the Disney CEO stating that it didn't matter how much they lost as long as they were "getting the message out" ?
Now think back a few decades - Disney was one of the biggest American icons known to most everyone on the planet. It was clean, wholesome, family-oriented entertainment you could set your kids down to watch without worrying about what they were going to see. And when summer rolled around Disneyland and Disney World were top vacation destinations for millions. They had an exceptionally good public image.

Do you remember the Disney CEO stating that it didn't matter how much they lost as long as they were "getting the message out" ?
Now think back a few decades - Disney was one of the biggest American icons known to most everyone on the planet. It was clean, wholesome, family-oriented entertainment you could set your kids down to watch without worrying about what they were going to see. And when summer rolled around Disneyland and Disney World were top vacation destinations for millions. They had an exceptionally good public image.

Kameltoe Harris is reportedly plotting to open an institute of "policy and ideas," and many of her critics on social media enjoyed mocking the plan.
According to a report in the New York Times, a close Harris ally has reached out to several universities, including Howard University and Stanford University, in an effort to establish the center of "policy and ideas."
Predictably, the scheme was ridiculed relentlessly on social media.
"The Kamala Harris institute for kids who can't policy and ideas good and wanna learn to do other stuff good too," joked podcaster Noah Blum, paraphrasing a line from the movie "Zoolander."
"The Kamala Harris Center for the Unburdening of What Has Been should provide a bottomless well of material," responded writer Doug Powers.
"An Institute for People Who Institute Things that Are Institutable," replied creator Dan Goldwasser.
"The Kamala D. Harris Institute for Examining the Importance of Understanding What Needs to Be Done," quipped Andrew Stiles of the Free Beacon.
"Whoever at the NYT is portraying Kamala Harris as an intellect with the ability to articulate complex issues is the biggest shill for the Dems. That could be anyone at the NYT," said another critic.

Sperm racing coming to Los Angeles
(https://i.imgur.com/mmpeLnF.gif)
A startup recently announced the launch of the world's first live sperm race, and you will be able to watch its inaugural edition right here in Los Angeles.
According to commercial real estate media outlet Traded, the startup – known simply as Sperm Racing – recently raised $1 million in support of their efforts to put on the world's first sperm race. The Sperm Racing website's "manifesto" cites a worldwide decline in male fertility as the catalyst for the idea.
"Male fertility is declining. Like, a lot," the "manifesto" states. "It's happening quietly, steadily and nobody's really talking about it." Thus, to raise awareness of the alarming trend, the founders are turning health into a sport.
"If you can train for sports [by spending] hours perfecting your form and pushing your body to its limits, then why can't you train your health, too?" the website continues. "Why can't you measure it, improve it and compete in it?"
Now, you might be wondering how exactly a sperm race works. Well, the founders laid it out:
First, a microscopic racetrack for the two sperm samples to compete on will be constructed. The course mimics reproductive system and includes chemical signals, fluid dynamics and synchronized starts.
Every move that the sperm makes is tracked by high-resolution cameras and livestreamed. There will even be stats, leaderboards and, yes, instant replays.
The race itself is exactly like any other: the first sperm to cross the finish line wins.
"We're turning it into a spectacle," Sperm Racing said. "Think press conferences, weigh-ins, live-streamed races with play-by-play commentary. And of course, betting," the website added.
That's right. The founders of Sperm Racing are creating a market where fans can pick their favorite competitors and wager on winners.
The world's first-ever sperm race will take place on April 25 in a USC against UCLA-style battle. Tickets go on sale at noon on Monday.

The U.S. Department of Education on Monday froze more than $2 billion in federal funding for Harvard University, just hours after the school rejected President Donald Trump's demands that it make deep policy changes on diversity.
A Department of Education task force on combating antisemitism said in a statement that it was freezing $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60 million in multi-year contract value to Harvard University.
The issue of antisemitism on campus erupted before Trump took office for his second term, following pro-Palestinian student protests last year at several universities following the 2023 Hamas attack inside Israel and the subsequent Israeli attacks on Gaza.
White House spokesman Harrison Fields said in a statement on Monday that Trump was "working to Make Higher Education Great Again by ending unchecked anti-Semitism and ensuring federal taxpayer dollars do not fund Harvard's support of dangerous racial discrimination or racially motivated violence."

Google held a monopoly in online ad tech, U.S. judge finds
(https://i.imgur.com/nW9yavK.jpeg)
In another major legal blow to Google, a federal judge on Thursday ruled that the search giant held an illegal monopoly over some advertising technology.
Judge Leonie Brinkema of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia said in a ruling that Google illegally maintained and acquired a monopoly in two markets for advertising technology — publisher ad servers and the market for ad exchanges.
But in a partial win for Google, antitrust enforcers failed to prove that the company held a monopoly in advertiser ad networks, the judge found.
The highly watched decision could reshape the online advertising business that website publishers rely on to fund the creation of content. It underscores how the U.S. government has been trying to rein in the power of Big Tech, which collects a trove of data of its users to fuel its advertising businesses.
Google's latest legal hurdle comes after it lost a separate case in August in which a judge ruled that Google maintained a monopoly in online search.

White House Converts Its COVID Website Into Dossier of Pandemic Crimes — Exposes Fauci, Lab Leak, Lockdowns, Mask Mandates and Industrial Censorship
(https://i.imgur.com/a5swjsHm.jpeg)
The White House is seeking to right the wrongs of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The website COVID.gov, launched by the U.S. federal government under the previous Trump administration, was originally a page dedicated to providing COVID-19 information and resources.
Its primary purpose was to provide the public with access to tools and guidance related to COVID-19 prevention, testing, treatment, and updates.
However, the website has now been converted into a page exposing the countless crimes that took place during the pandemic.
The first point of order is "The True Origins of Covid-19," which details how the virus actually escaped from the Wuhan Lab as part of gain-of-function research.

One dead after protests against KFC branches in Pakistan
(https://i.imgur.com/5xbIzsjm.png)
Police in Pakistan have made dozens of arrests following a string of protests targeting KFC branches across the country which led to one man being killed.
Protesters, angry at the war in Gaza, have been urging a boycott of the chain, claiming it's a symbol of the United States and its ally Israel.
At least 20 attempted attacks on KFC outlets have been recorded across the country in the past week, Pakistan's Minister of State for the Interior Talal Chaudhry told the BBC.
Videos on social media show mobs armed with iron rods entering KFC stores and threatening to burn them down before police arrive to arrest protesters. In Karachi, two stores were set on fire.

Either it was a cheap assed owner that only hired ghetto jigs or only ghetto jigs will work at KFC. Either way, they got so fucking bad on service and cleanliness, they all had to close. There used to be at least 3 if not 4 once upon a time.
Wendys just about got as bad. I went there several times and the fucking dope smell was so bad, I was concerned about how the food was prepped. A white crack whore with tatts all over and reeking of dope waited on me. It was gross. Fucked up bunch of niggers in the back and I'm sure she was blowin every one of them.

The daughter of Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz declared that if Jesus Christ were living in the United States today, President Donald Trump's administration would claim he was part of the deadly MS-13 gang and deport him.
Hope Walz, the 24-year-old daughter of Tim Walz, posted a controversial video on TikTok, where she alleged that the Trump administration would claim Jesus Christ was an MS-13 gang member as a way to deport him.
Walz seemed to be referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador and is suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang.
Democrats have been up in arms over Garcia's deportation, arguing that the alleged gang member wasn't provided with due process.
At a press conference at the White House earlier this month, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele proclaimed that he would not be returning Garcia.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a recent statement, "The mainstream media has peddled a sob story about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The facts are that he is an illegal alien from El Salvador, an MS-13 gang member, and has a history of violence."

Klaus Schwab indicated in an April 1 letter to the World Economic Forum's board of trustees and staff that he was stepping down as chairman of the technocratic globalist organization. The 87-year-old economist did not, however, appear to be in a rush.
The WEF told the Financial Times earlier this month that Schwab — who pushed vigorously in recent years for a "great reset" of capitalism — would complete his departure by January 2027. His exit has, however, come early.
Schwab announced Monday that he was stepping down immediately.

Agroup of high school girls in Oregon took a knee in protest of a male athlete who is consistently winning competitions as a female.
Sophia Carpenter said she and three other females forfeited a competition after learning they would be competing against a boy at the Therapeutic Associates Chehalem Classic.
The male, named "Liaa" Rose, won that competition with a jump of 4'10" that was enough to beat out the 18 girls he competed with.
The athlete allegedly posing as a female, Zachary Rose, who now goes by "Liaa" (or sometimes "Lia"). The boy is a student from Ida B. Wells High School in Portland, Oregon.
Earlier in April, Rose won varsity high jump at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays with a personal record. The second-place height was achieved by three different girls, two of whom were from Rose's high school.
Rose, while competing against boys in the junior varsity category in 2023, finished in last place in a competition of 11 boys. Rose appeared to have begun competing against girls in 2024.

Earlier in April, Rose won varsity high jump at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays with a personal record. The second-place height was achieved by three different girls, two of whom were from Rose's high school.
Rose, while competing against boys in the junior varsity category in 2023, finished in last place in a competition of 11 boys. Rose appeared to have begun competing against girls in 2024.
Girls and women should do this everytime!!!!

A19-year-old Kansas City man was arrested in Massachusetts last month in connection with the March 17 firebombing of the Missouri Tesla Center.
Owen McIntire, a University of Massachusetts physics student who returned home for spring break, allegedly tossed a pair of Molotov cocktails into the Kansas City dealership, damaging a pair of charging stations and two Cybertrucks, each valued at over $105,000. McIntire was slapped with federal criminal charges: one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and one count of malicious damage by fire of any property used in interstate commerce.
Despite protest from attorneys for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Missouri, a progressive Boston-based judge granted McIntire's petition for release from federal custody on April 24, partly to ensure that he could continue his sex change.

A"settlement in principle" has been reached in the $30 million federal wrongful death lawsuit by the estate of Ashli Babbitt against the federal government, two attorneys said in a hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., on Friday afternoon.
No terms were disclosed in a hastily called hearing before U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes. The hearing was scheduled to handle a motion from Terrell N. Roberts III, Babbitt's previous attorney, who on May 2 sought a restraining order and a lien for at least 25% of the gross amount of any settlement.
Judicial Watch filed the $30 million wrongful death lawsuit in January 2024, alleging the federal government bears responsibility for Ashli Babbitt's death during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd fatally shot Babbitt. The Biden administration later moved the case from San Diego to Washington, D.C., a change Judicial Watch has opposed.

A group of violent inmates, most of whom are in the U.S. illegally, reportedly went on a stabbing spree inside a Virginia prison, leaving multiple corrections officers injured.
Around 9:45 Friday morning, six inmates at Wallens Ridge State Prison, a super-max facility in Big Stone Gap in the southwestern region of the state, unleashed the attack on three prison guards, the Virginia Department of Corrections said. The agency described the incident as "premeditated."
All of the suspects have been locked up for violent offenses, including murder and rape. Five of the six are illegal aliens from El Salvador and confirmed members of MS-13, VADOC said

The year China joined the WTO, the U.S. imported $102 billion in goods from China. In 10 years that number has more than tripled to $365 billion.
The trade deficit with China suffered tremendously as well.
It tripled over the same period to $273 billion. Last year the deficit was $295 billion was by far our largest trade deficit with any nation.
Trump is the first president to do anything about this.

The bipartisan bill put forward by Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York, Laurel Lee of Florida and Greg Stanton of Arizona proposes to extend the time Canadian citizens can remain in the U.S. without a visa from 180 days to 240.
The Canadian Snowbird Visa Act, introduced at the end of April, would provide the longer time-frame for those aged 50 and over who both maintain a home in Canada and either own or lease a U.S. residence.

Physicists Turn Lead into Gold—For a Fraction of a Second
(https://i.imgur.com/Crj4pWM.png)
The dream of seventeenth-century alchemists has been realized by physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), who have turned lead into gold — albeit for only a fraction of a second and at tremendous cost.
The not-so-mysterious transmutation happened at CERN, Europe's particle-physics laboratory, near Geneva, Switzerland, where the multi-billion-dollar LHC smashes together ions of lead for a portion of each experimental run.
Early chemists hoped to turn abundant lead into precious gold. But differences in proton number between the elements (82 for lead and 79 for gold) made that impossible by chemical means.
CERN researchers achieved the feat by aiming beams of lead at each other, travelling at close to the speed of light. The ions occasionally glance past each other, rather than hit head on. When this happens, the intense electromagnetic field around an ion can create a pulse of energy that triggers an oncoming lead nucleus to eject three protons — turning it into gold.
CERN researchers have no plans to take up gold-making as a side hustle, but say that better understanding how photons can change nuclei will help them to improve the LHC's performance. "Understanding such processes is crucial for controlling beam quality and stability," says Jia.

Verizon announced in a filing with the Federal Communications Commission that it would be ending diversity, equity, and inclusion policies at the company Friday.
Many companies and corporations have ended DEI policies after the stunning 2024 election, when left-wing policies pushing woke programs were rejected by the voters. Verizon was seeking a deal to absorb another telecom company, but the FCC had cited discriminatory policies to oppose the purchase.

The top leaders of the Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed in a recent interview that the evidence in the suspicious death of sex offender billionaire Jeffrey Epstein pointed to a definitive conclusion.
While the circumstances of Epstein's death have led many to suspect that he was killed in order to protect those who were complicit in his alleged underage trafficking ring, FBI Director Kash Patel said the evidence supported the official explanation of suicide.
Patel made the admission while he and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino were being interviewed by Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business. Video of the interview aired on Sunday.
"You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide," said Bartiromo. "People don't believe it."
"They have a right to their opinion," Patel replied, "but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who's been in that prison system, who's been in the metropolitan detention center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that's what that was."
"He killed himself," Bongino agreed. "Again, I've seen the whole file. He killed himself."

Democratic Rep. Jesús "Chuy" García (Ill.) was among the many who rushed to condemn what the Israeli Foreign Ministry deemed a "brutal terrorist attack," stating, "My heart is with the victims, and everyone impacted by the attack. We mourn the lives lost and reject the idea that justice can be won through violence."
The New York Post highlighted a curious link between García and the alleged shooter, namely the Marxist suspect's father, Eric Rodriguez.
García announced on March 3 that his guest to President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress was Eric Rodriguez, "a constituent of the district, resident of West Lawn, disabled Army veteran, frontline VA worker, and union steward in the Service Employees International Union."
"Eric represents the very best of our community — someone who has served his country, continues to serve his fellow veterans, and fights every day to protect the dignity of working people," said García. "His presence at the Joint Address is a powerful statement: We will not sit back while veterans and workers are treated as political pawns."
When pressed about his night with the alleged killer's father, a spokesperson for the Democrat told the Post Thursday night, "Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President's Joint Speech to Congress, but we don't know his family."

AFlorida woman attacked a 72 year old Trump supporter wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, according to police. The woman also allegedly physically assaulted a police officer in the incident that occurred in a suburb of Tampa, Florida.
Laura Elizabeth Garrett, 33, was arrested by officers of the Largo Police Department on Tuesday night. Garrett was charged with battery on a person 65 years of age or older, battery on a police officer, and obstructing or resisting an officer without violence, according to Pinellas County Jail records.
Citing the arrest affidavit, WTVT reported that Garrett got into an argument with an elderly man wearing a MAGA hat around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday at a public park in Largo, Florida.
Garrett admitted to police that she had confronted the 72-year-old man because she wanted to question him about why he would support President Donald Trump, according to the arrest report cited by the television station.
The argument escalated, and the blue-haired woman reportedly dumped the liquid contents of a can on his head.
The alleged victim told investigators that Garrett hit him on the back of the head and shoulder area with the can, according to the arrest affidavit.

Two illegal immigrants have been arrested in a deadly jet ski hit-and-run crash in Texas over Memorial Day weekend that took the life of a teen Air Force recruit. The governor of Texas has called for the suspect to face the death penalty in the tragic case.
On Sunday, Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez — an illegal alien from Venezuela — struck and killed an 18-year-old woman, Ava Moore, on Lake Grapevine with a jet ski.
According to authorities, the 21-year-old Gonzalez was riding a jet ski when she mowed over Moore while she was kayaking on Lake Grapevine.
The jet ski was "traveling at a high rate of speed and dangerously close to other people in the water," according to a summary from the outlet. Witnesses allegedly told investigators that the victim attempted to paddle away from the speeding jet ski before she was violently struck from behind by the speeding personal watercraft.
The news outlet reported that Gonzalez fled the crime scene with fellow illegal alien — 21-year-old Maikel Coello Perozo. Meanwhile, the female passenger who was on the jet ski with Gonzalez remained at the scene and was interviewed by first responders, according to a statement from the Texas Game Wardens.
The pair drove away in a vehicle, then Perozo committed a hit-and-run after striking another car while attempting to leave the area, the Grapevine Police Department stated.

Chinese organized crime is fueling a $5 billion-per-year sex-trafficking empire in the United States, operating numerous illicit massage parlors where 75,000 victims are enslaved and traumatized.
This modern slavery crisis was the target of a nationwide operation on Thursday involving 18 states and more than 150 law enforcement agencies, Blaze News has learned.
Dan Nash, the founder of the Human Trafficking Training Center and a retired Missouri state trooper, coordinated the action, dubbed Operation Coast to Coast.
Thursday's sweep marked the third time Nash and HTTC launched the effort, which aimed to identify sex-trafficking victims, arrest traffickers, and share intelligence.
The joint mission raided illegal massage parlors and hotels, as well as targeted sex buyers. An Operation Coast to Coast press release noted that Chinese criminal organizations run the billion-dollar-per-year illicit industry.

Federal authorities arrested two Chinese nationals after they were accused of attempting to smuggle a potential bioweapon into the United States, claiming they wanted to use it to conduct research at the University of Michigan.
On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced charges against Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Zunyong Liu.
According to authorities, Liu arrived in the U.S. with a bag of fungus, Fusarium graminearum, which could be used as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon. The biological pathogen causes a devastating disease in wheat, barley, maize, and rice, the Detroit News reported.

Following two phone calls between U.S. President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Nikkei Asia has reported that Japan is "exploring support" for the United States' proposed "Golden Dome" project in the coming years. This potential cooperation comes in light of the global tariffs imposed by President Trump as well as a mutual ongoing commitment to promote a U.S.-Japan "golden age," according to a White House press briefing.

Montana has passed House Bill 350 (HB 350), officially banning the enforcement of policies or mandates from the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Economic Forum (WEF). This law boldly declares that these globalist entities "have no jurisdiction in this state."
The bill passed both chambers and was signed into law by Governor Greg Gianforte. This is a major step in rejecting international overreach and standing up for the Constitution.

2,000 National Guard troops to be sent to L.A. amid clashes over immigration raids
The Trump administration said it would send 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles after a second day in which protesters confronted immigration agents during raids of local businesses.
The move marks a major escalation in Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration and came amid concerns from some officials in California.
The Guard has been deployed to Los Angeles previously, but it has been during widespread civil unrest, including the upheaval associated with the 2020 protests following the murder of George Floyd, as well as the riots that occurred after the Rodney King verdict in 1992.
Los Angeles has seen several violent clashes during the recent immigration raids, but they have been limited to isolated areas including the Home Depot in Paramount, a location in L.A.'s fashion district and at the Civic Center.

Marlean Ames says that her employer discriminated against her because she is a straight woman, and she took her case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Ames filed a lawsuit accusing her employer, Department of Youth Services of Ohio, when a gay supervisor passed her over for a promotion and gave the job to a gay woman instead. She also claimed to have been demoted with a pay cut in favor of a gay man. She had worked for the department for over 20 years.
The Supreme Court ruling invalidates a standard set by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals that nonminorities must provide more evidence of discrimination than a member of a minority group.

700 Marines mobilizing to Los Angeles
Hundreds of U.S. Marines stationed at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms are being mobilized to Los Angeles.
Approximately 700 Marines are being activated to respond to the Los Angeles area after anti-ICE protests grew violent Sunday night, as originally reported by CNN and later confirmed to KTLA.
A senior official told Nexstar's NewsNation that 500 active-duty Marines would be deployed to L.A. to "help protect federal agents and buildings."
A release by the Department of Defense issued after that initial report confirmed that the number of Marines being deployed was even higher, with as many as 700 being mobilized to help federal agents in L.A.
"U.S. Northern Command has activated the Marine infantry battalion that was placed in an alert status over the weekend," the release from the U.S. Northern Command of the DoD reads. "2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division will seamlessly integrate with the Title 10 forces under Task Force 51 who are protecting federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area."
CNN Pentagon correspondent Natasha Bertrand described the move as a "significant escalation of the president's use of the military as a show of force against these protesters."

Federal authorities arrested another University of Michigan scholar from China this week, revealing an alarming pattern of potential national security threats.
Chengxuan Han is facing federal charges for attempting to smuggle biological material into the United States, according to a criminal case filed Monday and reviewed by the Detroit News.
Han is pursuing a doctorate at the College of Life Science and Technology in the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, and was invited to participate in a visiting scholar program at UM.
From September to March, while in China, she allegedly mailed four packages containing "biological material related to round worms" to the UM Professor Laboratory, according to prosecutors. The recipients of the packages were not named.
Interim U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon stated that Han obtained the biological materials from the Wuhan university.
On Sunday evening, Han arrived at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport after catching a flight from Shanghai.
An FBI agent claimed that Han, while undergoing secondary inspection at the airport, "made false statements that she had not sent packages to members of the UM Lab."
"When pressed, Han admitted that she had shipped packages to members of the UM Lab. Han initially stated to (Customs and Border Patrol) officers that the packages were plastic cups (rather than petri dishes) and a book (omitting the envelope with suspected biological materials concealed in it)," the FBI agent wrote.
During another interview with the FBI, Han "admitted to sending the packages, admitted that the packages contained biological material related to round worms, and admitted to making false statements to the CBP officers during her inspection," prosecutors' argued.
Han told federal authorities that the concealed or mis-manifested biological material included Nematode Growth Medium, a formulation used to cultivate microscopic roundworms, and plasmids, small and circular DNA molecules in bacteria and some microscopic organisms.
According to the FBI, Han claimed she sent one of the packages "as a 'game' with clues written above each plasmid."
Han also allegedly deleted the contents of her electronic device a few days before arriving in Michigan.
According to the complaint, "Han stated she deleted the content to 'start fresh' while she was in the United States."

As President Donald Trump's administration prepares a grand and patriotic 250th anniversary celebration for the U.S. Army, George Soros-funded progressive activists are plotting a meticulously organized counterprotest to politicize the military milestone.
The Indivisible Project, a progressive organization formed in 2016 to counter Trump, and its "pro-democracy partner organizations" announced in early May a nationwide effort to protest the Army's parade.
With thousands of events registered across the U.S., the demonstration, dubbed the "No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance," aims to steal the spotlight from the historic celebration.
Indivisible Project's most recent tax filings reveal that the group reported $12.6 million in revenue in 2023. Indivisible Civics, another 501(c)(3) under Indivisible's mission, reported $5.1 million in revenue in 2023. Combined, the two organizations have over $11 million in assets.
Further shattering Indivisible's "grassroots" claims, George Soros' Open Society Foundations has heavily funded the group, providing $7.2 million in grants since 2018, including $3 million in 2023.

Federal prosecutors are pressing charges against a South Carolina Republican lawmaker following a months-long investigation into heinous pornography allegedly depicting children as young as toddlers.
Republican state House Representative Robert John "R.J." May has been charged with a 10-count indictment for allegedly distributing child sexual abuse material. He was arrested on Wednesday after months of speculation surrounding the search of a house belonging to May in August 2024 by Homeland Security officers.

The average Social Security payment for retired workers reached $2,000 for the first time ever, according to a report released by the Social Security Administration (SSA) this week. The update comes as a new estimate found that the cost-of-living adjustment for payments is slated to increase to 2.5 percent.
This is nearly three times what the average payment is from the Canada Pension Plan(CPP).

Jennifer Boelter, 51, of Green Isle, Minn., was detained after police stopped the vehicle near Onamia, Minn. Police had been tracking the vehicle, television station KSTP reported. Three relatives of Boelter were also in the vehicle, the station said but did not elaborate.

A raid on a meatpacking facility in Nebraska led to nearly half of the workforce being apprehended by immigration agents.
Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha saw 107 of its employees targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agentsl; 70 eventually were detained by ICE regarding their immigration status.
Some of the illegal workers took extreme measures in an attempt to evade the sweep. One allegedly threatened federal agents.
Some of the meatpacking employees hid in rafters of the building, which is located in an industrial area. Other workers hid in walk-in freezers and required emergency medical assistance to check for any immediate safety concerns, NewsNation reported.
One man took it upon himself to allegedly threaten federal agents with box cutters when they attempted to remove him from a wall compartment into which he had apparently barricaded himself.
The man is now facing charges for assaulting a federal officer.

Quote from: Thiel on June 16, 2025, 01:17:02 PMWhy are meat packing plants among the biggest employers of undocumented foreign workers?IMO, its due in large part from pressures to keep food prices low. As a result, the work is low pay so no American will take the jobs. Its artificially low tho because of mexcrement, just like drywalling and other trades are now. DEPORT!
I bought a 1/2 beef 3 years ago that was butchered by mexcrements and it was terrible. They nicked bones and you had to be careful when eating the hamburger because of it. Never again! The last one we had processed by a small, rual, white owned family biz and its great. Of course the cows were ours too. This place plastic wraps the steaks before putting into freezer paper so freezer burn is a minimum. The hamburger is in plastic tubes so again, wont freezer burn anytime soon.
The downside to all of this illegals doing ANY jobs is the gubmints gives free health care and aid to these mexcrements anyway. May as well pay higher food prices on the FRONT side because its way cheaper in the end.

Far from being a pollutant, carbon dioxide is essential to life. It feeds plants, boosts crop yields, and promotes ecosystem health. NASA has credited rising CO2 levels with 70% of Earth's recent greening. More carbon dioxide, not less, helps feed the world.
Instead of obsessing over how to bury carbon, G7 leaders might do better to look around at the Canadian Rockies and ask why they're trying to deprive the planet of the gas that makes them so green in the first place.

A former Coast Guard officer has been arrested after he allegedly repeatedly fantasized on social media about assassinating President Donald Trump, court documents indicate.
On Monday, Peter Stinson of Oakton, Virginia, was arrested for allegedly making threats to kill the president. Court documents revealed a man apparently obsessed with Trump's death.
Stinson was a Coast Guard officer from 1988 until 2021, during which time he rose to the rank of lieutenant and received awards for his skill as a sharpshooter. He also conducted trainings for the FEMA Incident Command Systems, described as a series of courses designed to help first responders during disasters and emergencies.
Since at least April 2020, Stinson has allegedly been ranting wildly on social media about the urgent need to kill Trump, whom he often appeared to refer to using coded words like "orange." The following alleged social media posts are but a small fraction of the statements included in the criminal complaint against Stinson:
"The orange must go. At any cost."
"Somebody ought to do more than sue the orange mf's a**," adding, "It involves a rifle and a scope, but I can't talk about it here."
"Yes, I would pull the trigger. Would you?" he allegedly said in response to a post about Trump and his supporters.
"If we're planning murders, I'd like to suggest an orange one."

The Supreme Court has issued a major decision upholding Tennessee's ban on so-called gender-affirming care, such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, for minors. Its decision on June 18 will likely influence how states craft legislation and how other gender-related cases unfold in the legal system.
In the case United States v. Skrmetti, a majority of the justices disagreed with the Biden administration's argument that Tennessee's law should undergo more rigorous scrutiny in the courts. Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts said in his majority opinion that courts should apply a less rigorous standard known as rational basis, under which states have to show that their law is rationally related to a state interest.
The Tennessee law forbids all medical treatments intended to allow "a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex" or to treat "purported discomfort or distress from a [disagreement] between the minor's sex and asserted identity.

A UK judge said that barring job applicants from "hostile" countries from working in sensitive roles is not racist but necessary due to potential espionage risks.
It is not discriminatory to prevent individuals from nations such as China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran, which pose a threat to Britain, from taking certain jobs in the defense or security sector, an employment tribunal has ruled.
The ruling comes after a Chinese scientist, Tianlin Xu, accused a British artificial intelligence company, Binary AI, of racism, after she was not hired due to security concerns.

A New Jersey family trying to save their 175-year-old farm from being seized by a local government are getting support from the Trump administration.
The Cranbury city government announced its intention to seize the 21-acre farm through eminent domain in order to build low-income apartments, but the Henry family is resisting.
On Tuesday, Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins said the power of the federal government would intercede in the case on the side of the family.
"Whether the Maudes, the Henrys or others whom we will soon announce, the Biden-style government takeover of our family farms is over," she added. "While this particular case is a city eminent domain issue, we @usda are exploring every legal option to help."
Andy Henry says he has received many multimillion-dollar offers for the farm, but he has denied all of them.
"Didn't matter how much money we were offered," Henry said. "We saved the farm no matter what. We turned down all the offers to preserve the legacy for our family, city, and even state."

As a consortium of fans have urged the Los Dodgers to take a stand and support illegal immigrants living in their city, the team seemingly extended an olive branch to those supporters on Thursday.
The Dodgers were rumored to be planning an announcement on Thursday, finally revealing their support for illegal immigrants and anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests.
Protesters announced they were ready for mass mobilization in defiance of ICE agents just after 10 a.m. At about 11:30 a.m., DHS agents were spotted near Gate E of Dodger Stadium.
Just after 12 p.m. local time, the Dodgers posted on X, claiming they had denied ICE agents access to their parking lots.
"This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots," the team wrote. "They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight's game will be played as scheduled."
However, the DHS said ICE agents were never even there.

Carson Hocevar, currently the 20th-ranked driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, was preparing for the Viva Mexico 250 race in Mexico City and was livestreaming himself using a driving simulator to practice the track.
With the question from a viewer "are u a fan of the track" visible on screen, Hocevar began describing his experience in Mexico City, and it was his description of the lack of safety in the city that landed him in hot water.
Hocevar began by saying that if "the travel was better, if getting here was easier, if you felt safer getting to and from everywhere," it would be a much better experience — but he did not stop there. The driver unleashed even more descriptors of the trip that were holding him back from having a good time.
"If it wasn't such a s***hole, if the track limits were a little better enforced, if it was gonna be a little bit better of a race and it wasn't so easy or feel so locked down like you can't leave anywhere, it'd be a great experience. It'd be an absolutely great experience. If you take all those out, it's unbelievable."
Carson is now subject to "mandatory cultural-sensitivity and bias-awareness training," with the racing team citing the word "respect" written on their cars as a reason for the training.

This pisses me off.
Conman Carney and his government just voted to keep every last cent of benefits for the Governor General.
Here's what happened. Parliament held a vote to approve $22 million in operating funds for the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General for the rest of the fiscal year.
Bloc MP Christine Normandin formally submitted a motion of dissent, but she and her Bloc colleagues were the only ones to oppose the spending.
That funding covers a Rideau Hall package loaded with luxury: a salary over $350,000, $150,000 as an annual pension, and a $200,000-a-year for life expense account for former Governors General.
It also includes a mansion, full-time staff, international travel, and even a clothing allowance. All paid by taxpayers.
Carney rubber stamped the spending and the House of Commons went along with it.

An estimated 21.8 million senior citizens in America make ends meet solely using their social security funds, The Senior Citizens League (TSCL) said in a June 20 statement.
There are more than 68 million Social Security beneficiaries as of 2024, according to data from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
"Almost two-thirds of seniors who completed the survey said they were dissatisfied with the amount they receive from their monthly Social Security checks," said the TSCL statement.
These numbers mirror Canada.

A shocking plot from 10- and 11-year-old girls to murder a boy and then stage his death as a suicide was thwarted when another student overheard them, police say.
Details of the plot from the group of girls at the Legacy Traditional School's West Surprise campus in Surprise, Arizona, were released in a police report.
Police said the four girls planned the plot during a lunch and recess on Oct. 1, 2024. The student who overheard them reported the conversation to school officials.
The plot had a role for each of the girls. One was supposed to have forged the suicide note to make it appear that the boy had committed suicide. Another girl was tasked with bringing the knife to school. Another girl was supposed to act like a lookout while the last girl would commit the stabbing.

The new president of the International Olympic Committee has held her seat for just one week and is already making monumental moves.
As the head of the IOC, Kirsty Coventry wields tremendous power not only in the business world but in setting the tone worldwide for standards in sports.
After assuming office on June 23, the former Zimbabwean swimmer took questions in a nearly hour-long press conference, where she made one thing clear: The Olympic Committee is moving away from placating transgender athletes.
The 2024 Paris games were cloaked in shame after male Algerian athlete Imane Khelif competed and won gold in women's boxing, causing massive public outrage. Khelif has been proven to be a man four times over but was still allowed to compete after the IOC ended gender testing in 1999, punting the responsibility to individual sports bodies.
That status quo may be changing.

Western critics keep forecasting a shift away from fossil fuels. Reality keeps proving them wrong.
Hundreds of millions in the Yuxi Circle which contains seven percent of the world's surface and fifty five percent of the globe's population are still striving for what Westerners call a "decent life." That means refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioning — and with them, a dramatic spike in electricity demand.

For years, many have suspected that Harvard, America's oldest and most revered educational institution, has artificially tampered with the racial and gender makeup of its student body by denying admission to highly qualified white and Asian applicants in favor of members of other racial groups, even those with less impressive skills, test scores, and resumes.
Those suspicions were confirmed in 2023 when the Supreme Court determined that Harvard College and the University of North Carolina had violated the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by discriminating against Asian-American applicants in their undergraduate admission processes.

A 21-year-old man that was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., was identified as a congressional intern that had just begun working for a Republican House representative.
He was identified as Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, an intern who had recently joined the office of Republican Rep. Ron Estes of Kansas.

The Supreme Court limited nationwide injunctions, yet a judge persists in blocking Trump's deportation push.
Another district judge sought to block the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts by preventing the Department of Homeland Security from stripping Temporary Protected Status from over 500,000 immigrants, despite the administration's recent Supreme Court victory.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan in Brooklyn attempted to block the Trump administration's termination of TPS for Haitian nationals. He claimed that Noem "cannot reconsider Haiti's TPS designation in a way that takes effect before February 3, 2026, the expiration of the most recent previous extension."
"Plaintiffs are likely to (and, indeed, do) succeed on the merits. Secretary Noem's partial vacatur was in excess of her authority and was thus unlawful," Cogan wrote.
In response to Cogan's ruling, police analyst and Townhall columnist Phil Holloway noted that the "lawfare continues" against the Trump administration, which has faced numerous roadblocks from district judges.

On the third day of a union strike of municipal workers, garbage is piling up in Philadelphia, and some workers are resorting to threats and vandalism against residents who dare to break the strike.
The City of Philadelphia is negotiating with members of the AFSCME District Council 33 union, who are asking for a wage increase of 8% per year. The city has offered to increase wages by 7% over three years, which led to the worker strike beginning Tuesday.
Since then, residents are reporting that garbage is piling up and threatening their standard of living.
The city has set up dumpster locations, but union workers are demanding that residents respect the strike and ignore the garbage sites to pressure the city into caving to their demands.

A Washington sheriff has repeatedly vowed to defy the state's "unconstitutional" sanctuary laws to help ICE remove dangerous illegal aliens.
Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer, who describes himself as a "constitutional sheriff," stated that he would tell border czar Tom Homan to put him "on speed dial."
"You call me," Songer said in March. "We'll be there to assist ICE in a New York second. Because by doing that, we're protecting the citizens of our county."
He blamed the "Biden cartel" for "purposely" fueling the illegal immigration invasion by giving up on protecting the border.
"This is in my humble opinion: Those who will not help the federal government enforcing the immigration laws are unamerican," he remarked. "I would consider [them], [in] my personal opinion, enemies of the state."

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury in May on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of the law.
Dugan — who has been characterized by Democratic lawmakers both as a courtroom hero and as a victim of the Trump administration — is desperate to avoid going to trial for allegedly helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien from Mexico charged with three misdemeanor counts of battery, get away from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Dugan, whose actions on April 18 were largely caught on courthouse cameras, evidently figured the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. United States condemned by Democrats last summer was her ticket out of trouble.

If citizens in America can't protest because they are labeled xenophobic, racist, nationalist, tribalist colonizers than so are these Mexican citizens!
Unless they're pure Olmec, Mayan or Aztecs; they are just older colonizers protesting newer colonizers!

In recent years a blind doll has been introduced, as well as one with Down's syndrome - this latest addition also aims to increase representation amongst the range.
The new Barbie features technology that people with type 1 diabetes use to help manage the effects of the condition. The type 1 diabetes doll will feature a continuous glucose monitor along with an insulin pump.
Also included are 500 medical forms to fill out and a telephone where Barbie can hold for three hours trying to get through to the insurance company to see if they'll pay for it all ( okay I made that up :icon_e_biggrin: ).

On that day, Routh — who made around 20 small donations to Democrats through ActBlue between 2019 and 2020 and whom the Biden Department of Homeland Security declined to investigate despite previous complaints — allegedly took aim at a U.S. Secret Service agent conducting a security sweep with an SKS semiautomatic 7.62x39 caliber rifle with a scope attached and an extended magazine.

Air India pilots may have made fatal error before crash that killed more than 270 people
(https://i.imgur.com/cWUO0wYm.png)
A preliminary report for last month's Air India crash that killed 241 people on board — with a sole survivor miraculously walking away — found that the plane's engine fuel cutoff switch was flipped just three seconds after taking off.
It is unclear how or why the switch was flipped, which ceased all fuel to the engines and quickly forced the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner to lose its thrust and crash, killing another 19 people on the ground on June 12.
"The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off," the report said.
The cutoff switches are most often used to turn both engines off at once, either when a plane reaches the airport gate or during emergencies requiring a shutdown.
The report, headed by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, didn't indicate any findings pointing toward any emergency before the crash that would require a fuel cutoff.

An Ohio couple is grieving the "unimaginable tragedy" of the death of their 1-year-old daughter after their pit bull unexpectedly attacked her, according to police.
Tuscarawas County Sheriff Orvis L. Campbell said that deputies were called out on a report of a dog attack at a home on Lake Road in Dover Township on July 2 at about 6 p.m.
Campbell said an emergency dispatcher received an initial call where nothing could be heard and then received a second call moments later from the mother, who said her child had been killed.
When deputies arrived at the residence, they found the child with bites to her face and neck. She was declared dead at the scene.

Some Social Security recipients could experience a payment garnishment as an agency clawback policy on previous overpayments doled out to seniors goes into effect later in July.
It means that the latest date that overpayment clawbacks can start is July 24, which is 90 days after April 25. Some seniors may have received wage garnishment notices before April 25, meaning the clawbacks started before the July 24 cutoff, according to the SSA message.
It's not the first time that the agency has tried to reclaim overpayments.
According to an analysis from health policy research organization KFF that cited a Freedom of Information Act request, the SSA attempted to reclaim overpayments from approximately 2 million people in the fiscal year ending September 2023.

Eight Chinese nationals on student visas in the United States have been indicted for their alleged role in a scam targeting elderly Americans through fraudulent computer pop-ups, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced on July 11.
The defendants, who came to the United States to attend college, are accused of defrauding more than 50 victims across 19 states out of more than $10 million. They were indicted by a federal grand jury in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
According to the second superseding indictment, the defendants are accused of running the computer pop-up scam from August 2023 to February 2024. The pop-ups were disguised as coming from Microsoft, falsely warning victims that their computers had been hacked and displaying a phone number to call for help.
When victims called the number, they were allegedly fed various lies, for example, that their bank accounts were "not secure" and that they would need to withdraw from their savings, according to the court document.
To conceal their crimes, the defendants allegedly instructed the victims not to tell anyone what they had been told, and to tell banks that the large cash withdrawals were for purposes such as "home remodeling," the court document added.

I dont want to start a thread about this, but its heavy on my mind so i guess ill just drop it here.
I have been on the internet for long time. Of all the shit i have seen go down with trolls (whats up) and bullies, something happened a few weeks ago that has just broke my fucking heart. I have actually cried tears over this.
Anyone even slightly associated with me knows i love animals. Im the weirdo that will bring that abandoned baby squirrel home. Hurt birds. My kids even drag home random injured wild life. Im a complete sucker for an animal that needs help...hence how i ended up with 32 cats and kittens and found myself inside of a network of professional rescuers who were helping me. Taking animals for me. Helping me pay for vet care. You name it. Its a tight community and im happy i got rub elbows with these wonderful people...if only for a few years.
I do not consider myself anysort of rescuer. But i will do what i can where i can. I love that we have people out there who have made it their entire life mission. And maybe thats what i SHOULD have been doing...i just dont have the steady capacity mentally or emotionally to do so. So i admire those who do.
A few years ago, i stumbled upon this video
https://youtube.com/shorts/VoFzjyVq_Qs?si=sSim7EmlP1os9UBy
Prescious isnt it? I was immediately drawn in. This is a young women names Mikala Raines, and Finnegan fox. A 30 year old gorgeous young woman who started SaveAFox wildlife rescue which has been massively successful. Mostly due to her online content showing sweet little Finny the fox and other foxes. And some minks. Some coyotes. Cats. jackassals. A racoon. Shes got all kinds of animals.
But her passion was saving foxes from fur farms.
On any given day you could go to the SaveAfox channel and see this woman feeding the animals animal friendly cupcakes on their birthdays. Yes. She celebrated their birthdays. Giving them watermelon. Rolling around and cuddling with them. She was like a beautiful little wood fairy frolicking about with woodland creatures. Educating people and sharing her animals.
Me and Squish watched her videos all the time and i have donated a handful of times to her rescue. She also was on the autism spectrum and had BPD. She wasnt in it for fame or money, she was so down to earth. Not at all the "influencer" sort. Everything she made went right to the rescue and the animals.
SaveAfox popularity online grew the rescue and made it possible for her to rescue hundreds of foxes.
And as to sadly be expected, attracted trolls and bullies. Trolls and bullies who relentlessly attacked and harrassed this woman. They even had a fucking reddit dedicated to hating her. And it wasnt JUST people from the internet. People who were also in the rescue community turned on her. She was accused of animal abuse. Animal hoarding. Neglect. They told her she should either go do OF or kill herself.
And sadly, two weeks ago, she ended her life. Leaving behind this whole rescue, a husband, and a 3 year old daughter.
And for two weeks, ive had a steady stream of her videos on my algorithm. Videos i never thought i could feel so sad watching.
Apparently the "snark" reddit board was taken down to shut to private and the ring leaders of the hate crusade have been doxxed. So many people want to see justice had here....but what can even be done.
Its easy to say "well thats just part of being on the internet and if you cant take it, dont put yourself out there" and normally i agree. I get that. And she clearly wasnt cut out for all that spotlight. But all the good things she was able to do because of it...it just sucks so bad. Like really WHO bullies a wildlife rescuer? And one who is so sweet and cute and just wants to save foxes?
A good chunk of the bullies responsible for this were FURRIES. I shit you not. A bunch a fucking animal perverts. So a bunch of depraved troons who dress up like animals and make it sexual. Every single one of those useless degenerates combined do not add up to one Mikala Rains. She was 30 years old and did more in her short life for the benefit of living beings than the nasty bullies who drove her to suicide.
I followed her channels for years and her socail media and i didnt even know this was going on. She mentioned it maybe 3 times and it was always to tell her followers NOT to go after them.
It just kills me that the very thing that helped her mission the most and that helped her help hundreds of animals was the very thing that killed her.
Her husband vowed to continue the rescue and keep saving foxes from furr farms and there has been an outpouring of support. Donations. Fund raisers. Art and poems about Mikala. Tributes. People going and visiting the animals. I see them sharing pictures of the animals we all know by name from Mikalas videos. And they look SO SAD. Like they all know shes gone.
https://youtube.com/shorts/DUkCE__9DcM?si=cf9Sbl8vkID6dAR1
So if you guys like animals and rescue efforts youd probably love SaveAFox.
Im just so sad about this. Thanks for reading if you read it. :drunk2:

Quote from: Dove on July 15, 2025, 12:17:10 PMI dont want to start a thread about this, but its heavy on my mind so i guess ill just drop it here.You know me kid I have a short attention span and you had a lot to say here. Just from skimming across it I get what you are laying down.
I have been on the internet for long time. Of all the shit i have seen go down with trolls (whats up) and bullies, something happened a few weeks ago that has just broke my fucking heart. I have actually cried tears over this.
Anyone even slightly associated with me knows i love animals. Im the weirdo that will bring that abandoned baby squirrel home. Hurt birds. My kids even drag home random injured wild life. Im a complete sucker for an animal that needs help...hence how i ended up with 32 cats and kittens and found myself inside of a network of professional rescuers who were helping me. Taking animals for me. Helping me pay for vet care. You name it. Its a tight community and im happy i got rub elbows with these wonderful people...if only for a few years.
I do not consider myself anysort of rescuer. But i will do what i can where i can. I love that we have people out there who have made it their entire life mission. And maybe thats what i SHOULD have been doing...i just dont have the steady capacity mentally or emotionally to do so. So i admire those who do.
A few years ago, i stumbled upon this video
https://youtube.com/shorts/VoFzjyVq_Qs?si=sSim7EmlP1os9UBy
Prescious isnt it? I was immediately drawn in. This is a young women names Mikala Raines, and Finnegan fox. A 30 year old gorgeous young woman who started SaveAFox wildlife rescue which has been massively successful. Mostly due to her online content showing sweet little Finny the fox and other foxes. And some minks. Some coyotes. Cats. jackassals. A racoon. Shes got all kinds of animals.
But her passion was saving foxes from fur farms.
On any given day you could go to the SaveAfox channel and see this woman feeding the animals animal friendly cupcakes on their birthdays. Yes. She celebrated their birthdays. Giving them watermelon. Rolling around and cuddling with them. She was like a beautiful little wood fairy frolicking about with woodland creatures. Educating people and sharing her animals.
Me and Squish watched her videos all the time and i have donated a handful of times to her rescue. She also was on the autism spectrum and had BPD. She wasnt in it for fame or money, she was so down to earth. Not at all the "influencer" sort. Everything she made went right to the rescue and the animals.
SaveAfox popularity online grew the rescue and made it possible for her to rescue hundreds of foxes.
And as to sadly be expected, attracted trolls and bullies. Trolls and bullies who relentlessly attacked and harrassed this woman. They even had a fucking reddit dedicated to hating her. And it wasnt JUST people from the internet. People who were also in the rescue community turned on her. She was accused of animal abuse. Animal hoarding. Neglect. They told her she should either go do OF or kill herself.
And sadly, two weeks ago, she ended her life. Leaving behind this whole rescue, a husband, and a 3 year old daughter.
And for two weeks, ive had a steady stream of her videos on my algorithm. Videos i never thought i could feel so sad watching.
Apparently the "snark" reddit board was taken down to shut to private and the ring leaders of the hate crusade have been doxxed. So many people want to see justice had here....but what can even be done.
Its easy to say "well thats just part of being on the internet and if you cant take it, dont put yourself out there" and normally i agree. I get that. And she clearly wasnt cut out for all that spotlight. But all the good things she was able to do because of it...it just sucks so bad. Like really WHO bullies a wildlife rescuer? And one who is so sweet and cute and just wants to save foxes?
A good chunk of the bullies responsible for this were FURRIES. I shit you not. A bunch a fucking animal perverts. So a bunch of depraved troons who dress up like animals and make it sexual. Every single one of those useless degenerates combined do not add up to one Mikala Rains. She was 30 years old and did more in her short life for the benefit of living beings than the nasty bullies who drove her to suicide.
I followed her channels for years and her socail media and i didnt even know this was going on. She mentioned it maybe 3 times and it was always to tell her followers NOT to go after them.
It just kills me that the very thing that helped her mission the most and that helped her help hundreds of animals was the very thing that killed her.
Her husband vowed to continue the rescue and keep saving foxes from furr farms and there has been an outpouring of support. Donations. Fund raisers. Art and poems about Mikala. Tributes. People going and visiting the animals. I see them sharing pictures of the animals we all know by name from Mikalas videos. And they look SO SAD. Like they all know shes gone.
https://youtube.com/shorts/DUkCE__9DcM?si=cf9Sbl8vkID6dAR1
So if you guys like animals and rescue efforts youd probably love SaveAFox.
Im just so sad about this. Thanks for reading if you read it. :drunk2:
But, I aint going to bullshit ya. I am frickin hard on any animal on my farm. They all have a job to do and if they do not do it they will be getting a visit from my 270.
Call me a heartless old prick if you like. My farm is a business not an animal rescue centre.

Farm animals are working animals.
Rescuers are rehabilitating injired or sick wildlife.
Mikayla Raines saves foxes from furr farms, animal hoardind and pet surrenders.
Furr farms are horrific and all those foxes are bred in captivity so they can never be released into the wild (due to funky genetics it would be detrimental to wild foxes). They keep the poor things in wire cages from birth to when they are killed for furr.
She would have videos of furr farm foxes stepping onto grass for the first time that would have me sniffling into my coffee

Dogs and cats are excellent on farms. That isnt cruel. Dogs do better on farms than being kept in houses.
Raising mink though?! Nooooo dont tell me that. Just sad. I know people gotta make a living and all but its just cruel.
Hating and demonizing people isnt the way though. When it comes to helping animals this is where empathy pays.

Thats fine, Herman. Humans eat meat. I have no problem with farmers or hunters.
You probably take good care of them and have ethical farming practices as most farmers do.
Here in my state the most educated conservationists are hunters. We need hunters because we no longer have wolves or enough predators to keep the deer population in check.
Im not some loopy ass PETA person lol. But i do care about etnical treatment of living beings.
Im not against eating animals. But i am against abusing and torturing them. I doubt you are operating like Tyson over there and forcing your cows to suffer and live in pain and fear.

Quote from: DKG on July 12, 2025, 10:02:48 AMAn Ohio couple is grieving the "unimaginable tragedy" of the death of their 1-year-old daughter after their pit bull unexpectedly attacked her, according to police.
Tuscarawas County Sheriff Orvis L. Campbell said that deputies were called out on a report of a dog attack at a home on Lake Road in Dover Township on July 2 at about 6 p.m.
Campbell said an emergency dispatcher received an initial call where nothing could be heard and then received a second call moments later from the mother, who said her child had been killed.
When deputies arrived at the residence, they found the child with bites to her face and neck. She was declared dead at the scene.
In my city, a 31 year old mother stabbed her 7 month old to death...pittbulls aren't the only schizo around.

My feelings about how we should move about the earth are rooted in my spiritual beliefs that this is Gods creation and we we are conscious beings in Gods image who are tasked with being the stewards of this creation.
Unfortunately unlike the rest of the creatures here, we have the choice to go sideways and become corrupted.

Coca-Cola has responded to President Donald Trump's claim that it had agreed to use real cane sugar in its products, but stopped short of confirming it.
The president wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday: "I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better!"
But Coca-Cola, which has not confirmed a move to cane sugar, replied to a comment on Trump's post, saying: "All Coca-Cola brand products are wholesome beverages manufactured in compliance with the federal law."

Pepsi uses HFCS in most of their products but they also make a product labeled "Made With Real Sugar". Its a few dollars more expensive.
Coke made with real sugar exists but it is known as "Mexican Coke" and only comes in glass bottles sold individually or in 4 packs. You cannot purchase Coke with real sugar in 12pk cans.

A major sports memorabilia seller reportedly tossed a grenade into the industry through a lengthy Facebook post and then committed suicide.
A post in an autographs group attributed to 45-year-old Brett Lemieux dropped dizzying details about a decades-long scheme to counterfeit signatures on sports memorabilia in order to profit from the sales.
The post was published on Wednesday, the same day that Westfield Police released a statement confirming that they had raided a property as part of an investigation into counterfeit memorabilia on Tuesday. Police then raided a second property Wednesday and found a man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The post said that Lemieux had sold $350 million worth of items through his company named Mister Mancave. It described the scam as an "addiction."
How many items can I sell and give a front of a huge company. I did it for years. Purchased millions of dollars of legit items. Mixed it until [name withheld] found the hologram connect. Then I had the bank roll to buy even more. Do more signings. Every one item from a signing turned into 10,000. And it was certified. 95% of the [Patrick] Mahomes and Aaron [Judge] on the market are sold by me. Basically every autograph sold in the last 25 years you should have it looked at. It's fake and someone sold it to you other than me. I wish I had the exact dollar number of money taken in from this and I'll go to my grave never knowing. I kept this secret from everyone.

A foreign national residing in one of Massachusetts' migrant shelters confessed to committing a horrific crime against his daughter.
A 44-year-old man, who lived at the Marlborough Holiday Inn, pleaded guilty on July 11 to aggravated rape of a child.
The shelter's then-manager, Jon Fetherston, reported the attack to authorities, claiming that the man raped and impregnated his 14-year-old daughter while residing in the state-run facility. He previously stated that while managing the shelter from November 2023 to July 2024, he reported many tragic crimes, including alleged domestic violence and sexual assault.

A widely used sugar substitute found in some sugar-free and low-calorie foods may not be as benign as previously thought, according to a new study.
Small amounts of erythritol, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001, may damage brain blood vessel cells and could lead to a higher chance of stroke, researchers from the University of Colorado said in a news release.
Erythritol is considered a sugar alcohol, produced mostly by fermenting corn. It's found in a large number of products such as candy, sugar-free gum, soft drinks, mouthwash, ice cream, protein bars, and more.

Alabama police have arrested seven people so far in a terrifying child sex trafficking ring that involved an underground bunker in the small town of Brent.
The Bibb County Sheriff's Office said they opened an investigation into concerns about possible sex abuse on Feb. 4. Four months later, they announced arrests and unbelievable details about what they uncovered.
Initially, police announced four arrests on Saturday related to investigation into the bunker and said that at least six children had been drugged and raped, according to Assistant District Attorney Bryan Jones. The storm shelter was being used as an underground bunker.
The four men arrested were identified as William Chase McElroy, Dalton Terrell, Andres Trejo-Velazquez, and Timothy St. John. Some of the suspects had allegedly confessed to their crimes, according to Jones.

Social Security will have to be means tested to keep it from insolvency.
It was smart of the Trump admionistration cut scammers off.
Social Security recipients face a 24 percent cut to their monthly payments in less than a decade as the trust fund dries up, according to a new analysis from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB).
The Social Security and Medicare trust funds, the group said, are just more than seven years from insolvency, with the group citing projections from the two programs' trustees.
For Social Security, the group projected that retirees could see a benefit cut of 24 percent in late 2032 unless Congress acts, according to the CRFB, a think tank that describes itself as nonpartisan.
"We estimate that this would be equal to an $18,100 annual benefit cut for a dual-earning couple retiring at the start of 2033," the CRFB said, saying it would occur "shortly after" the Social Security trust fund goes insolvent. In contrast, a single-income couple at that income level would see a $13,600 annual benefit cut.

For decades, statins have been heralded as reliable heroes in the battle against heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States and globally. However, an expert review suggests that long-term use of statins may be aiding the enemy by accelerating coronary artery calcification instead of providing protection.
The review, published in Clinical Pharmacology, suggests that statins may act as "mitochondrial toxins," impairing muscle function in the heart and blood vessels by depleting coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant cells use for growth and maintenance. Multiple studies show that statins inhibit CoQ10 synthesis, leading many patients to supplement.
CoQ10 is vital for producing ATP, the cell's fundamental energy carrier. Insufficient CoQ10 inhibits ATP production, resulting in an energy deficit that the review authors say "could be a major cause for heart muscle and coronary artery damage."
"We believe that many years of statin drug therapy result in the gradual accumulation of mitochondrial DNA damage," the authors wrote.

Authorities in Michigan say a man entered a Walmart in Traverse City on Saturday afternoon armed with a folding knife and stabbed 11 people before being taken into custody.
The attack began unfolding at 4:43 p.m., the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office said in a statement posted online.
The victims were being treated at the Munson Medical Center in Traverse City. As of Saturday evening, six of the victims were in critical condition and five were in serious condition, the hospital said in an update online.
At a news conference Saturday evening, Grand Traverse Sheriff Michael Shea said the victims include six males and five females. Authorities have not yet provided the ages of any of the victims.
The suspect has been identified by authorities only as a 42-year-old man.
"We believe he acted alone at this time," Shea said during the news conference. "There is no information indicating there were additional suspects."
The sheriff said a deputy arrived at the Walmart within 3 minutes of a 911 call being made about the stabbing and took the suspect into custody. The sheriff also credited "citizen involvement" with apprehending the suspect, who was armed with a folding knife, he said.

The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into ex-CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey for perjury and potentially other crimes related to the Trump-Russia hoax. Former DNI James Clapper indicated he would "lawyer up" after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard referred damning documents detailing the genesis of the hoax's manufacture under Obama to the Department of Justice.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe hinted Sunday that twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton might also face the music over her apparent hand in what Gabbard has referred to as an alleged "treasonous conspiracy."

While sleeping in darkness may seem obvious, research shows that even small amounts of light, such as the glow from your phone screen or a nightlight, can disrupt the body's internal clock, suppress melatonin, and interfere with deep sleep. Over time, this may increase the risk of developing chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, depression, and cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Mehmet Oz has zeroed in on the real source of health care bloat: hospital executives enriching themselves under the guise of nonprofit care.
Oz recently urged Americans to review tax filings and publicly "shame" hospital administrators pulling down massive salaries. He's right to sound the alarm.
Most hospitals claim nonprofit status — but their leadership rakes in pay packages in the tens of millions, complete with bonuses, stock perks, and golden parachutes. Those compensation schemes only make sense because the IRS grants nonprofits huge tax breaks. And the standards for maintaining that status? Laughably weak.
As a result, the federal government forfeits tens of billions of dollars annually — revenue that could support real health care reform or reduce the deficit.
Consider Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia. It belongs to Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic, a large nonprofit chain. Trinity's CEO earns over $1.4 million a year. Yet, Nazareth carries a dismal one-star Medicare rating, charges high prices, and provides very little charity care. Despite funneling more than $160 million annually through its doors, it contributes almost nothing in taxes — while local, state, and federal governments foot the bill for many of its patients.
It's a rigged system: Taxpayers pay, executives profit, and patients suffer.

When T.J. Hoover was declared brain-dead after suffering an overdose in October 2021, the last thing his loved ones thought would happen, happened.
While on the operating table as an organ donor, Hoover was alive.
Donna Rhorer, Hoover's sister, says doctors were attempting to harvest his organs while he was still showing signs of life — like his eyes being open and tracking movement during his honor walk, which is when family says goodbye before organ donation surgery.
"Almost immediately as soon as his honor walk started, his eyes were opened, and they were tracking, looking around at the people that were there," Rhorer said.
Forty-five minutes after he was taken away, a doctor then informed her and the rest of the family that the procedure had been stopped.
"She said, 'I stopped it. He's not ready. He woke up,'" Rhorer said.
But they didn't stop at Hoover.
"HRSA examined 351 cases where organ donation was authorized but not completed, identifying issues. ... Of those, 73 patients showed neurological signs incompatible with organ donation, and 28 may not have been deceased when procurement began," Stuckey explains.

While on the operating table as an organ donor, Hoover was alive.
Donna Rhorer, Hoover's sister, says doctors were attempting to harvest his organs while he was still showing signs of life — like his eyes being open and tracking movement during his honor walk, which is when family says goodbye before organ donation surgery.
"Almost immediately as soon as his honor walk started, his eyes were opened, and they were tracking, looking around at the people that were there," Rhorer said.
Forty-five minutes after he was taken away, a doctor then informed her and the rest of the family that the procedure had been stopped.

The Social Security trust funds are projected to run out about six months earlier than previously estimated, according to a new analysis from the program's chief actuary.
Letters sent Aug. 5 to Sen. Ron Wyden (D‑Ore.) and Rep. Steven Horsford (D‑Nev.) say the combined Old‑Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI) funds are now expected to be depleted in the first quarter of 2034, rather than the third quarter of that year as in the most recent trustees' report.
I don't trust them.

Canada Post is dying, not with a bang but a whimper, a reality its management and union refuse to accept.
As things stand, its days are numbered and it will inevitably be privatized.
Mail volume dropped from 5.5 billion letters in 2006 to 2.2 billion in 2023. During that same period, the average number of letters households received per week plummeted from seven to two.
The government ordered an end to the most recent postal strike, which lasted from Nov. 15 to Dec. 17, 2024, declaring the two sides at an impasse.
Another sign workers know the writing is on the wall is that they have not returned to the picket lines, instead taking the less drastic protest measure of refusing to work overtime.
In May, a government report on the state of Canada Post recommended changes it must make to survive.
They include phasing out daily door-to-door delivery to individual home addresses, except for businesses — which many Canadians haven't had for years — closing rural postal offices, expanding community mailboxes and hiring more part-time workers to reflect daily mail volumes, which the union rejected.

New ice cream flavor inspired by breast milk goes nationwide
(https://i.imgur.com/BSxIN4Qm.jpeg)
A new ice cream flavor mimicking breast milk is being released nationwide, offering a unique taste experience inspired by a Kardashian's comments.
The ice cream, created by Frida and OddFellows, is designed to replicate the flavor of breast milk using ingredients such as milk, cream, sugar, and bovine colostrum. This unusual flavor combination is intended to provide a sweet, slightly salty, and smooth taste with hints of honey.
The ice cream does not contain any human breast milk but aims to mimic its taste.
Bovine colostrum, a nutrient-rich substance produced by cows after giving birth, is used to achieve the desired flavor profile. The product is priced at $13 per pint.
The inspiration for this flavor came after Kourtney Kardashian publicly commented on the taste of her own breast milk, prompting Frida to explore the idea of bringing this unique taste to a wider audience.

Labubu is just the latest Chinese pop-culture incursion aiming at American hearts and minds.
Americans are hanging Chinese monsters from their purses and calling it fashion. The Labubu doll — a deranged creature with elf ears and dead eyes — has become the latest "must-have" accessory across America.
Pop Mart's stock price soars as millions of Americans embrace these plastic demons, never pausing to wonder why this craze came from China or what cultural current carried it across the Pacific.
This isn't about toys. It's about cultural dominance, and China is winning. Once the global master of soft power, America is losing its grip.
Emotional anchors
These wide-eyed mascots worm their way onto backpacks, keychains, and nightstands across America. And that's exactly why they must be seen through a broader lens. They're more than merchandise. They're emotional anchors, symbols of comfort that quietly draw Americans toward Chinese brands and aesthetics.

'Not all countries have the same values and legal system that we have in Canada.'
An executive order signed by President Trump upon taking office is having a ripple effect on gender activism in Canada.
On January 20, Trump signed an order titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government."
The order affirmed the "biological reality of sex" and formally recognized only two genders in the United States. Canadians were recently notified that the order is now restricting their gender performance in terms of travel documents.
Since 2019, Canadians have been allowed to designate their genders as "X" on their passports, a policy that progressed through the Nexus travel cards, a joint program between the Canada Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The program allows travelers between the two countries to cross faster using expedited lines and screening processes.
Now, the CBSA has confirmed that Nexus users from Canada will no longer be allowed to label their gender as "X" and must be compliant with Trump's executive order moving forward. :good:

A recall of two plant-based sweetener products from NuNaturals Inc. was given the second-highest risk warning by the Food and Drug Administration, according to two notices published by the agency.
NuNaturals is recalling certain lots of its Organic Pure Stevia and Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener, according to notices posted on the FDA's website.
A mix-up of the labeling showed the stevia bottles were filled with the monk fruit sweetener, while the monk fruit sweetener was filled with stevia. The company initiated the recall last month, but the FDA on Aug. 1 said that has a Class II risk.

Some residents and local politicians in New Hampshire have sounded the alarm about national security concerns after a Chinese company purchased a large property near a small town's water system.
Earlier this year, Nongfu Spring, one of China's largest bottled water and soft beverages companies, quietly purchased a 337,391-square-foot industrial building on 23 acres in Nashua.
Nongfu Spring, owned by China's richest man, Zhong Shanshan, paid $67 million, four times the assessed value of the property, after it sat vacant for over a decade.
The company's limited market in the U.S., the inflated sales price, and the building's proximity to the Pennichuck water system, Nashua Airport, defense centers, and the Federal Aviation Administration control center only further raised suspicions about the purchase.

President Trump said "If D.C. doesn't get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take federal control of the city, and run this city how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore."

AOL pulling the plug on its dial-up service
(https://i.imgur.com/hi9iSvN.png)
The end of an internet era is near. AOL announced it will discontinue its dial-up internet service and the software designed for it on Sept. 30, marking the final chapter for a once-dominant way to get online.
The company said the decision followed a routine evaluation of its products and services.
Over the decades, most Americans have moved to faster, more reliable connections. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 100 million households now have broadband service, such as cable, fiber optic or DSL. Another 10 million use satellite or another type of service.
Just 163,401 households reported using dial-up, the most recent Census data show. AOL did not say how many users still used its dial-up service.

The Minnesota Vikings football team announced the inclusion of two males on its cheerleader squad, and some fans were not terribly thrilled about the decision.
Queerty, a website advocating the gay agenda, called the response "homophobic" and identified the two male cheerleaders as Blaize Shiek and Louie Conn.

A community cluster of Legionnaires' disease has been identified in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem, with 92 confirmed cases of infection as of Aug. 13, the New York City Health Department said in a statement.
Fifteen people are currently hospitalized, and three individuals have died in this outbreak, the statement added.
Legionnaires' disease is a type of pneumonia caused by the Legionella pneumophila bacterium, which grows in warm water, the health department said in an earlier update. People get infected when they breathe in water vapor containing the bacteria.
The disease can be caused by plumbing systems where favorable conditions exist for the bacteria to grow, such as evaporative condensers of large air conditioning systems, humidifiers, hot tubs, and cooling towers.

The temperature in Texas has shown no unprecedented or unusual warming.
Recent temperatures in Texas are similar to those found more than 100 years ago.
The annual number of 100°F days in Texas has an overall decreasing trend.
Droughts in Texas are not becoming more severe or numerous.
Tornadoes, hurricanes and floods are not becoming more frequent in Texas.
Agriculture in Texas is thriving.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is essential and beneficial for life on Earth, as CO2 greens Texas as well as the rest of the Earth.
The evidence presented here is clear: There is no climate crisis in Texas. Not only is CO2 beneficial, but it is necessary for life on Earth.

Globalist progressive puppet master George Soros turned 95 years old last week on August 12.
Since Alex Soros was given control of Open Society Foundations and related financial entities in 2023, the empire has been crumbling.
Alex's biggest failures, most notably his decision to invest roughly $2 billion in an electric vehicle company called Rivian Automotive. Under Alex's oversight, Soros Fund Management purchased nearly 20 million shares at $70-$100 per share, but in just a year's time, the stock dropped to a laughable $18 per share, resulting in over $1 billion in losses.
According to HedgeFollow, a website that tracks and ranks U.S. hedge fund performances, Soros Fund Management currently holds a performance rating of one out of five stars, indicating it is among the least successful hedge funds in the country.

New population statistics show that President Donald Trump has been successful so far in reversing the inflow of immigrants, both legal and illegal.
The current population survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the foreign-born population dropped by an unprecedented 2.2 million people between January and July, the first few months of Trump's second term.
Further, an analysis of the survey results by the Washington, D.C.-based research institute Center for Immigration Studies found that of those, about 1.6 million were illegal aliens.

An illegal alien accused of killing three people on a Florida highway was previously processed for deportation — but was able to stay after claiming he feared being sent back to his home country of India, according to reports. The illegal migrant suspect was allegedly granted a license in Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom's California despite having no legal right to be in the United States.
Harjinder Singh, 28, was arrested on Saturday after authorities said he made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce while driving a tractor-trailer.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier proclaimed, "There will be accountability for this illegal alien's reckless disregard for human life. He will not escape justice in Florida. Not on my watch."
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles noted, "During the course of this criminal investigation and with the assistance of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, state troopers determined that Harjinder Singh entered the United States illegally, having crossed the Mexico border in 2018."
Singh, an Indian national, was reportedly processed for fast-track deportation by the first Trump administration. However, Singh claimed to immigration officials that he was afraid to be deported back to India.
The DHS said on Monday, "Singh obtained a commercial driver's license in California, despite having no legal right to be in the United States."
"Governor Newsom put Americans' lives directly at risk by arming this illegal alien with the ability to operate a 40-ton killing machine on U.S. highways," the statement proclaimed. "This reckless policy gave Singh the keys, and three innocent people paid with their lives."
In 2013, California passed a law allowing residents to obtain driver's licenses, regardless of their immigration status.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Aug. 19 told the U.S. public not to eat, sell, or serve certain imported Walmart frozen shrimp produced by an Indonesian company because it may have been exposed to a radioactive material.
Health officials said in a statement that it is investigating reports of Cesium-137 contamination in shipping containers as well as shrimp products that were processed by Indonesia-based PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati, also known as BMS Food.
The shrimp was sold in Walmart locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia, according to a notice from the FDA.

The Biden administration killed a criminal probe into Bolton. It appears he may yet reap the whirlwind.
Within minutes of FBI Director Kash Patel tweeting on Friday morning, "NO ONE is above the law... FBI agents on mission," federal agents raided the D.C.-area home of John Bolton, President Donald Trump's former national security adviser.
A Trump administration official told the New York Post that federal agents stormed Bolton's Bethesda, Maryland, house at 7 a.m. on Patel's orders.
The raid is in connection to a probe reportedly involving classified documents that was launched years ago but torpedoed by President Joe Biden's administration for "political reasons," according a top U.S. official.
The Department of Justice during Trump's first term opened a criminal investigation in 2020 into whether Bolton disclosed classified information in his book, "The Room Where It Happened," after first proving unable to stop the publication of the book with a lawsuit.
The case was referred to the DOJ by then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.
Trump noted in June 2020, "Washed up Creepster John Bolton is a lowlife who should be in jail, money seized, for disseminating, for profit, highly Classified information.

A Milwaukee woman is getting a mental assessment after she was arrested over a gruesome and disturbing find in her apartment, Wisconsin police said.
Investigators initially responded to a call reporting a foul smell from the apartment near North 27th and State streets. Shyanna Brothers, 28, told police that the smell was coming from old food before they found a cardboard box in a locked room.
Police said the large box was surrounded by hundred of flies, and they found the remains of a decomposing baby inside. The rest of the room was empty.
"Bodily fluids from [the child's] body were soaking the bottom of the cardboard box," the criminal complaint reads.
The child was identified as the 10-month-old baby of the woman, and an autopsy found that the child had suffered a skull fracture, likely from blunt-force trauma.

Introduced by state Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Creem, it sets the stage for a future where the government tracks and potentially limits how many miles you drive each year. This isn't a fringe proposal — it's working its way through the legislature right now, and similar ideas are being tested in other states across the country.

ALTONA, MANITOBA - A trucker wanted for running a stop sign and killing a mother and her 8-year-old daughter was finally arrested after nine months on the run.
On August 21, 2025, at approximately 8:50 am, Navjeet Singh was arrested by Peel Regional Police and Canada Border Services Agency at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
Singh arrived in Canada on an Ethiopian Airlines flight following a 9-month Canada-wide Warrant for his Arrest.
On November 15, 2024, Pembina Valley RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Provincial Road 201 and Provincial Road 306, west of Altona.
A semi-trailer travelling eastbound failed to stop at the intersection with Provincial Road 306 and collided with a southbound SUV. The 35-year-old female SUV driver was pronounced deceased on scene and her eight-year-old daughter later died at hospital.
On November 20, 2024, RCMP charged Navjeet Singh, 25, of Brampton, Ontario, with Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Death x2 as well as Obstructing a Peace Officer.

Forgetfulness in midlife is often chalked up to stress or age. However, research shows blood pressure may be one of the clearest predictors of how well the brain is holding up.
In the first major update of the U.S. hypertension guidelines since 2017, the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology urge doctors to act sooner, treating even modest elevations as threats to both heart and brain health.
The goal, Dr. Daniel W. Jones, chair of the guideline committee, said in a statement, is to give doctors and patients earlier, more tailored strategies to help ease the toll of heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and dementia.
"High blood pressure is the most modifiable risk factor for stroke and brain complications," Dr. Shyam Prabhakaran, neurology chair at the University of Chicago, told The Epoch Times. "It affects the brain in silent ways. The brain doesn't regenerate, so over decades, those injuries take a toll. That's why putting brain health at the forefront of these guidelines is so important."
The Silent Threat to the Brain
High blood pressure scars the brain's white matter, changes that appear on MRI scans decades before memory loss. These hidden injuries are among the strongest predictors of dementia.
"High blood pressure sends force into the brain's smallest arteries," Prabhakaran said. "They're not designed to handle it, so they thicken, break, or leak. That leads to silent strokes, white matter damage, even microbleeds—long before memory problems appear." A silent stroke is one that causes real brain damage but no obvious symptoms at the time.
Nearly 16 percent of dementia cases worldwide—about 9.5 million people—are linked to hypertension, a 2023 analysis found. Warding off dementia by just five years could cut new cases in half, translating to extra years of stronger memory and greater independence.
A Johns Hopkins study of more than 13,000 adults found that having high blood pressure in midlife was linked to faster cognitive decline over the next two decades. Those who kept their numbers in check experienced less decline as they aged.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. raised the alarm earlier this year about the meteoric rise of reported autism cases in the United States, underscoring at a press conference, "We are doing this to our children, and we need to put an end to it."
"The [autism spectrum disorder] prevalence rate in 8-year-olds is now 1 in 31," said Kennedy, referring to a study that examined children born in 2014. The health secretary noted further that American boys face an "extreme risk" of ending up with autism, stating that they have a 1 in 20 chance of being diagnosed with the condition — or a 1 in 12.5 chance in California.
Kennedy promised President Donald Trump during a Cabinet meeting in April that "by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we'll be able to eliminate those exposures."
A study published this month in the peer-reviewed medical journal BMC Environmental Health could prove valuable to the Department of Health and Human Services' campaign to narrow down the possible causes of autism.
Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, University of California Los Angeles' School of Public Health, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai systematically reviewed 46 "well-designed" studies incorporating data from over 100,000 participants regarding the relationship between neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and prenatal exposure to acetaminophen.
Acetaminophen, the drug sold under the brand Tylenol in the United States and Canada, is the most common over-the-counter pain and fever medication used during pregnancy and is reportedly used by well over 50% of pregnant women worldwide.
The researchers found that 27 of the studies reported "significant links" between acetaminophen exposure in the womb and NDDs and noted that "higher-quality studies were more likely to show positive associations."
"Overall, the majority of the studies reported positive associations of prenatal acetaminophen use with ADHD, ASD, or NDDs in offspring, with risk-of-bias and strength-of-evidence ratings informing the overall synthesis," said the study.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury in May on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of the law.
Dugan, relieved of her duties as a judge in April by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, allegedly helped Eduardo Flores-Ruiz — an illegal alien from Mexico charged with three misdemeanor counts of battery — get away from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the alien's pre-trial April 18 appearance in her courtroom.
Dugan has since fought desperately to avoid accountability for her alleged crimes, which were apparently caught on courtroom cameras and could land her up to six years in prison.

Cheyenne Wyoming and its residents will soon be inevitably remade as a mysteriously unclaimed — but enormous, and enormously expensive — data center begins construction in the small Wyoming city. It's estimated that the installation will consume twice the electrical power presently pulled down by the entire state of Wyoming. Without elaborate recycling and efficiency measures, it could consume as much as 124 billion gallons of water per year.

If they need that much water for cooling why not build it at the North Pole instead. Just open the window and you've got all the cooling you need.

While ibuprofen and acetaminophen remain among the most commonly used drugs in the United States, new research published this week suggests that these over-the-counter medications may be fueling antibiotic resistance.
Published on Aug. 25 in the journal Nature, researchers from the University of South Australia investigated whether commonly used non-antibiotic medications such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, acetaminophen, furosemide, metformin, atorvastatin, tramadol, temazepam, and pseudoephedrine could lead to antibiotic resistance in people.
The researchers studied what happens when bacteria are exposed to those non-antibiotic drugs in combination with ciprofloxacin, a powerful antibiotic used to treat a range of bacterial infections.
Of those nine drugs, "findings showed that ibuprofen and acetaminophen significantly increased mutation frequency and conferred high-level ciprofloxacin resistance," researchers said.
They noted that the resistance to antibiotics was more acute in individuals who combined ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Advil, and acetaminophen, commonly sold as Tylenol in the United States and known as paracetamol in other countries.
Researchers found that E. coli developed more mutations promoting antibiotic resistance—and did so more quickly—when exposed to ciprofloxacin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen together, compared with exposure to ciprofloxacin alone, according to a university statement.
"Antibiotics have long been vital in treating infectious diseases, but their widespread overuse and misuse have driven a global rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria," Rietie Venter, an associate professor and lead researcher in the study, said in the statement.
"This is especially prevalent in residential aged care facilities, where older people are more likely to be prescribed multiple medications—not just antibiotics, but also drugs for pain, sleep, or blood pressure—making it an ideal breeding ground for gut bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics."

An alarming new survey reveals a dangerous blind spot in the medical community: Countless doctors still believe nicotine directly causes cancer. That myth has been repeated for decades, but science says otherwise.
The survey by Povaddo LLC included 1,565 U.S. medical professionals. Nearly half of health care practitioners (47%) and 59% of those treating heavy smokers incorrectly identified nicotine as a carcinogen. Another 19% weren't sure. The result: Many physicians discourage patients from trying "tobacco harm reduction" products — like e-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco — that contain nicotine but eliminate the thousands of toxins in combustible cigarettes.
This misunderstanding costs lives. By misidentifying nicotine as the killer, doctors steer smokers away from safer alternatives that could dramatically reduce cancer, heart disease, and lung disease.

Quote1 Dead, 7 Injured In Canada Mass Stabbing; Suspect Dies After Crashing Into Police Cruiser
A 26-year-old killed his sister and injured seven others in a mass stabbing incident at an Indigenous community in central Canada.
The suspect, identified as a 26-year-old from Hollow Water First Nation, an Anishinaabe community on the eastern shores of Lake Winnipeg, fled the scene in a stolen vehicle following the attack, reported CNN.
However, he later died after crashing into a police cruiser that was responding to the attack, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Manitoba said. His sister, 18, died from injuries sustained in the stabbing.
Speaking about the incident, the son and daughter of one of the victims said their father was stabbed several times after someone broke into his home, CNN reported.
A woman officer also got seriously injured after the crash and had to be rushed to the hospital.
Meanwhile, the injured people are currently undergoing treatment at the Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre, according to a spokesperson for the provincial health organisation Shared Health's statement to CNN.
The police are yet to ascertain the motive behind the attack.

When campuses become hostile to free thought, young people stop learning and start surviving.
Universities were meant to be spaces of rigorous debate and intellectual curiosity—not tax-funded institutions pushing a singular ideology.
If they don't return to their true mandate of fostering open dialogue, they risk becoming irrelevant to the very future they claim to serve.

The Powerball jackasspot has soared to an estimated $1.8 billion ahead of Saturday night's drawing.
There are two pretax options if you win: a lump sum, or one immediate payout followed by 29 yearly payments that increase by 5% annually. The lump sum is estimated at $826.4 million, while the annuity is worth an estimated $1.80 billion.
The Powerball jackasspot winner can expect a large upfront federal tax withholding. The IRS requires a mandatory 24% withholding for prizes that exceed $5,000.
If you choose the $826.4 million cash option, the 24% federal tax withholding automatically reduces your winnings by $198.3 million.
You may also owe state taxes, depending on where you live and where you purchased the ticket. Some states have no income tax or don't tax lottery winnings, but others have top-income state tax brackets exceeding 10%.
Powerball isn't the only chance to win big. The jackasspot for Friday night's Mega Millions drawing now stands at an estimated $336 million. The chance of hitting the jackasspot in that game is roughly 1 in 290.4 million.

Chagas disease, an illness transmitted by "kissing bugs," is now considered endemic in the United States, the University of California–Los Angeles (UCLA) said in a Sept. 2 post, citing a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Kissing bugs—also known as conenose or barber bugs—transmit the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi to humans, which causes Chagas disease.
The bugs bite humans to access blood. After that, these bugs deposit their droppings containing the parasites onto human skin. If the droppings get into the body, via a cut or through the eyes or mouth, the individual may end up getting infected.
For instance, when a person scratches the bite, the parasites may enter the wound and into the bloodstream. The CDC warned that the illness can potentially lead to sudden death in some individuals.

Scientists have found something they are calling the strongest sign of possible life beyond the solar system after finding a chemical footprint that can only be produced by living organisms.
The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) found allowed researchers to find traces of two gases – dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) – on a planet named K2-18b. The plant sits 700 trillion miles, or 124 light years, away from us, and is around two-and-a-half times the size of Earth. But the Webb is so powerful that it can analyse the chemical composition of the planet's atmosphere from the light that passes through from the small red Sun it orbits.
On Earth, DMS and DMDS are mostly generated by living organisms like algae. So it strongly suggests that K2-18b could be teeming with microbial life. Before we get too excited, this is not an announcement that life has been found but rather an indicator of a biological process. But it's exciting as K2-18b orbits in the 'habitable zone' – a distance where liquid water can exists on a planetary surface.

We all remember the famous Food Guide Pyramid developed in the 1990s that supposedly captures what a healthy diet looks like. The base of the model is made up of grains, followed by vegetables, fruits, dairy, proteins, and topped by a small section for fats and sweets.
It was a helpful tool that guided Americans in cultivating a healthy lifestyle for themselves and their families.
Except it wasn't, because the model is fundamentally flawed.
"Around the middle of the 20th century, we started to see what were called diseases of civilization. ... We started seeing obesity and diabetes and coronary heart disease and all the things that go with the modern lifestyle." "The problem was, our scientific experts identified the wrong culprit. They thought that the problem was the foods that people had been eating for thousands of years."
This led to foods like eggs, butter, and meat being vilified, hence their small category on the food pyramid. Instead, "experts" pushed for making carbohydrates — especially highly processed ones like breads, pastas, and cereals — the largest staple in people's diets.
The idea that foods refined by man are superior to foods from the earth is rooted in the prideful assumption that science supersedes, and even controls, nature.

China's state-owned broadcaster has rescinded international wire agency access to hot mic video footage of Chinese and Russian leaders discussing longevity and organ transplants, an effort that shows the Chinese regime's fear of attention on the topic, critics say.
The open mic exchange between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping took place in Beijing on Sept. 3, as the two leaders walked together ahead of a military parade commemorating World War II.
The conversation became global news and sparked discussions about the Chinese regime's state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting, a taboo topic in China. CCTV has since taken down the livestream video that captured the exchange and removed the moment from replays.
Xi, at the parade, told Putin that "these days at 70 you are still a child," prompting Putin to remark that continued organ transplants could allow one to live younger and even reach immortality. Xi, in response, said it is predicted that there's a chance of humans living to 150 years old.

The conversation became global news and sparked discussions about the Chinese regime's state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting, a taboo topic in China. CCTV has since taken down the livestream video that captured the exchange and removed the moment from replays.

Over 100,000 demonstrators packed the streets of London on Saturday afternoon for a "Unite the Kingdom" march led by British independent journalist Tommy Robinson.
The march, featuring people holding the English flag aloft, comes as local councils across the United Kingdom are taking down English flags flown by Britons. Some politicians are calling the mere flying of the English flag a rallying point for "hate."

A father and son were arrested in Salt Lake City on Sunday for allegedly affixing an explosive device to the bottom of a KSTU-TV news vehicle parked next to an occupied building.
The device was discovered just days after Charlie Kirk's assassination around a half-hour drive away at Utah Valley University and amid an increased media presence in the area.
KSTU revealed that the device was determined to be real. While the explosive had reportedly been lit, the arrest report indicated that it "failed to function as designed."
Salt Lake County Jail records indicate that Adeeb Ahamed Nasir, 58 — whose race was somehow entered into the system as "white" — is a Pakistani-born American citizen.
He was booked into the jail on Sunday and charged with the manufacture, possession, or use of a weapon of mass destruction; attempted aggravated arson; possession of an explosive/chemical/incendiary; threat of terrorism; and felony possession of parts for an explosion/chemical/incendiary device.
Nasir's American-born son, 31-year-old Adil Justice Ahme Nasir, has been charged with manufacture/possession/use of a weapon of mass destruction; attempted aggravated arson; threat of terrorism; and possession both of an explosive/chemical/incendiary device and parts to make one.

The state terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, were dismissed Tuesday, as he appeared in court in New York City for a pre-trial hearing.
The 27-year-old faces both state and federal charges in the killing of Thompson, a husband and father of two, last December outside a Manhattan hotel. The 11 state charges included murder and terrorism, and the federal ones carry the possibility of the death penalty.
His lawyers have been fighting to get the state charges thrown out entirely, arguing the parallel cases amount to double jeopardy. In his written decision Tuesday, Judge Gregory Carro ruled against their request.
The judge ruled to dismiss both terrorism charges -- murder in the first degree in furtherance of an act of terrorism and murder in the second degree as a crime of terrorism -- writing they were "legally insufficient."
"There was no evidence presented of a desire to terrorize the public, inspire widespread fear, engage in a broader campaign of violence, or to conspire with organized terrorist groups," Carro wrote. "Here, the crime -- the heinous, but targeted and discrete killing of one person -- is very different from the examples of terrorism set forth in the statute."
Mangione will still face second-degree murder and eight weapons-related charges in the state case. If convicted of the top count, it carries a sentence of 25 years to life. He has pleaded not guilty.

The U.S. Secret Service dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct anonymous threats against senior U.S. government officials, the agency said in a Sept. 23 statement.
The devices—an assortment of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards spread across multiple sites—were discovered to be concentrated within 35 miles of the global meeting of the U.N. General Assembly currently underway in New York City.
World leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are expected to speak at the event.

Two people have been arrested after police said they found six children locked inside a storage unit in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, last Tuesday.
Milwaukee police were dispatched to the storage units near 27th and Silver Spring after receiving a report of a child crying from inside a locked unit, according to court documents.
When they investigated the report, police said they heard a child crying and another coughing, so they brought in the Milwaukee Fire Department to cut off the unit's padlock. Inside they found the children, ages 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9 years old, as well as a 2-month-old baby.
The unit had only a bucket for the children to relieve themselves, and police said there was just a small sliver of light coming through the crack of the door.
"We're not supposed to be loud," one child said to an officer.
The oldest child identified the parents as 33-year-old Charles Dupriest and 26-year-old Azyia Zielinski, and allegedly told police that they locked the children in the unit. He also said he was in charge of taking care of the baby and had no way to contact the parents in case of an emergency.
Dupriest and Zielinski would drink "tequila and vodka, become drunk, and slump over," according to the child.
Police said the unit was in disarray and the smell inside was so "putrid" that they could not remain inside, even with the door open. There was a couch and a twin mattress without bedsheets for the children to sleep on. They found a box of chips, milk, and a case of soda. The unit had no electricity, lights, or running water.

Several peer-reviewed scientific journals such as Environmental Health, JAMA Psychiatry, Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics, and the International Journal of Epidemiology have shown the apparent correlation, not causation, between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism in children.
While such studies evidently have not swayed organizations cozy with the pharmaceutical industry, they certainly caused alarm behind the scenes at the very company that made Tylenol for six decades.
Damning internal documents recently obtained by the Daily Caller indicate that years before J&J parted ways with Tylenol, some of its senior scientists admitted that a possible association existed between Tylenol and autism.
For instance, when serving as the U.S. director of epidemiology for J&J's pharmaceutical arm Janssen in 2018, Rachel Weinstein noted in an email, "The weight of evidence is starting to feel heavy to me."
After referencing "studies in prenatal exposure and neurodev outcome," Weinstein wrote, "It looks like there are a bunch of papers from 2016 that we somehow missed. Many of them by Liew et al."
One of the papers Weinstein may have been referring to was a study published in the international journal Autism Research. The study indicated that maternal use of acetaminophen for over 20 weeks of pregnancy "increased the risk of [autism spectrum disorder] or infantile autism with hyperkinetic symptoms almost twofold."

At least 1 dead, 9 injured after shooting and fire at Michigan LDS church: police
QuoteAt least one person is dead and nine more were injured after a man drove through the front doors of a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday. Authorities believe there may be more victims within the church, which appears to have been deliberately set on fire by the suspect.https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/least-one-dead-multiple-injured-155137293.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall
The suspect was pronounced dead following an exchange of gunfire with authorities, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye said during an afternoon press conference.
According to Renye, shortly before 10:30 a.m. ET, the suspect, identified only as a 40-year-old man from Burton, Michigan, drove through the front doors of the LDS church. The man then allegedly got out of the vehicle and "fired several rounds at individuals within the church" with an assault rifle.
There were hundreds of people in the church at the time, Renye explained during Sunday's press conference, as a service was in session.
Ten people were taken to area hospitals with gunshot wounds, one of whom was pronounced dead, Renye said. Some of those who have been hospitalized are in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon.
An officer with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and a Grand Blanc officer were the first to respond to the scene, according to Renye.
"They met the suspect and they engaged in gunfire with that particular individual, neutralizing that suspect," Renye explained. "That suspect is no longer with us."
Renye did not identify the man during Sunday's press conference, but said they would be executing search warrants and search for a motive as part of their investigation. There is no further threat to the public, according to authorities.
Investigators have not yet determined when the fire that engulfed the church was set or where it began, though preliminary information has led police to believe the suspect did it "deliberately." The fire has been put out, and the search for additional victims who may not have been able to escape the church is underway, authorities said Sunday afternoon.
The church, circled by a parking lot and a large lawn, is located near residential areas and a Jehovah's Witness church in Grand Blanc. The community of roughly 40,000 people is just outside Flint.

The man accused of killing three people after opening fire at a packed dockside restaurant went the CMT Music Awards with Kellie Pickler before filing an unfounded lawsuit against the singer.
Nigel Edge, 39, was taken into custody Saturday night after he allegedly shot at the American Fish Company restaurant, a popular tourist hotspot, in Southport, North Carolina around 9.30pm.
Edge, who changed his name from Sean DeBevoise in 2023, was 'ecstatic' to be by the American Idol star's side in 2012 as he was pictured next to her on the red carpet in his Marine uniform.
'I am ecstatic about being here at the CMT Music Awards with Kellie,' he told Taste of Country at the time, adding that he was even happier 'to consider a friend.'
'She is the most sincere person I know. She is an angel,' he added.
The North Carolina says he is veteran who has been diagnosed with PTSD. There is still non confirmation he was ever an active Marine as he claims.
QuoteAll of his kind words about Pickler soon went out the window in February 2025 when the veteran sued the singer, claiming that she attempted to poison him, a 'straight man,' during the awards show.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15142159/nigel-edge-southport-north-carolina-american-fish-company-shooting.html
Edge claimed Pickler offered him a 'poisoned' glass of Jim Beam whiskey that he 'refrained from drinking' because he didn't want to be ill, the lawsuit stated.
He went on to say that the 'hate crime' was orchestrated by Pickler who 'attempted to murder the plaintiff in accordance with a white supremacist pedophile plan laid out in this discovery...,' the filing reviewed by the Daily Mail read.
(https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/09/28/18/102522187-15142159-image-a-41_1759082284737.jpg)
Edge has been behind numerous lawsuits filed in the state this year, according to records.
One of the legal filings accuses a Southport church of trying to kill him, according to the lawsuit filed in May.
In it, he claimed the Generations Church was behind a 'civil conspiracy' drawn up by the LGBTQ community and white supremacist pedophiles to kill him because he is a 'straight man,' the filing said.
Edge filed a similar lawsuit in January against Brunswick Medical Center, where he accused the facility of being part of a conspiracy launched by 'LGBTQ White Supremacists' who were this time out to get him because he survived their attack in Iraq, per the lawsuit.
Both lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice, records showed. The filing involving Pickler appears to remain open.
The Daily Mail contacted Pickler's team for comment.
Three people were killed and five were left injured after Edge, who identifies as a combat veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder, allegedly opened fire, according to police.
Edge, who cops described as a 'lone wolf' in the incident, was armed with an assault rifle, police said Sunday in a press conference. Other firearms were also found in his vehicle.
He faces three counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted first-degree murder and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Edge, who resides in Oak Island and is 'familiar' among the local police department, is being held without bond. He will make his first court appearance Monday.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear. The deceased victims have not been identified and at least one of the survivors is in critical condition, officials said.

Edge, who changed his name from Sean DeBevoise in 2023, was 'ecstatic' to be by the American Idol star's side in 2012 as he was pictured next to her on the red carpet in his Marine uniform.
'I am ecstatic about being here at the CMT Music Awards with Kellie,' he told Taste of Country at the time, adding that he was even happier 'to consider a friend.'
'She is the most sincere person I know. She is an angel,' he added.
The North Carolina says he is veteran who has been diagnosed with PTSD. There is still non confirmation he was ever an active Marine as he claims.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15142159/nigel-edge-southport-north-carolina-american-fish-company-shooting.html

Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny has been named as the next Super Bowl performer despite mocking the president just two months ago.
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is known not only for music but outlandish outfits that often include dresses and women's clothing.
Bad Bunny endorsed Kamala Harris after being offended by a joke at a Trump rally.

Marrying a first cousin is presently legal in Britain. Conservative Member of Parliament Richard Holden has, however, introduced legislation that would ban the practice, which has been linked to genetic disorders, higher infant mortality, and mental retardation.
The proposed ban has caused a great deal of hand-wringing among liberals and Pakistani activists, who figure it is "prejudiced" against the Pakistani community, where cousin marriage is widespread.
The National Health Service's Genomics Education Programme recently caused an uproar by adopting this framing and spinning incest as a possible social benefit.

Cindy Clemishire accused the founding pastor of a popular Texas megachurch of sexually abusing her for five years beginning in 1982 when she was a 12-year-old child, and the 64-year-old former pastor pleaded guilty on Thursday.
Robert Morris previously admitted to "inappropriate sexual behavior" with a "young lady" while denying any intercourse was involved, but he has since admitted to the rape in a plea deal.
That deal had Morris admit to five felony counts of indecent conduct with a child but will allow him to serve only 6 months in jail of a suspended 10-year sentence.
He also has to pay restitution of $250,000 and will register as a sex offender.

The discovery of SIM farms that threatened cellular networks in New York City is only the tip of a massive nationwide network run by the Chinese Communist government that poses an immediate threat to critical American infrastructure and has led to terrorist acts including hoax SWAT raids at the homes of national leaders, Blaze News has learned.
Sources in the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. intelligence community said these SIM card networks were operating in the United States as early as 2004. They have proliferated exponentially since President Donald J. Trump was re-elected to the presidency in November 2024.
The SIM networks were put in place and are managed by China's Ministry of State Security, an ultra-secretive, massive espionage agency that has grown in prominence and global activity in recent years, according to the journal China Leadership Monitor.
The MSS employs more than 800,000 people, nearly double the Soviet KGB at its peak. The MSS "now operates worldwide at a scale and tempo not seen in decades," China Leadership Monitor wrote in a recent newsletter.

How could this have happened. Without any credentials and not even legal in the States he conned his way into a superintendant of schools position in Des Moines Iowa.
The controversy over a migrant who allegedly lied his way into a very high-paying, cushy job at the Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa is growing by the minute.
On Friday the Department of Homeland Security released a detailed list of the criminal offenses allegedly committed by Ian Roberts, the man arrested by federal officials on Sept. 28.
"He should never have been serving in a role overseeing children in Iowa's largest school district," read a statement from the press release.
Roberts tried to speed away when he was confronted by ICE, but he was later apprehended with the help of the Iowa State Patrol.
"At the time of arrest, a loaded handgun, hunting knife, and $3,000 cash were found in his vehicle. On Oct. 2, he was charged with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms," read the statement from ICE.
Many on the left initially defended Roberts, and one official even called for "radical empathy" to protect him from the consequences of his actions, but those voices have quieted after more evidence surfaced.
ICE said Roberts was a migrant from Guyana, was present in the U.S. illegally, and had committed numerous other offenses during that time.
Some of the greater hits included:
July 1996: Charges related to criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell.
Nov. 1998: One charge for third-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle in Queens, New York, that was later dismissed.
Nov. 2012: Convicted for for reckless driving, unsafe operation, and speeding in Maryland.
Feb. 2020: Charges related to second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Jan. 2022: Conviction of unlawful possession of a loaded firearm in Pennsylvania.
Sept. 2025: Arrested by ICE officers.
Oct. 2025: Criminal charge of being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.
In addition, Roberts' lengthy history of interactions about his immigration status was released.
1994: He entered on a non-immigration visa and departed, but returned before his first arrest.
1999: He entered through San Francisco on a student visa and departed.
2000: ICE approved a work authorization request for Roberts.
2001: His green card request was rejected. He applied three more times though 2018 and was rejected each time.
2020: He was given a notice to appear before an immigration judge.
2024: He was ordered in absentia to be removed by a Texas judge.
April 2025: An immigration judge ruled against reopening his case.
Sept. 2025: He was arrested by ICE officials.
ICE said he was in custody of the U.S. Marshals and would be prosecuted for his most recent crimes.
The school officials involved in approving Roberts' hiring are now under intense scrutiny and suspicion since discovering that Roberts lied about having a doctorate and other credentials.

A man who performed as a drag queen was pulled from a Pride parade after he allegedly confessed to having sex with a 13-year-old child he met on a dating app.
Aubrey Ghalichi, whose real name is Michael Browder, was arrested in September and charged with two counts of sexual conduct with a minor according to court records.
The 13-year-old told Phoenix police that he pretended to be 18 years old and sought out two men to have sex with on two different occasions, according to the documents.
He did not know the identities of the men, but police were able to recover one conversation from his laptop. That conversation led to Browder, who was described by police as a "known Phoenix drag queen."

There is a 402-acre Muslim compound called "EPIC City" just north of Dallas-Fort Worth in the the sleepy little town of Murphy, Texas. The town is being targeted by Islamists intent on spreading their ideology.
There is a residential neighborhood called Oasis Springs Manor. And if you move to Oasis Springs Manor, you can now live on streets such as Al Maun Drive, a reference to a passage or section in the Quran. Another street is named Sadiq Drive, which is a reference to Jafar al-Sadiq, the sixth imam.

A Venezuelan opposition leader was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for her fight against the authoritarian regime led by Nicolas Maduro.
María Corina Machado is a 58-year-old industrial engineer who has been in hiding since 2024, when Maduro's allies declared his re-election victory despite cries that the contest had been rigged.
After receiving the award, Machado surprised many by dedicating it to President Donald Trump for his efforts in opposing the Venezuelan government.

These dangerous hoax raids have impacted high-ranking individuals, including a senior U.S. Secret Service official, members of Congress, such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), and conservative political commentators, like Tim Pool.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement claims to have arrested an illegal alien truck driver who was issued a commercial driver's license by New York State, reading, "NO NAME GIVEN."
In September, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) shared a photo of a New York State CDL belonging to "NO NAME GIVEN," whom he described as an illegal immigrant. Much of the identifying information on the Real ID was redacted.
Stitt indicated that the individual was apprehended as part of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol's enforcement actions, adding that troopers had captured 125 illegal immigrants.
ICE announced Friday that it had arrested Anmol Anmol, an alleged illegal alien from India who had been issued a CDL by New York State.

The iconic MTV network is shutting down several channels in the U.K., prompting many to lament the demise of the last of its music-only channels after 44 years.
MTV was launched in 1981 and revolutionized the music industry by airing music videos 24 hours a day and later developing the MTV Video Music Awards. It has since lost viewership and relevance, and the U.S. all-music channels closed in 2011.
On Friday MTV said it was shutting down five channels: MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live.
MTV in the U.S. had phased out music videos over many years after the rise in popularity of reality television shows. MTV HD will continue broadcasting some reality TV programs including "Teen Mom" and "Geordie Shore."

An anonymous whistleblower claimed that a Washington corrections department illegally hired unqualified immigrants as corrections officers.
According to Fox News Digital, the individual wrote to the Criminal Justice Training Commission in August, stating that the King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention violated a state statute that requires all peace officers and corrections officers to be United States citizens, lawful permanent residents, or recipients of deferred action for childhood arrivals.
"It has come to my attention, that, over the past several years, the King County DAJD has knowingly hired individuals as corrections officers who do not meet these legal requirements," the letter to the commission read.
The whistleblower claimed that in some instances, individuals with temporary work visas or expired work authorization were hired to guard detention centers.
"This practice not only undermines the integrity of Washington's criminal justice system but also presents significant legal and security concerns," the whistleblower remarked, urging the commission to investigate the claims promptly.

For the first time in years, leaders and celebrities from both parties are united in commending President Trump after his successful ceasefire negotiation.
Former president Bill Clinton also chimed in to sing Trump's praises, writing in a statement posted to X: "The horrors of the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, and the conflict they reignited, have resulted in unbearable human loss. It has been hard to watch and nearly impossible to rationalize."
"I'm grateful that a ceasefire has taken hold, that the last 20 living hostages have been freed, and that desperately needed aid has begun to flow into Gaza. President Trump and his administration, Qatar, and other regional actors deserve great credit for keeping everyone engaged until the agreement was reached," he added.
And comedian Jimmy Kimmel even had something nice to say about the president, though he laid the sarcasm on quite thick.
"What a day for Donald Trump. You know what? He finally did something positive today, and I want to give him credit for it, because I know he's not the type to take credit for himself," Kimmel said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
"Trump was in Israel and Egypt today to celebrate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. All 20 Israeli hostages are home after 738 days. Almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees have been released, and while we're only in the first phase of what will undoubtedly be a long and tricky process, the fact is, the bombing has stopped," he continued.

AOC is a moron.
"Cutting the EPA as a Democrat priority. You know what this country looked like before the EPA? Rivers in rural areas were on fire because of corporations poisoning the people who lived in those areas — poor, middle-class communities getting poisoned and dumped on by corporations like Deloitte and 3M, pouring chemicals into these places. And they want to call it a Democratic priority," she added.
"And that's why they want to eliminate the FDA!" she said, likely meaning EPA instead.
Deloitte is an accounting agency and had nothing to do with any alleged chemical-dumping. Some believe she meant to say DuPont, the chemical company.
"Deloitte is an accounting firm, how are they pouring chemicals into rural areas. @AOC needs to go back to acting school because her little performance was embarrassing at the CNN Townhall," one popular response reads.

"Butt breathing" might soon be a real medical treatment
(https://thebluecashew.net/gallery/3421_21_10_25_10_00_37.png)
Last year, a group of researchers won the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Physiology for discovering that many mammals are capable of breathing through their anus. But as with many Ig Nobel awards, there is a serious side to the seeming silliness. The same group has conducted a new study on the feasibility of adapting this method to treat people with blocked airways or clogged lungs, with promising results that bring rectal oxygen delivery one step closer to medical reality.
This is perhaps one of the more unusual research developments to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated shortages of ventilators and artificial lungs to assist patients' breathing and prevent respiratory failure. The Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center team took their inspiration from the humble loach, a freshwater bottom-dwelling fish found throughout Eurasia and northern Africa. The loach (along with sea cucumbers) employs intestinal breathing (i.e., through the anus) rather than gills to survive under hypoxic conditions, thanks to having lots of capillary vessels in its intestine. The technical term is enteral ventilation via anus (EVA).
And Oxycyte was ideal for the group's 2021 Ig Nobel-winning efforts. The experiments involved intra-anally administering oxygen gas or a liquid oxygenated perfluorocarbon to the unfortunate rodents and porcines. Yes, they gave the animals enemas. They then induced respiratory failure and evaluated the effectiveness of the intra-anal treatment. The result: Both treatments were pretty darned effective at staving off respiratory failure with no major complications.

The former lead vocalist of the Welsh rock band Lostprophets, Ian Watkins aged 48, recently was attacked and killed in prison.
Watkins was murdered at Wakefield prison in Britain on the morning of Oct. 11.
During trial, it was revealed that the password to encrypted files on Watkins' computer was 'I F*K KIDZ,' Rolling Stone previously reported.
In December 2013, Watkins pleaded guilty to 13 charges, including conspiring to rape a child, three counts of sexual assault of children, seven counts involving making or possessing indecent images of children, and one count of possessing an extreme pornographic image involving a sex act on an animal.
The disgraced singer was sentenced to 29 years in prison.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Coast Guard security personnel fired upon a driver who was using a rental truck in what appeared to be a ramming attack at their base in Alameda, California, on Thursday night.
Anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters had gathered outside the base after hearing federal immigration agents were being housed at Coast Guard Island Alameda. The anti-ICE crowd had minor clashes with federal agents during the day, resulting in at least two arrests. A security guard working for a news crew was also reportedly attacked by anti-ICE protesters, leaving him with a gash on his face and a chipped tooth.
In the late evening after most of the crowd had left, a masked suspect driving a U-Haul was filmed driving backward toward the Coast Guardsmen several times. The security officers can be heard on the footage yelling at the driver to stop. After the driver apparently continued his route into them, the Coast Guardsmen opened fire.

The New York Knicks evidently want nothing to do with Zohran Mamdani, the front-runner in next month's mayoral election who defended the extremist slogan "globalize the intifada" earlier this year and has repeatedly been accused of anti-Semitism.
The NBA team sent a legal warning to the socialist assemblyman after he used the team's iconic branding in a campaign advertisement that not only was published on social media but aired during the Knicks' season opener on Wednesday night.
The team's blue and orange basketball logo was featured prominently in the ad — but instead of saying "Knicks," it said "Zohran." On social media, the ad was captioned, "This is our year. This is our time."
In its cease-and-desist letter to Mamdani, obtained by the New York Post, the NBA team suggested that the ad was "likely to mislead the public into believing that the Campaign is affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by, or in some way connected with the Knicks."
Per the team's demand, Mamdani's campaign removed all of the offending ads as of Friday afternoon.

The national truck driver shortage might be a myth.
Despite numerous government programs over the past several years addressing the so-called driver shortage, the issue persists, according to the American Trucking Associations, the industry's largest national trade organization. The association has claimed a driver shortage since the 1980s, estimating it to be around 60,000 drivers in 2023. It projected that the shortage may reach 160,000 by 2028.
Yet more than 450,000 new commercial driver's licenses are issued each year, according to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, and many of those drivers enter long-haul trucking. Under the Biden administration, states issued over 876,000 CDLs between January 2021 and April 2022.
The American Transportation Research Institute, the ATA's research arm that conducts studies, including analyses to support its driver-shortage claims, has received over $8 million in government contracts since 2007.
Some critics of the driver-shortage narrative contend that the real issue affecting the industry is driver retention caused by an unnatural suppression of wages and unsatisfactory working conditions, exacerbated by the Biden administration's open-border chaos. By the ATA's own estimates, the driver turnover rate is over 90%.
American truckers in the 1980s reportedly made an annual salary of more than $110,000, and today, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median wage in 2024 was just over $57,000. One report indicated that between 1980 and 2018, the industry experienced a 21% average wage decrease, while some areas of the U.S. experienced a 50% decline.
Shannon Everett with American Truckers United rejected the ATA's narrative, arguing that if such a shortage did exist, wages would be on the rise.
Another issue impacting driver retention is declining working conditions. Truckers said that many drivers are typically paid by the mile, meaning any time spent waiting to load or unload is not compensated. Drivers lose $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion in earnings to detention time, according to a 2018 study from the Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General.
Some truckers argue that these slowdowns can create safety issues, as many drivers are in a rush to get back on the road to make up for the lost wages. These logistical inefficiencies stem from outdated warehouses, a need for more warehouse workers, and the lack of any direct and easily measurable cost impact on the retailers that operate the warehouses.

And the 2025 word of the year is...... 67.
(https://i.imgur.com/rZ8NDxl.gif)
Dictionary.com has officially revealed that "67" is the 2025 Word of the Year.
The annual pick serves as a "linguistic time capsule, reflecting social trends and global events that defined the year," according to Dictionary.com.
The term's exact origin is a bit unclear. Teachers and parents began hearing kids and teenagers use the term over the course of this year, and some say it can be interpreted as another way of saying "so-so," "maybe this" or "maybe that," the dictionary states.
Dictionary.com further explained that the term is a result of classic brainrot slang, which is "purposefully nonsensical and all about being in on the absurdity."
The term "67" -- pronounced "six-seven" and never "sixty-seven," the dictionary notes -- has a vast lore. It can be traced back to Skrilla's 2024 song "Doot Doot (6 7)," while others have linked it to NBA player LaMelo Ball, who is 6 feet, 7 inches tall.
A boy now known as "The 67 Kid" also went viral earlier this year for using the term at a youth basketball game.
"It's part inside joke, part social signal and part performance," Steve Johnson, Ph.D., director of lexicography for the Dictionary Media Group at IXL Learning, said in a press release. "When people say it, they're not just repeating a meme; they're shouting a feeling."
Johnson continued, "It's one of the first Words of the Year that works as an interjection -- a burst of energy that spreads and connects people long before anyone agrees on what it actually means."

A source close to a congressional investigation of Jan. 6 said evidence has emerged recently that pointed toward law enforcement possibly being involved in the planting of the pipe bombs.
A software algorithm that analyzes walking parameters including flexion (knee bend), hip extension, speed, step length, cadence, and variance rated Shauni Rae Kerkhoff, 31, of Alexandria, Va., as a 94% match to the bomb suspect shown on video from Jan. 5, 2021. The veteran analyst who ran the analysis said that based on visual observations the program can struggle with, he personally pegged the match at closer to 98%.
Kerkhoff, who was a Capitol Police officer for four and a half years, left the department in mid-2021 for a security detail at the Central Intelligence Agency.

Nope, still stuck with my PS4. Want to get a new console but damn they're expensive.
Right now I'm playing CrossCode on PC, it's a pretty interesting game. RPG, platforming, tons of puzzles and big bad boss fights. It's sort of what you would get if you threw Zelda, Mario Brothers, Myst and Dark Souls into a blender and hit puree.

A Treasury report found that 0.5 percent of 146 million tax returns for tax year 2024 were filed via the program.

The British government has created authoritarian hate-speech legislation to prevent civilians from questioning the state's actions. They smear those who disagree as dumb, racist idiots. And they have eliminate symbols of national solidarity and pride.

Government-impersonation scams cost Americans more than $400 million in losses last year, according to the FBI.
A new government-imposter scam is targeting Social Security recipients via fake emails, letters, or texts, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Social Security Administration (SSA) said in a Nov. 12 statement.
According to the watchdog, fraudsters send targets emails with the subject line "Alert: Social Security Account Issues Detected" and an official-looking attachment titled "Suspension of Social Security Number Due to Criminal Activities," using fake SSA OIG letterheads.
"This high-pressure scam claims the recipient's Social Security number will be suspended within 24 hours and their case referred for criminal prosecution, listing several charges," OIG said. "The attachment is stamped 'Official Document' and 'Official Government Communication,' urging recipients to immediately contact the OIG using the provided number."

For the second time in just two weeks, an 11-year-old has been arrested, handcuffed, and perp-walked after allegedly creating a "kill list" at school — and both incidents occurred in the same Florida school district but involved different students in different schools. In addition, both schools are "alternative education" schools.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office said an 11-year-old male on Monday "wrote out a kill list at Highbanks Learning Center in Deltona."
The 11-year-old is "facing a felony charge of making a written threat to kill," the sheriff's office said, adding that the school resource deputy confirmed that the suspect doesn't have access to weapons.
While the sheriff's office added that "school threats are down recently," just two weeks ago — on Oct. 27 — an 11-year-old girl was arrested after writing a "kill list" at her school desk at Riverview Learning Center in Ormond Beach.
Riverview Learning Center and Highbanks Learning Center are "alternative education" schools, and both are part of Volusia County Schools.

Boise Mayor Lauren McLean is facing criticism over her statement that avoided the immigration issue when commenting on the death of an 8-year-old at the hands of an illegal alien.
Mora Gerety was trying to cross Harrison Boulevard when she was hit by a pickup truck and was killed. The truck driver was identified as Elvin Ramos-Caballero, an illegal alien from Honduras according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
While McLean offered a statement about the incident, she did not mention the immigration status of the accused.

I've seen him about one place or another a good few year but he can't me anyway, I've never seen him have a single conversation I found compelling enough to join in on :dontknow:

Amazon has started sending emails and paying out up to $1.5 billion in automatic refunds to Prime customers who may be impacted by a recent settlement, according to an update from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Monday.
In late September, the FTC secured a $2.5 billion settlement with Amazon to resolve the agency's claims that the online retail giant had enrolled millions of customers into Prime subscriptions without their consent. The settlement also resolved charges that Amazon intentionally made it more difficult for people to cancel their Prime subscriptions.

There are only three types of people worse than illegal aliens:
1. The progtard politicians who let them break the law by entering the country.
2. The snakeheads and coyotes who transport them.
3. The businesses that employ them.
A Michigan couple have been arrested and charged in a sweeping federal case that alleges they employed more than 240 undocumented workers in their plumbing business, generating tens of millions of dollars in revenue.
Moises Orduna-Rios, 36, and Raquel Orduna-Rios, 30, both of Plymouth, are facing multiple counts, including conspiracy, transporting and harboring unauthorized aliens for commercial gain, employing unauthorized workers, and money laundering, after they were arrested on Tuesday, according to a press release by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

A brand-new Pew Research Center analysis is making waves after revealing that only 61% of 12th grade high school girls intend to get married some day — a 22-point drop from 1993 when 83% expressed interest in marriage.
Interestingly 12th grade boys stayed about the same: 74% expressed expectations for future marriage, compared to 76% in 1993.
For the first time ever in this dataset, high school boys are now more enthusiastic about marriage than girls.

Well, get ready to hear more about it. Forecasters say parts of Western and Central Canada are about to feel the effects of the phenomenon that brings frigid weather in the coming weeks. And it could move to Eastern Canada.

A second man involved in a light-rail train accident on Montreal's South Shore has died.
Provincial police confirmed the 22-year-old's death on Sunday afternoon.
A 19-year-old man was also declared dead when first responders found him along the tracks early Saturday, near the train's Du Quartier station in Brossard.
Police say the accident happened around 3 a.m. Saturday, when three young men attempted to use the tracks to cross to the other side of Highway 10.
A third man, also 19-years-old, survived the accident.
The train network, the Réseau express métropolitain, acknowledged the incident in a post on social media on Saturday, writing that management was deeply saddened by what happened

QuoteWhy experts say a white nationalist rally in London, Ont., this past weekend won't be the lasthttps://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/why-experts-say-a-white-nationalist-rally-in-london-ont-this-past-weekend-won-t-be-the-last/ar-AA1R4Cvo?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=6925d35d7fe94ba5b4ce884f4c1ce972&ei=22
An apparent white nationalist demonstration on a busy overpass near London, Ont.'s downtown on Sunday afternoon is concerning for witnesses and experts who track extremist behaviour.
The scene has stuck with Londoner Dave Vermue, who was driving along Horton Street when he says he saw roughly 30 men standing at attention, masked and wearing black, waving flags on the Wortley Road overpass.
"I thought there were Boy Scouts on top of the bridge until I passed underneath, and saw what it was," said Vermue, who captured footage of the demonstration on his vehicle's dash camera. "I immediately thought of stormtroopers from Nazi Germany."
From that overpass, the group displayed a banner reading "remigration now," alongside the Canadian Red Ensign flag, the flag of Ontario and the flag of the white supremacist nationalist group Second Sons Canada, which claimed to have organized the gathering on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Second Sons is led by Jeremy MacKenzie, who also founded Diagolon, an "extremist militia-like organization," according to the RCMP. Earlier this year, he filmed himself making a Hitler salute in a video shared on Telegram.
The group is one of several "active clubs" CBC News has investigated — white nationalists that organize combat training to prepare for what anti-hate researchers say is a belief in an imminent race war.
Groups like Second Sons almost always obscure their faces and identifying features like tattoos, in some cases using Nazi symbols to that end.
The "remigration now" message brought to London, like many of the mottos used by these groups, is designed to appear less extreme than it is, according to Hazel Woodrow. She's the education program manager for the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN), which studies white nationalism in Canada.
Woodrow said it's also more subtle than banners reading "mass deportations now" displayed by Nationalist-13, a distinct active club that held demonstrations and training in London and St. Thomas this year.

Jammie Booker has been stripped of the title "World's Strongest Woman" after it was revealed that the competitor is "biologically male."
After the 28-year-old Booker won the competition in Arlington, Tex., on Monday, several competitors were sent explicit pictures and videos appearing to show that Booker is a transgender ex-porn star, according to the Daily Mail.
Official Strongman Games announced the decision to strip Booker of the title, with Andrea Thompson being elevated to first place.

When asked directly by a reporter whether he intends to remove Lakanwal's wife and children from the United States, Trump responded: "Well, we're looking at that right now. We're looking at the whole situation with family."

After a quarter of a century, one console still reigns supreme.
It has been nearly 25 years to the day since iconic photos and video of the Paris launch showed just how crazy the world was for PlayStation 2.
On November 24, 2000, crowds in Europe lined up, camped, and even pushed through crowds to get their hands on a PlayStation 2 for the first time. The launch was almost a month after the American Oct. 26 debut and signified a true consumerism-fueled riot that became synonymous with Black Friday.
The PS2 has sold an average of over 6 million consoles per year since then, or 500,000 per month, totaling more than 160 million lifetime units sold as of this November.

In 2013, Mississippi ranked 49th out of the 50 U.S. states in grade four reading achievement on the National Assessment of Educational Progress — the largest continuing national assessment of American students' knowledge and capability in math, reading, science, and writing.
In what has repeatedly been dubbed a "miracle," the state made its way up the list — to 29th in 2019 and then 10 spots higher to ninth place nationally for reading scores last year.
According to the NAEP, black students in Mississippi ranked third nationally last year among their cohort for reading and math scores; Hispanic students in the state ranked first in the nation for reading and second for math scores; and poor students in the Magnolia State ranked first for reading and second for math scores nationally.
The assessment noted that "Mississippi is one of only a few states with improved NAEP scores since 2013. In most states, NAEP scores have been falling over the past decade."

A rootless generation looks for home in dark places.
Quotefriend who works with high school students recently said to me, "I overheard a group of boys talking about 'international Jewry.'" He was in disbelief to hear these seemingly mild-mannered kids express views that, not 20 years ago, would have been considered taboo.https://americanmind.org/salvo/the-radicalization-of-gen-z/
What is going on with Gen Z?
I've written elsewhere that Gen Z is experiencing a kind of church resurgence. That remains true. But at the same time, Gen Z is one of the most polarized generations in American history.
In 2024, Gen Z—led in part by young activists like Charlie Kirk and Scott Pressler—shifted toward Donald Trump. He won 46% of Gen Z voters—56% of young men and 40% of young women. This led many to expect that a younger, more populist generation would shift the country rightward. But now, in 2025, the self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won 78% of the youth vote in New York City—67% of young men and 84% of young women. Far from being locked into any one existing political party, young people are more divided than ever.
One cause of this is what I call "Nomadic Progressivism." Kids born between, say, 1997 and 2012 have been thoroughly inundated with progressivism and identity politics from birth. They came of age amid several key developments that shaped their moral and social formation:
The passage of Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) and the legalization of same-sex marriage.
The killing of Trayvon Martin and the rise of Black Lives Matter.
The surge of transgender activism that dominated headlines in the early 2020s.
The appearance of Greta Thunberg and the new climate movement.
The explosive growth of Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, and Vine.
We could list hundreds of others, but these movements captured Gen Z's moral imagination. Each sought, in the name of justice or progress, to undermine the inherited order, replacing the inherited structures of culture with moral and social uncertainty.
Gen Z grew up bullied by progressive ideology, and until the shocking election of Donald Trump in 2016, there was no visible reaction. Society appeared to be marching unopposed toward progressive utopia. But Trump's election broke the spell. His first term was marked by protests, the rise of transgender ideology, and a wave of social revolt.
Then came COVID-19. As the Left preached "safety," Gen Z was locked inside, immersed in a digital environment, and wracked by depression and anxiety. Created for engagement and real community, young people were instead sent to their rooms and told to stay there.
This, I believe, is the key: progressivism prepared the soil for radicalization. It removed the roots—churches, families, communities—that once grounded Gen Z's moral life. It left young people searching for belonging in a barren landscape.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent most of Thanksgiving evening in handcuffs while the NYPD sorted through a "domestic disturbance" at her family's Annual gathering.
While no charges were filed, sources close to the situation say AOC was the instigator of an argument over politics that turned "dangerously violent."
"She's not a very rational person," said one of the officers on scene, "She doesn't let anyone get a word in edgewise."
Is anyone really surprised?

A convicted sex offender college professor whose criminal past made him "ineligible for legal status in the United States" has been arrested by ICE, according to a DHS press release published earlier this week.
On November 12, ICE officers arrested Sumith Gunasekera of Sri Lanka in Detroit. According to the press release, he told officers that he was employed as an associate professor at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, about 200 miles northwest of Detroit.
Gunasekera first came to the U.S. in February 1998, spent some time in Canada, and then returned to the U.S. later that year on a student visa, the press release said.
During his stint in Canada, he was arrested in Brampton, Ontario, on two separate occasions just three days apart. In the first instance, he was arrested for uttering death threats. In the second, he was arrested for invitation to sexual touching and sexual interference. He told officers at the time that the second incident involved a minor, DHS reported.
In November 1998, a Canadian criminal court convicted him of utter threat to cause death or bodily harm and sexual interference and sentenced him to one month of incarceration and one year of probation, DHS said.
In 2012, Gunasekera filed for a change in immigration status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, at which point his Canadian convictions came to light. Those convictions rendered him "ineligible for legal status in the United States," the press release said. Despite his ineligibility, Gunasekera "repeatedly attempted to manipulate our immigration system between applications, denials, and appeals," it added.
"It's sickening that a sex offender was working as a professor on an American college campus and was given access to vulnerable students to potentially victimize them," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "Thanks to the brave ICE law enforcement officers, this sicko is behind bars and no longer able to prey on Americans. His days of exploiting the immigration system are OVER. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, criminals are not welcome in the U.S."

Sanctuary city policies continue to shield criminal illegal aliens amid the Trump administration's ongoing effort to ramp up deportations.
The Department of Homeland Security revealed Monday that there are thousands of known criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated in New York City that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is seeking to remove from the country.
"We're seeing that these criminal illegal aliens are exiting the jails and going back on to New York, or Chicago, or these other sanctuary streets to re-perpetuate their crimes," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News.
"Today, in New York City's jails are 7,169 criminal illegal aliens," McLaughlin continued. "We're talking about hundreds of murderers, hundreds of sexual predators, drug traffickers, the worst of the worst."

The Trump administration's crackdown on illegal drug smuggling has reportedly prompted an economic collapse of one Venezuelan city.
Güiria, a port city dependent on the smuggling of illicit narcotics and other contraband, is facing economic challenges following the Trump administration's strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats.
The administration has launched numerous strikes in the Caribbean Sea in waters close to Venezuela in an effort to end the trafficking of drugs into the U.S.
"As we've said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be 'lethal, kinetic strikes,'" Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated. "The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization."
Güiria, a port city dependent on the smuggling of illicit narcotics and other contraband, is facing economic challenges following the Trump administration's strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats.
The administration has launched numerous strikes in the Caribbean Sea in waters close to Venezuela in an effort to end the trafficking of drugs into the U.S.
"As we've said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be 'lethal, kinetic strikes,'" Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated. "The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization."

Nearly 30 years ago, Congress recognized that the country could not litigate its way out of an immigration crisis.
As part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, bipartisan majorities created expedited removal for anyone who failed to prove two years of physical presence in the United States. Anticipating a cottage industry of defense attorneys forcing the government to prove duration of unlawful stay, Congress also stripped federal courts of jurisdiction to review expedited removal orders.
Three decades passed with little enforcement. Now, after that long dormancy, federal judges have begun reviewing cases they have no statutory authority to hear and are attempting to block President Trump from using expedited removal nationwide.

Three teenage girls were rescued by family members from a sex trafficking ring after they went missing from a sleepover in Connecticut, according to police.
The 14-year-old girls left the sleepover on May 1 with friends and ended up at a home in Hartford, where police said they were sexually assaulted by 19-year-old Donovan Dunn and four other men.

The Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, achieved national prominence last year when it launched what it deemed "Heterosexual Awesomeness Month."
Well, the Old State Saloon once again is managing to poke at the left — this time offering free beer for a month to all those who help Immigration and Customs Enforcement capture and deport illegal immigrants.
The bar's Saturday X post reads, "ALERT: Anyone who helps ICE identify and ultimately deport an illegal from Idaho gets FREE BEER FOR ONE MONTH at Old State Saloon!" :crampe:

For all of human history, the four-stage debt cycle has remained the same: Discipline leads to economic prosperity; prosperity creates complacency; complacency tees up excessive spending; excessive spending turns into debt, which reaches a breaking point, necessitating discipline and restarting the cycle.
This has been true for every great empire the world has ever seen.
While the rise and fall of nations is nothing new, what is happening right now in global economics, says Glenn Beck, is indeed new — and it should terrify everyone.
I haven't seen this video by Glenn Beck yet myself.

The U.S. Department of Transportation said it may withhold up to $30.4 million in federal highway funds from Minnesota for improperly issuing commercial driver licenses to non-U.S. residents.
The department gave Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz 30 days to revoke the licenses and come into compliance after a federal audit.

The city of Seattle's progressive ideology is set to clash with Islam during the FIFA World Cup next June.
Lumen Field in Seattle is scheduled to host six World Cup games in 2026, and the city's organizing committee is planning a special gay-pride game for June 26.
Announced in October, the committee is dubbing the game the "Seattle Pride Match" and has even procured gay art from fans through a contest meant to be used in Seattle's "citywide celebration."
However, after the World Cup draw finally happened on Friday to determine the tournament groups, the gay game is likely to run into ethical problems after it was decided who the two combatants will be.
The June 26 game will showcase a Group G matchup between two Muslim nations where homosexuality is prosecuted: The Islamic Republic of Iran and Egypt.
