Police in Australia responded to reports of a man screaming “why don’t you die?” by dispatching multiple units to a home in Perth.
But officers were soon told to stand down when they found a man who “had only been trying to kill a spider”, according to the police log published online. Continue reading “Australian man screaming at spider ‘why don’t you die?’ triggers full police response”
A clinical trial called “Ambrosia” seeks to discover the long-sought Fountain of Youth – and some scientists believe they’ve found it in the blood of young people.
Unlike most clinical trials, people actually paid to participate instead of the other way around. Patients over the age of 35 ponied up $8000 to take part in the experiment where they get transfusions of young blood, run by Dr. Jesse Karmazin. Continue reading “Vampire Science Believes “YOUNG BLOOD” Is the REAL Fountain of Youth”
A hacking collective known as The Dark Overlord announced on New Year’s Eve that it had broken into the computer systems of a law firm and obtained files related to the September 11 attacks – threatening to publicly release a large cache of internal files unless a hefty ransom is paid, according to Motherboard.
Dark Overlord’s demands targeted several insurers and legal firms, including Lloyds of London, Silverstein Properties and Hiscox Syndicates. It is unclear what exact files were stolen by the group, however the hacking collective tweeted “We’ll be providing many answers about 9.11 conspiracies through our 18.000 secret documents leak from @HiscoxComms and others.” Continue reading ““Pay The F*ck Up”: Hackers Threaten To Dump Secret 9/11 Attack Files If Bitcoin Ransom Not Met”
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — A group of about 150 migrants attempted to breach a San Diego border fence on New Year’s Eve, and some began throwing rocks at responding U.S. border agents who deployed pepper spray and tear gas on the crowd, authorities said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the group was attempting to climb over and under the San Diego border fence. When agents and officers responded, about 45 migrants turned back to Mexico, according to the agency. Continue reading “Border agents fire tear gas at migrants attempting to cross border illegally”

MANDAN, N.D. – Mandan and North Dakota officials say he’s a “prolific and persistent requester” who inundates local government with requests for open records and attorney general opinions.
“It’s because every time I turn over a rock, I find something else and it leads me to two more rocks,” Jordan said. “I turn over those rocks, and there they are.” Continue reading “Frequent open records requests by Mandan man catch government’s attention”

A few Kentucky cops went viral for mourning the loss of a truckload of doughnuts.
The driver of a Krispy Kreme doughnut truck noticed his vehicle was smoking on New Year’s Eve, so he called 911.

A city peace officer got suspended without pay for using handcuffs to wallop a homeless woman who had just bit her — and her union says the punishment is an overreaction to the recent viral video of a baby being ripped from his mom’s armsby cops in a Brooklyn welfare office.
Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Department of Homeless Services Officer Tiffany Randolph swinging the cuffs at Olivia Morphis after the out-of-control woman chomped down on her wrist during a Dec. 21 melee at the 30th Street Intake Center in Manhattan. Continue reading “Officer bit by homeless woman, hits back with cuffs, gets suspended: union”

CHINCOTEAGUE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, Va. — In the cold months, this barrier island is a place of austere stillness, its famed wild ponies grazing along brown marshes, their long faces reflecting in waters often skimmed in ice, their seasonally shaggy coats flickering in the chill breeze.
But the offseason calm covers a foreboding anxiety. There is a danger lurking, literally, underfoot. In recent months, several of the horses have picked up a fungus-like infection in their hoofs and legs, probably by stepping in contaminated wetlands. Seven have died, including four that were euthanized Friday at a field hospital set up to treat them on the Chincoteague Fairgrounds. Continue reading “On an island famous for wild ponies, a dangerous infection is killing horses”
SEATTLE (AP) — Washington on Tuesday joined a handful of other states that ban anyone under 21 from buying a semi-automatic assault rifle after voters passed a sweeping firearms measure in November that has drawn a court challenge from gun-rights advocates.
The ballot initiative seeks to curb gun violence by toughening background checks for people buying assault rifles, increasing the age limit to buy those firearms and requiring the safe storage of all guns. Only the age-limit portion of the measure goes into effect on Jan. 1; the rest becomes law on July 1. Continue reading “Washington bans anyone under 21 from buying assault rifles”

New York City is pulling back the New York Police Department and allowing Muslims to drive around in “Muslim Community Patrol” (MCP) cars and to enforce shariah law in Muslim neighborhoods.
The new MCP cars have been seen in certain New York City neighborhoods in a frightening example of American laws being set aside for anti-American sharia rules to take over. Continue reading “New York City Debuts Muslim Sharia Patrol Squad Cars in Muslim Neighborhoods”

While people across the world celebrated the dawning of the New Year overnight, the U.S. military thought it would be funny to celebrate and make light of one of the things they do best: dropping massive bombs on people and places.
In a since-deleted, U.S. Strategic Command (StratCom), which controls the nation’s strategic missile systems and coordinates offensive nuclear capabilities worldwide, joked that while people in New York City enjoyed the dropping of “the big ball” during the countdown to midnight, “we are ready to drop something much, much bigger.” Continue reading “‘What Kind of Maniacs Are Running This Country?’: Pentagon Rings in New Year With Joke About Dropping Massive Bombs on People”
California’s largest public utility provider could face murder or manslaughter charges if it were found responsible for causing the state’s recent deadly wildfires, according to court documents filed by the state attorney general.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co., or PG&E, could potentially face a range of criminal offenses if any of the wildfires broke out as a result of the utility failing to properly operate and maintain power lines, per an amicus brief filed in US District Court Friday by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

It seems uncanny that this young punk actually stood in front of the United States Congress, attacking America’s 2nd article rights, where hundreds of thousands of brave American soldiers died for the right to bear arms. Hogg earned this special occasion by supposedly pushing some overweight kid out of the way in the schools hallway, by supposed gunfire by a nutcase bent on killing as many students as possible. Because of this, Hogg was considered worthy enough to grant him this special session in front of Congress. Continue reading “David Hogg A CNN Tool To Kill The Second Article – Now Embraced By Harvard”
