Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is having a hard time meeting demand for its Cullinan sport utility vehicle, as the high-end British automaker’s biggest-ever model has proved popular with its ultra-rich clientele.

Production of the SUV, which starts at $325,000 before customization — and almost all Rolls-Royce customers go for bespoke additions — is booked solid until the fourth quarter of 2019, Chief Executive Officer Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes said.   Continue reading “Rolls-Royce Savors Blowout Demand for SUV Starting at $325,000”

The Chinese entrepreneur who founded Orchids of Asia Day Spa & Massage was seen rooting for the New England Patriots at Mar-a-Lago alongside President Donald Trump early last month.

Li Yang shared a photo of herself and a friend sitting directly behind President Trump at the event, which took place just two weeks before Patriots owner Robert Kraft would be charged with two counts of misdemeanor solicitation of prostitution for incidents that allegedly transpired at that spa.   Continue reading “Founder of massage parlor where Robert Kraft was arrested is Trump donor”

DeSoto, TX — The incremental use of police officer body cameras over the last decade has proven to be both a huge asset to police accountability as well as a source of constant controversy. Many times, police departments will simply refuse to release potentially incriminating video, while other times, officers turn them off before committing a crime. As the following case illustrates, despite being required to film all their interactions, many cops will do the exact opposite when they are about to inflict violence on compliant individuals.   Continue reading “Body Cams ‘Go Dark’ As Cops Start Beating Up Family, But Dashcam Shows the Truth”

Little Rock, AR — A deeply disturbing video was released this week showing a cowboy cop jump on the hood of an man’s car and dump 15 rounds into him—instantly killing him. The family of the victim is now trying to expose the unnecessary nature of this shooting.

On the morning of February 23, Bradley Blackshire, 30, was driving a black Nissan Altima with his friend 20-year-old Desaray Clarke when they were approached by police. Officer Charles Stark responded to the couple for allegedly driving a stolen vehicle after a stationary license plate scanner picked up the plates as stolen.

Boliver, MO — In December of last year, medical marijuana was officially legalized in Missouri—sort of. The legislation, titled Amendment 2, would establish 192 medical marijuana dispensaries by 2020. Those who need that medical marijuana now—like cancer patients, epileptics, glaucoma patients, those suffering from PTSD, and others—will still be prosecuted by police if they try to get it. As the following incident shows, police will even raid cancer patients in the hospital for using it.   Continue reading “‘Hero’ Cops Raid Cancer Patient’s Hospital Room For Treating Cancer With THC Oil”

Times of Israel

WASHINGTON —  Support for Israel in the American public is at its lowest point in a decade, according new Gallup poll released Wednesday, with a whopping decline among self-identified Republicans who said they sympathized more with Israelis than Palestinians.

Whereas 65 percent of Americans said they were “more sympathetic” to Israel over the Palestinians in 2018, 59% said the same in 2019, marking a six point drop. That decline is the biggest over a one-year period in the history of the poll, which began in 2001. The number of Americans who said they sympathized more with the Palestinians, however, went unchanged over the last year, remaining at 21 percent.   Continue reading “New poll: Americans’ support for Israel falls to lowest point in a decade”

Achille, OK — A video of the Achille police department raiding the home of an innocent family, threatening a husband and wife, and ripping a baby from a mother’s arms was apparently so disturbing that the entire department has been suspended. The actions of the officers may now lead to their termination, according to Achille mayor, David Northcutt.

“There were several issues which some felt arose in which the warrant was delivered, as well as other actions that occurred at the residence,” said Northcutt. Continue reading “Video of Raid on Innocent Family So Disturbing, Entire Police Dept Suspended”

Immediately after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forged an alliance with the fringe political group, Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power), a widespread outrage ensued.

The anger did not emanate only from the Center, Left and Arab parties, but from some in the Right as well. Even the pro-Israel lobby in the US, known for its hawkish political views, spoke out against the sinister union.   Continue reading “Why the Outrage? “Jewish Power” Party is the New Norm in Israeli Politics”
