A woman who poured a mix of boiling water and sugar over her husband to "extract vengeance" after a family row has been found guilty of his murder. Corinna Smith, 59, attacked 81-year-old Michael Baines while he was in bed at their home in Highfield Road in Neston, Cheshire, on 14 July 2020. He suffered extensive burns and died five weeks later in hospital. Smith denied murdering her husband of 38 years but she was found guilty by a jury at Chester Crown Court. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Smith, who was also her husband's carer, had been involved...

Joe Biden brought a set of cheat cards with him for his sitdown meeting with Vladimir Putin today. Because nothing exudes strength and confidence like a good set of cheat cards!

The affidavit says as the group Tabb was in walked by the other group, Tabb said, “What y’all wanna do? Y’all wanna fight?” A minor from the other group replied with, “it’s whatever,” and then the affidavit says that’s when Tabb pulled out his gun and started shooting. The same juvenile said Tabb shot him in the leg a few days before in Killeen, the affidavit said. A police report from Killeen police supported the juvenile’s claim that Tabb was the primary suspect in that shooting, as well. Another minor police interviewed said the group immediately starting running away and...

Having a real culture that you practice yourself, vs. just being force-fed ersatz-culture by social media, is an impediment to the plans of the Masters of the Universe (hence, why the Freepers who do their own music & other arts & active lifestyle initiatives are so important). Antonio Gramsci was a very important theorist about bringing about revolution thru tearing down culture. (And Stella Morabito writes about how subversive it is to have strong personal & social intimacy.) The 2,100 billionaire oligarchs (Gates, Zuckerberg, Dorsey & Bezos), the gargantuan corporations like Blackrock and the politically agnostic Technocracy, approve of the...

In his Monday interview with NBC News, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the U.S. government of assassinating Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran whom Capitol Police shot during the January 6 riot. Putin referenced Babbitt’s death, without using her name, when NBC’s Keir Simmons asked if he ordered the assassination of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny. Navalny was nearly killed with a nerve agent while flying from Siberia to Moscow in August 2020, recovered after treatment in Germany, and was jailed upon returning to Russia in January 2021. Agents of Russia’s FSB security service have been implicated in the attempt on...

Bergoglio’s Unholy War on Sanctifying Grace“For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?” (Mark 8:36).Consideration of these words from Jesus should be enough to convince any rational person to do everything possible to save his or her soul. And, of course, such a rational person will want to know what is required to save one’s soul. As the Catholic Church teaches, we must die in a state of sanctifying grace to save our souls.Dr. Ludwig Ott’s Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma lists several de fide truths relating to sanctifying...

Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis just torched critical race theory (CRT) by calling it “poison” that he’s happy to have banned in his state. This took place on last night’s interview with show host Sean Hannity who discussed critical race theory with the big red state governor. Sean Hannity got it started off by saying: “You said the woke class wants to teach kids to hate each other rather than teaching them how to read. We’re not going to let them bring nonsense ideology into Florida schools. You love the state; you love the country. And it’s unthinkable: There are...

The United States is pursuing every avenue to ensure that countries suspend or roll back discriminatory digital services taxes, but will keep tariffs as an option if that does not happen, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday. Yellen told the Senate Finance Committee she had engaged in “very constructive” bilateral conversations with the Irish finance minister on the issue, and believed the entire European Union would ultimately support an increase in global minimum taxes, as proposed by the United States. She said she was hoping for progress on the tax issue, which is being negotiated under the leadership...

NEW YORK, NY—The New York Times called The Babylon Bee dangerous far-right misinformation but has now retracted that claim and issued a correction after reviewing the data and admitting The Babylon Bee actually has a really high accuracy rate in predicting the future. "We are sorry we called The Babylon Bee misinformation," the Times wrote on its corrections page. "After further review, it's clear The Babylon Bee is reporting real news just a few days ahead of time. The stories just keep coming true." The Times said it did a study on Babylon Bee stories and found that while the...

The pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Southeast Calgary has been arrested for holding church services and “flouting” pandemic health orders, despite only 951 reported cases across all Canada yesterday. Disturbing footage of Pastor Tim Stephens being hauled into a police cruiser as his horrified children looked on, sobbing uncontrollably, circulated on the internet yesterday.

Four centuries and one year after the Mayflower departed from Plymouth, England, on a historic sea journey to America, another trailblazing vessel with the same name has set off to retrace the voyage. This Mayflower, though, is a sleek, modern robotic ship that is carrying no human crew or passengers. It's being piloted by sophisticated artificial intelligence technology for a trans-Atlantic crossing that could take up to three weeks, in a project aimed at revolutionizing marine research. IBM, which built the ship with nonprofit marine research organization ProMare, confirmed the Mayflower Autonomous Ship began its trip early Tuesday.

Spiking inflation seems to be the new normal under President Joe Biden’s administration, and the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news continue to protect him from negative coverage. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported June 15 that the anticipated Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand in May increased at a whopping 6.6 percent annual pace. The increase was “the largest increase since 12-month data were first calculated in November 2010,” according to BLS. On a monthly basis, the PPI increased at 0.8 percent in May. Fox Business reported that “[a]nalysts surveyed by Refinitiv had expected prices to increase...

Chaos erupted Wednesday at the summit between President Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin as reporters from both countries pushed each other, yelled and talked over the world leaders’ remarks. Some reporters blocked the TV cameras while others yelled at each other while the two presidents made their opening statements, rendering the leaders’ words inaudible. Politico’s Anita Kumar, a pool reporter covering the Geneva summit, called the media scuffle “the most chaotic” event she’s seen in nine years of covering presidential events.

Check out camera 5 and the tables in the background. It appears that most of, if not all of the counting is complete (tables in the background). In the foreground of camera 5 it appears they are inspecting ballots and taking photos of both sides of each ballot. I have no idea the purpose of this, but there are two rows of tables that line the entire length of the area doing this.

Now anyone caught collaborating with the sun must be brought to bear. You may think that coed laying on the beach is relatively harmless, but in fact she may be guilty of: Blackfishing. As described by Pema Bakshi in Beauty Crew magazine, it is a problem. “Blackfishing is a relatively new concept...and does not exactly mean to necessarily mock qualities of BIPOC people, but rather seeks to emulate those identifiers." So, yes, this is a crime. If you are white and benefit from a tan, you are reaping the rewards of being a darker person without paying the dues, i.e....

Citizen Trump (a new book and film) teaches the “Donald Trump method,” a way to overwhelm the media, crush your enemies and advance your agenda. Just as there were Reagan conservatives and Kennedy Democrats, a new generation of Trump Republicans will be on the scene for decades to come (from Don Trump Jr. to Ron DeSantis to many of you (75 million strong).Here are ten ways to carry out the mission like Citizen Trump:Speak so people remember your words. The media instantly...

To be misquoted is an occupational hazard of political leadership; for this reason I should like to clarify my position in regard to the Palestinian issue. I have been charged with being rigidly insensitive to the question of the Palestinian Arabs. In evidence of this I am supposed to have said, “There are no Palestinians.” My actual words were: “There is no Palestinian people. There are Palestinian refugees.” The distinction is not semantic. My statement was based on a lifetime of debates with Arab nationalists who vehemently excluded a separatist Palestinian Arab nationalism from their formulations. When in 1921 I...

The U.S. manufacturing sector is getting battered by high levels of inflation of the costs of inputs that businesses are struggling to pass on to consumers. The prices of materials and components used by manufacturers rose in May by 2.4 percent compared with April, a blazing hot level of inflation rarely experienced before the current bout of rising prices.
