Clint Butler, a UK fugitive, escaped from the HMP Spring Hill open prison in Buckinghamshire in November 2020. He was originally serving a 17-year sentence for robbery and firearm possession, but the allure of the first-person shooter was too much for Butler, who was arrested after coming out of hiding to purchase the game.

They questioned their choice to go shopping despite lockdown mandates, to which Butler replied, "I’ve...

During our reprise of some favorite Kathy classics of mine in recent weeks, there passed the fifth anniversary of Alan Rickman's death and what would have been his seventy-fifth birthday. I regret that he did not live to be an "old" actor, because he would have been very good at it. There are those who assume his languid tones were an affectation, but they were in fact his workaround for a childhood speech impediment arising from an immobility in his jaw. Life handed him elocutionary lemons, and he made very lucrative lemonade. I have seen women swoon at the sound...

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming might be popular with members of Washington, D.C.’s elite class after she’s attacked former President Donald Trump in recent months, but it doesn’t look like that popularity matters where it counts: with her own voters. In the weeks since Cheney voted with Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to impeach former President Donald Trump, her popularity has waned and she’s now attracted at least two serious primary challengers. One of those challengers, Wyoming state Rep Chuck Gray, recently told Just The News that it’s time for his state’s voters to “Get rid of Liz...

But I also realized that I failed in a lot of ways to really ask for what I needed," James told CBS News' Michelle Miller.In the aftermath of George Floyd's killing, she took...

...Tom's ability to communicate logic and wisdom compatible with conservative values proved to be equally powerful and entertaining in songs with titles like "No Lives Matter" and "People Are Stupid" that have unforgettable lines about controversial topics like abortion — "They say that bacteria is proof of life on Mars, but a heartbeat isn't proof of life on Earth? Weird."... When I heard those lyrics, I had to stop the song and backtrack so I could listen more carefully to those words of wisdom a second time. Tom MacDonald is clearly not afraid to speak out in defense of Christianity...

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's extensive military career has not only prepared him for the roles diplomacy and deterrence play in American foreign policy, but for how to tackle head-on the issues of race and extremism in the military he said on ABC's "This Week" Sunday. Overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate as President Joe Biden's defense secretary, Austin overcame initial concerns raised by members of Congress about the nomination of another recently retired military leader in the job. But Austin said his 41 years in uniform have helped him not only appreciate "the complexities of combat," but the importance of diplomacy...

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves told the media this week, “I do think it's really important that the City of Jackson start collecting their water bill payments before they start going and asking everyone else to pony up more money." As the governor gave that lecture on March 3 in his state’s capital city, thousands of homes near where he sat in Jackson were without even non-potable water to flush their toilets, and not a single home in the city limits had access to safe drinking water we could use without boiling first. The Monday before Reeves’ flippant remark about the...
