LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A Las Vegas tourist said she is planning to file a lawsuit against a tattoo shop after she received a tattoo from an artist who did not have a valid body art card. The tourist, from British Columbia, Canada, asked to be identified only by her first name, Melissa. “I think I’m ashamed of myself and embarrassed,” Melissa said in an interview via Zoom with the 8 News Now Investigators. Melissa said in April, she went to Illuminati Tattoo, just off the Las Vegas Strip with her son for his 17th birthday after checking reviews...

The Biden administration is doing an end-run around the nation’s immigration laws — by giving migrants work permits in record numbers. Since President Biden took office, more than 3.3 million migrants have been given a Employment Authorization Document (EAD), commonly known as the federal work permit, even though many didn’t even legally have the right to be America. And as of February of this year, pending EAD applications stood at an another 1.4 million. In many cases, migrants are given the right to work before they are even given asylum, a green card or other legal documentation that allows them...

In many countries, one category of human beings don’t even have the right to show their face – that’s apartheid, and it should be the social justice issue of our time.

While the push for next generation fighters probably wins more public and internet attention, the drive to field new bomber aircraft with sixth generation features is also pushing the limits of what aircraft designers can accomplish. And with the first flights of the B-21 Raider now documented, it may also be a race far closer to the finish line. In this episode I look at the three main members of the strategic bomber club, their next generation bomber programs, and ask both what these systems might mean, and why they seem likely to serve alongside much older, legacy platforms.

Caitlin Clark has brought unprecedented attention to women’s basketball. And plenty of women’s basketball players seem to resent her for it. Clark took an away-from-the-ball cheap shot, possibly preceded by this message from her assailant: “You’re a bitch.” It’s a bizarre situation, to say the least (The more responsible move is to not escalate the situation, and to let the powers-that-be handle it. It remains to be seen whether the powers-that-be will.)

Human activities affect the Earth’s climate through modifying the composition of the atmosphere, which then creates radiative forcing that drives climate change. The warming effect of anthropogenic greenhouse gases has been partially balanced by the cooling effect of anthropogenic aerosols. In 2020, fuel regulations abruptly reduced the emission of sulfur dioxide from international shipping by about 80% and created an inadvertent geoengineering termination shock with global impact. Here we estimate the regulation leads to a radiative forcing of Wm−2 averaged over the global ocean. The amount of radiative forcing could lead to a doubling (or more) of the warming rate...

Ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen admitted during a fiery cross-examination in Donald Trump’s criminal trial he “stole” $30,000 from the Trump Organization after he was given funds to pay a tech firm—but although Trump’s lawyers are touting the admission, Cohen likely will not face charges, multiple New York criminal defense attorneys told Forbes. Cohen admitted he held on to $30,000 from $50,000 he was supposed to use to pay a tech company called Red Finch on behalf of Trump—an admission Trump’s defense attorneys are hoping will harm his credibility before the jury, as Cohen is a key witness in the trial...

Even the notorious RINO and former presidential candidate Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah is denouncing the sham conviction of President Donald Trump. In a rigged trial orchestrated by New York Democrats in conjunction with the Biden White House, Trump was found guilty of all 34 charges of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment made to adult porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. Romney, who makes no secret of his disdain for the former president and has tried to sabotage him at every turn, argued that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg should never have let the...

More than half of the 17 House Republicans whose seats are up for grabs in districts President Joe Biden won in 2020 have so far remained mum on Donald Trump's conviction, reports the Hill. Others who haven't weighed in include Reps. Mike Garcia, Michelle Steel, David Valadao, John Duarte and Young Kim of California, Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and David Schweikert of Arizona.

For Google Chrome and its two-billion-plus desktop users, May will go down as a month to forget: four zero-days and emergency update warnings inside ten days, launched a tidal wave of wall-to-wall headlines that were hard to miss. The US government has warned federal employees to install May’s emergency updates or to cease using Chrome. And they have issued a June 3 deadline for the first of those updates to be applied. It’s now June 1, and so this is a timely reminder that you should ensure you have updated Chrome inside the next 72 hours. Others organizations should do...

President Donald Trump is set to be sentenced on July 11, four days before the GOP convention, and there's every indication that crooked Judge Merchan will impose jail time, as much as one year. Why not declare Trump the official nominee now? Hold a virtual nominating process with the chairman of each state delegation, then follow up in Milwaukee on July 15th for a ceremonial celebration. Why wait?

LEBANON, TN — In an attempt to right the ship amid financial struggles and grow its customer base, restaurant chain Cracker Barrel announced it will be rebranded as Hispanic, Black, and Cracker Barrel. The company's decision to rebrand came after several difficult years for the business as it continued to wrestle with a variety of obstacles, including inflation, an aging clientele, and an apparent lack of people across the country in need of rocking chairs or old-timey home decor and crafts that were popular a century ago. "We need to cast a wider net for customers," said Cracker Barrel CEO...

Rising rent prices, a housing struggle, high tax rates, and overcrowding are common issues in many of the cities that top this year’s move-out list. Los Angeles returns in the number one spot, followed by major metropolitan cities (and repeat offenders) like San Francisco, Miami, and Long Island, NY (part of the greater NYC area that PODS services). Unsurprisingly, these cities are also some of the most expensive metro areas in the country.

Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon wasn't a big hit when it was released in Japan, but when it won a Golden Lion at the 1951 Venice Film Festival it opened the floodgates for Japanese cinema into the cinemas and film festivals of the west. No less than Ed Sullivan wrote that "the direction, the photography and the performances will jar open your eyes," and within a year films by Mizoguchi and Ozu joined Fellini, Bergman and Rossellini in the art houses. It took barely ten years from Hiroshima and Nagasaki and VJ Day for Japan to go from vicious, possibly subhuman enemy...

“The hour is much later than you think…on multiple fronts: Financial, political, medical and geopolitical.” — Edward Dowd. In the pre-gloat hours before the verdict in Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom, Lawfare caporegime Andrew Weissmann (“Mueller’s Pitbull”) confessed Valley Girl style from his MSNBC clubhouse perch, “. . . I mean, I am, like, now I have a man-crush on him, he is such a great judge!” Bromance on, looks like! If the two happen to frequent the same athletic club in downtown Manhattan, Judge Merchan better be careful in the post-workout shower when he bends over to pick up the...
