A distraught Bronx dad said the final words “With God, with God, with God, here comes the train” before jumping in front of a subway car while holding his 5-year-old daughter, who miraculously survived, his wife revealed Tuesday.

Fernando Balbuena, 45, spoke those chilling last words in Spanish — “Con dios, con dios, con dios que alli viene el tren” — to wife Niurka Caraballo in a phone conversation that sent her running out of the couple’s Grand Concourse home to the nearby Kingsbridge Road station Monday morning, only to find it was too late.  Continue reading “Chilling last words of dad who jumped in front of train with daughter in arms”

Relatives of people killed in the 2012 shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a Batman movie sent a letter to Warner Bros. expressing unease about “Joker,” an upcoming film that has divided critics with its lurid, violent take on the comic book villain.

“When we learned that Warner Bros. was releasing a movie … that presents the character as a protagonist with a sympathetic origin story, it gave us pause,” the five family members say in the letter, according to a copy shared with NBC News on Tuesday by the group Guns Down America.  Continue reading “‘Joker’ backlash: Aurora shooting victims’ families express concerns to Warner Bros.”

I hope the alarmists who terrified Greta Thunberg with scares about a global warming apocalypse are ashamed of themselves. They’ve now seen this troubled girl’s naked fear as she cried and ranted at the UN climate meeting. Shame on the likes of Tim Flannery, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and UN boss Antonio Guterres. My editorial from The Bolt Report. Continue reading “Child Abuse: Shame On The Fear-Mongers Who Made Greta Thunberg Cry”

After all was said and done, the events surrounding the Storm Area 51 meme—which went viral over the summer, drawing in millions of RSVPs on Facebook—appear to have been little more than hot air and social media buzz, as a few hundred alien enthusiasts and revelers partied near the secretive U.S. military base in a largely uneventful manner.  Continue reading “The US Military Threatened to Bomb “Millennials” Who Storm Area 51”

Jasper, GA — If you still have any doubt that police are here just for your protection, the following video should be enough to convince you otherwise. An entirely innocent man, Charles A. Spradlin had committed no crime, had harmed no one, and was on his own property when two Georgia State Troopers illegally stopped him, kidnapped him, and stole his vehicle. The gross violation of rights was captured on video as the two troopers discussed the various ways to accomplish their illegal goals. The trooper’s conduct is now the subject of a federal lawsuit.

Chinese scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabling 500 megapixel cloud camera system able to capture thousands of faces at a stadium in perfect detail and generate their facial data for the cloud while locating a particular target in an instant.

Most Chinese experts welcomed the camera system’s military, national defense and public security applications, although some expressed data safety and privacy concerns.  Continue reading “Scientists invent super camera”

Though by now Washington appears no closer to military strikes on Iran than it was before the Sept. 14 Saudi Aramco attack, a joint statement by Britain, France, and Germany has brought the kind of international allied consensus the US administration is looking for.

The three European countries announced it was “clear” Iran was responsible for the twin aerial strikes on the facilities, however, stopped short of calling for any military retaliation, instead urged Iran to reengage negotiations on its nuclear and missile programs. The statement does warn of “risk of a major conflict” and underscores making “collective efforts towards regional stability and security” which includes bringing the Yemen war to an end.  Continue reading “UK, France, Germany Say It’s “Clear” Iran Attacked Saudis; Johnson Backs New ‘Trump Deal’”

On 10 September, 2019, Colorado Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) offered an amendment to the proposed bill to create federal grants for  “Red Flag” bills in the House of Representative. The amendment was offered in the Judiciary Committee.  Representative Ken Buck’s introduction of the amendment occurs in the first minute and ten seconds of the video on C-Span. “Red Flag” bills allow police to confiscate guns from people with a mere accusation they may pose a threat. In Red Flag bills, there is little due process.
An accusation is sufficient. No court appearance by the accused, or confrontation of witnesses, is required.  There is no presumption of innocence. To regain their rights, the person accused has to prove they are “not* a danger. They may incur thousands of dollars of court costs to regain the property that was taken from them without due process.  Continue reading “Democrats Won’t Include Gang Members in “Red Flag” Laws”

The national farm to school movement has grown so fast that it is challenging traditional notions of city planning, and a Clayton County preschool is at ground zero in the conflict.

The Little Ones Learning Center in Forest Park has a nationally recognized garden-based education program. In 2015, it merited a visit by then-first lady Sandra Deal, who watched the children tasting fresh juice. “It was a treat to see your early learning center practicing good nutrition with a bountiful garden,” she wrote in a letter to the school.  Continue reading “Preschool growing fruits and veggies ordered by city to stop sales”

The Banditos walked around the East Los Angeles sheriff’s station handing trainees empty envelopes with a request: By the end of the day, fill them with money.

They’d sometimes get up to $2,000 at a time, so-called “taxes” they’d later use for a vacation to Thailand and other personal expenses.  Continue reading “Sheriff’s deputies sue county, accusing Banditos colleagues of beatings, withholding backup”
