A truck driver has lost control of his vehicle in Bavaria. The truck drove driverlessly in a serpentine way through a construction site, against crash barriers and over warning barges. The police tried to draw the driver’s attention with flashing lights. Without checking his tractor-trailer and in critical health, a truck driver left a more than 30-kilometer-long path of destruction on Autobahn 3. The 48-year-old had lost control of the truck late on Saturday evening “apparently due to a medical cause,” the police said. During the entire journey through Lower Franconia, the vehicle collided with the guardrail several times and...

Republican congressional candidates hold their largest lead in midterm election vote preferences in ABC News/Washington Post polls dating back 40 years, underscoring profound challenges for Democrats hoping to retain their slim majorities in Congress next year. While a year is a lifetime in politics, the Democratic Party’s difficulties are deep; they include soaring economic discontent, a president who’s fallen 12 percentage points under water in job approval and a broad sense that the party is out of touch with the concerns of most Americans; 62 percent say so.

Who was the former federal prosecutor named Michael something that was just on FOXnews that gave statements supporting conviction of Kyle Rittenhouse. Said his testimony was all scripted and the crying was a fake and he should be found guilty of murder in two of the shootings and that the guy that pointed his pistol and tried to grab his gun had a right to try to take his gun.... THIS WAS ON FOXNEWS AT 11:30 AM CT THIS MORNING 11/14/2021. The jury is not secluded and is home and may or may not be watching news and reading and...

New data reveals the epidemic of car break-ins in San Francisco is worsening. Betty Yu reports it has gotten so bad tourists are being told not to rent cars in The City.

I consulted my Magic 8-Ball and the answer is: I am totally amazed watching the Biden juggernaut destroy Ameria in only 10 short months. I am an old guy and I thought that I had seen everything but I have never observed a sitting US president intentionally destroy his own country. Some US presidents made great decisions (Abraham Lincoln) and some made horrific decisions (LBJ-Vietnam) but all of them loved America. All presidents swear an Oath of Affirmation to the best of their ability, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Then, WRECK IT BIDEN slithered...

Friday night is a great night to go out with friends, drink, eat, play around, and generally goof off. It’s decidedly not a night that most Americans pay attention to the news. The government knows this, which is why they usually announce really bad news on Friday night. Such was the case this past Friday evening when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced a shocking 14.5% increase in Medicare premiums for seniors. It’s OK, though, says the government. Social Security has increased its payments to seniors by 5.7%, so everything is going to be alright. Is it? Bideninflation...

It’s been a year of sacrifice, social distancing and skyrocketing stress. Can we at least enjoy holidays? In terms of risk, the timing of the holiday season couldn’t be worse. The coronavirus is raging across the country, setting new daily infection records. More than 300,000 Americans have died of Covid-19, and small gatherings are believed to be fueling much of the spread. While public health officials caution against family and friends gathering in each other’s homes, they know many people plan to spend the holiday together anyway. The solution? A scaled-back holiday celebration — with open windows, fewer people and...

The free ride is finally over for a Long Island man who went more than two decades without paying a penny on his mortgage — while courts failed to evict him. Guramrit Hanspal, 52, bought the three-bedroom, 2.5-bath East Meadow home in October 1998 for $290,000, with $58,000 down. He made the first mortgage payment of $1,602.37, and then never paid again. The house was foreclosed upon in 2000. Over the years, Hanspal filed four lawsuits and seven bankruptcies, cases which automatically pause any attempt to evict. He even claimed COVID-19 financial hardship, court records show. Other occupants of the...

Sheriff Joe Lombardo shows a commanding lead in the Nevada gubernatorial Republican primary roughly one year out from the midterm elections, according to polling done by a pro-Lombardo PAC. Lombardo currently shows a double-digit lead over his closest opponent, Dean Heller — a former senator and one-time Nevada Secretary of State — who he was trailing in the polls roughly four months ago. Thirty-seven percent of the respondents said they would vote for Lombardo, while 19 percent said they would vote for Heller. However, in July, Heller was in the lead with 27 percent, against Lombardo’s 22 percent. Meanwhile, the...

KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine said on Saturday it would speed up the construction of a naval base at the port of Berdyansk to prevent what Kyiv calls a gradual attempt by Moscow to take control of the Sea of ​​Azov that flows past Russian-annexed Crimea.Ukraine's newly-appointed defence minister announced the plans after a trip to Berdyansk that followed Western warnings this week about Russian troop movements near Ukraine's borders and a possible attack.Russia has dismissed as inflammatory suggestions Moscow might be weighing an attack and accused Washington of aggressive moves in the Black Sea where Ukraine and the United States...

For deer hunters this time of year, checking trail camera photos can either be a frustratingly tedious chore or as exciting as Christmas Eve. If your SD card is filled with does and dink bucks, you groan. But then, every once in a while, your cameras capture unique, once-in-a-lifetime images. New England bowhunter Dave Morel recently got some of those. No, they weren’t photos of the next world-record whitetail, but rather of a big bobcat which let curiosity get the best of him. The bobcat leapt and climbed to impressive heights. But ultimately, the scent dripper survived the encounter.

Video Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt3vns42Nd8From Youtube: The message coming out of China is getting louder by the day. It doesn't like other countries, especially Australia, ganging up and meddling in its affairs. As we know Beijing is currently doing its best to punish us economically, but in the last few days President Xi Jinping has also ratcheted up the rhetoric by warning of the perils of a new cold war. A loose translation is if we don't stop poking the panda, we'll face serious consequences. Now it's worth taking the threat seriously because Xi controls the largest military force in the world,...

PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Some Peoria community leaders are fighting what they call a “spiritual war.” Saturday, Nov. 13, various Peoria clergy, school and community leaders held a panel at Peoria’s Greater City of Refuge Worship Center to address black-on-black crime in the city. Some called the recent uptick of violence in the city a “black genocide.” “Now with a record-setting number of homicides, we thought that it’s time to revisit this event with the war of black genocide in the black community,” said Agbara Bryson with the Annie Malone Center for Development and organizer of the panel. The purpose...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on Sunday that Steve Bannon’s indictment will encourage others to cooperate with the House select committee's investigation of the Jan.6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. “Without a doubt. And indeed, even before the Justice Department acted, it influenced other witnesses. ... And now that witnesses see that if they don't cooperate, if they don't fulfill their lawful duty when subpoenaed, that they, too, may be prosecuted, it will have a very strong, focusing effect on their decision making,” Schiff told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in a new interview said the COVID-19 pandemic is the cause for the record inflation increase the U.S. is seeing nationwide. Asked by host Margaret Brennan on Sunday in a pre-taped interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” if she is confident prices for the average American will be back at normal levels by next November, Yellen said it “really depends on the pandemic.”

The mask debacle was probably the first big mistake that confused people on a wide scale and created broad skepticism. The decision to advise people to isolate at home was another big mistake, according to many independent scientists. We now know that even CDC acknowledges most Covid is spread in the household. Instead of having people stay home and arresting those surfing by themselves at the beach, our public health officials should have encouraged people to get outdoors. Instead of closing parks and beaches, they should have advised people to go to them. Some scientists knew this on the front...
