A Maryland mayor has been arrested and charged with distributing revenge porn online, prosecutors announced Monday. Andrew Bradshaw, the 32-year-old mayor of Cambridge on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, is accused of posting nude photos of a woman he was no longer in a romantic relationship with. Bradshaw posted the photos using multiple Reddit accounts he created using variations of the woman’s name and birthdate, according to a news release from the Office of the State Prosecutor. The photos were captioned with racial slurs and sexually explicit language and were posted in April and May, authorities said.

As you all know I've been tracking this case for a long time. I am a federal employee and as such I have a lot of interest in Liberty Counsel's case for the military, federal employees and contractors. Unfortunately there isn't much to report. A minute entry was indicated on this website: Navy Seal 1 vs Biden but unfortunately unless you have an account nothing can be downloaded. However I was able to get a screenshot before the pay window came up and the only thing the document says was this: PROCEEDINGS: Preliminary InjunctionAll parties present and identified for the...

Russia has orchestrated the deployment of special operations troops to the northern border of Belarus to see how sudden surges of migrants to the area are straining neighboring NATO countries' ability to respond, a source familiar with local governments' assessments tells U.S. News – the latest development in Moscow's troubling campaign of destabilization against Europe. It was not immediately clear whether the commandos came from Russia or from Belarus, says former U.S. Army Europe Commander Ben Hodges, who says senior officials in Latvia believe the deployments are at least for reconnaissance, if not some other form of nefarious distraction. The...

The Biden administration is preparing to sell off more than 80 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico to oil and gas drilling companies in the largest federal offshore drilling auction in U.S. history—less than a week after the UN climate change conference COP26, where nearly 200 nations promised to reduce fossil fuel emissions. The annual Gulf of Mexico lease sale is planned for November 17 in New Orleans. The 80 million acres on sale is expected to produce around 1.12 billion barrels of oil and 4.2 cubic feet of natural gas over the next 50 years. The controversial auction...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — On the surface, it looked like prosecutors’ easiest task at Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial would be convicting him of a much less significant charge — being a minor in possession of a firearm. Rittenhouse was 17 when he shot three people, killing two, with a semi-automatic rifle on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a protest against police brutality last year. Prosecutors brought multiple charges against him, including first-degree intentional homicide, attempted homicide, reckless endangerment and the firearm possession count.

Mary Bowden, an ear, nose and throat doctor at Houston Methodist Hospital, says vaccine mandates are wrong. It's a sentiment she has tweeted about numerous times this month, even declaring last week that she is "shifting my practice" to focus on treating unvaccinated patients. Bowden has also used her personal Twitter account to promote the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a treatment for the coronavirus, despite warnings from public health officials advising people not to take it. But those opinions have come at a professional cost. Bowden, who recently joined the hospital's medical staff, has been suspended for "spreading dangerous misinformation"...

When we think about the term, medical experimentations, most people often form a natural association with Frankenstein (or other famous works of science fiction), inhumane animal testing, or the Nazi's horrific work done at Auschwitz and other concentration camps. The name in and of itself sends shivers down the spines of normal people because no one wants to be used as a human guinea pig. Given the atrocities associated with the Nazis (Mengele, Clauberg, Himmler, et. al.) and the Japanese (Unit 731) extensive practice of experimenting on their prisoners, a major ethical dilemma arose after the war during the Nuremberg...

Thus far, we have looked at a number of different aspects regarding the final human kingdom coming upon the earth. In part one, we addressed the globalist’s schemes they are planning for the world in the coming decade. In part two, we looked at the reawakening of European leaders to once again, take on the mantel of a global superpower. In both, we addressed this mystery of lawlessness that seems to become more pervasive by the day. Today, we will look at the ideology and belief systems for how they take us from where we are today, to where will...

The 41-year-old discussed backlash against his own projects in a lengthy profile with The New Yorker. Miranda received some hate for his musical film “In The Heights” where he was slammed for lacking Afro-Latinx representation. He explained to the publication that he understands that critics will have opinions about his movies regardless of his high success. “Once something has success, you’re not the underdog trying to make it happen anymore,” he said. “You have to graduate past the mindset of, like, it’s a miracle I got something on the stage. Because now that is expected of me. And people go,...

President Biden on Monday signed into law a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill at a boisterous ceremony outside the White House, sealing a major accomplishment of his first term. Weeks of talks and two trips to the Capitol from Biden culminated earlier this month in a bipartisan vote, with the House passing the bill 228-206. Thirteen Republicans crossed the aisle to support the measure, and six progressive Democrats bucked Biden and party leaders to oppose it.

And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. ( Judges 15:14-16)Samson had been arrested and turned...

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger holds Kyle Rittenhouse's gun as he gives the prosecution's closing argument at the Kenosha County Courthouse in Wisconsin on Monday. A Wisconsin prosecutor on Monday called Kyle Rittenhouse a gunman with no “honor” or “legal authority” to kill two men during protests last year in Kenosha. Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger challenged Rittenhouse’s claim of self-defense in gunning down Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, on Aug. 25, 2020. “So consider, for example, whether or not it’s heroic or honorable to provoke and shoot unarmed people,” he told jurors in closing arguments....

Apocalypse . . . now?For the past two weeks in Glasgow, Scotland, world leaders have gathered at COP 26, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, to listen to the same message: Disaster is just around the corner.“The world has to step up, and it has to step up now,” former President Barack Obama said. “When it comes to climate, time really is running out.”Professional yeller Greta Thunberg demanded the United Nations declare a “systemwide climate emergency,” and force countries to take action.Press accounts were similarly Chicken Little-esque. If developed nations don’t phase out oil and gas and give $100 billion...

Officers received a call late on Sunday night from a distressed woman who said “a possum was holding her hostage” at her home in the South Island city of Dunedin. “When she would exit her house and attempt to reach her car, the possum would charge at her and she would flee inside,” Snr Sgt Craig Dinnissen said. When the police arrived and approached the front door, a juvenile possum came out of the dark and climbed an officer’s leg. Dinnissen suspected it was either an escaped pet or had recently been separated from its mother. Maurice the pet Possum...
