    A small Ohio pizzeria is gaining nationwide attention after their hiring sign seeking “non-stupid people” went viral. The owner of Santino’s Pizzeria joined “Fox & Friends” to discuss his eye-catching effort to get quality applicants at his Columbus restaurant. “The intention behind the sign was to use humor to funnel more applicants to us and, you know, set aside from the other businesses in the area,” Rob said Friday. “We have not had much luck traditionally on Monster or Indeed, or even flags in a front yard bringing people in. So we just thought it’d be something more untraditional, and...

    A man in his 80s died after he was savagely mauled by three dogs including several pitbulls in the west side of San Antonio on Friday afternoon. Firefighters arrived just after 1:45pm to what has been described as a 'horrific' scene where the man was being dragged by the vicious animals as emergency services go to the scene. The firefighters were forced to intervene using their pickaxes in order to get the dogs and release their grip. Two other people including an elderly woman were also hurt during the attack with one bit on the hand. 'As they rounded the...

    Horrific footage released by police shows a wheelchair-bound woman slurring and pleading with police as she is arrested for refusing to leave hospital, just moments before she died from a stroke in the back of a cop car. Knoxville Police have released their body camera video of the harrowing incident which happened at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, in Tennessee, on February 6. Lisa Edwards, 60, had been refusing to leave the hospital and was arrested on trespassing charges when she died in the back of the police cruiser – minutes after telling cops 'you're going to kill me'. The...
  • Mega-prison in El Salvador for 40,000 suspected gangsters – which has only 80 beds for every 100 inmates - welcomes its first new inmates with vow 'You will never walk out of here'

    A mega-prison in El Salvador has opened its doors for its first 2,000 inmates of suspected gang members - who upon their arrival found out there are not enough beds for everyone and there are no mattresses at all. The facility is designed to house 40,000 suspected gangsters and the security minister for the Central American country warned inmates they 'will never walk out of here'. The move to the high-tech prison follows President Nayib Bukele's 'war' on crime. Bukele tweeted that 'at dawn, in a single operation, we transferred the first 2,000 members to the Center for the Confinement...

    Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's decision to release 41,000 hours of video from the Jan 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol has struck fear into some leading Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called it "a grave mistake. There were very good reasons why former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) declined to make these videos available for public viewing. I can't tell you why she refused to air them, but trust me, she had good reasons. The American people have to have faith that their government is looking out for their best interests. Widespread viewing of these videos could...
  • Migrant shot dead by Arizona rancher, 73, was cartel drug smuggler, says ex Border Patrol chief... as prosecutors DOWNGRADE charges from 1st to 2nd degree murder amid growing public outrage

    The migrant shot dead by an Arizona rancher on his land last month was likely a cartel drug smuggler or scout, according to a former Border Patrol chief, who says the area is known for 'violence'. George Alan Kelly, 73, was arrested on charges of first degree murder for shooting Gabriel Cuen-Butimea on January 30 at his home. That charge has now been downgraded to a second degree murder charge. He denies the murder, insisting he only ever fired warning shots when he saw what he perceived to be a gang of cartel smugglers on his land. Former Border Patrol...

    Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly - who is charged with murdering a Mexican migrant by shooting him dead on his land last month - was released from custody Thursday on a $1million surety bond secured by his ranch. Family members for Kelly, 73, have been able to raise over $350,000 on GiveSendGo, a Christian alternative to GoFundMe after the mainstream crowdfunder took pages Kelly's pages down. Kelly was in custody on a single murder charge for shooting Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, on January 30. He told police and border patrol agents that he fired warning shots when he saw Cuen-Butimea and at...

    A newly-hired nurse has been fired after a father filmed her slamming his newborn baby boy face-down into a bassinet at a hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. The two-day-old named Nikko was born at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, Long Island, and was under the care of the NICU being treated with antibiotics when the horrific attack happened. Nikko's father, Fidel Sinclair, had gone to check on his baby and started taking a video of him crying through the window of the nursery when he witnessed a nurse pick up his son and forcefully turn him around, slamming him...

    A 3,000-year-old toddler's shoe from the Bronze Age, dating from between 888 and 781BC, has been discovered in a north Kent riverbed.A comforting fact is since then at least 62 billion people have come and gone on Earth and many have likely also faced the same shoe problem that parents today often scratch their heads about.The rare Bronze Age 15cm leather shoe is thought to be the oldest found in the UK and was found by archaeologist Steve Tomlinson, 51, as he was mudlarking in September.Mr Tomlinson, from Ramsgate, Kent, didn't think much of the find at first but sent...

    In a video from June of 2021 that is going viral, a 15 year-old student from Rosemount High School in Minnesota explains to the local school board how the embrace of Critical Race Theory in education has made things worse for students. In his speech, he describes his first day of high school, when the principal praised multiple racial identities to the student body while neglecting half of the audience that looked like him, noting that in doing so, the principal was pitting students against each other for things they can’t control. He talks about a teacher who praised socialism...
  • Finally a vaccine to banish Covid for good? Nasal spray reduces risk of infection 86% — nearly DOUBLE protection given by shot in arm

    A nasal vaccine that could finally curb Covid infections is one step closer to a reality after promising early trial results. The inhaled vaccine, made by researchers in Georgia, successfully reduced the risk of symptomatic Covid infections by 86 percent for three months in people who received it as a booster - almost double the protection the mRNA boosters provide. While still in early stages, it is an exciting development that could prove more effective than the booster doses administered as injections. The nasal, or ‘mucosal’ vaccines are appealing for their ability to prime immune cells in the mucous membranes...
  • Rockstar Energy founder lists stunning Utah ski property - complete with bowling alley, an indoor sports court, a golf simulator and a ski room - for whopping $50 MILLION - less than a year after buying it for $39.4M: 'It's never been slept in'

    The billionaire creator of Rockstar Energy has listed for sale a property in Utah for $50 million - less than a year after he officially acquired it for $39.4 million. Russ Weiner, 53, founded the drinks company in 2001 but sold it to Pepsi in 2020 for a deal worth more than $4 billion, according to Forbes. This luxurious six-bedroom, 11-bathroom ski house may have been an impulse purchase, however, as Weiner says he hasn't slept a single night there and reportedly said the stunning property was 'better than new'. The 17,500 square-foot house sits on on five acres of...

    Editorial Note: It has been my thesis that the ousting of James O’Keefe by the Project Veritas board was an act intended to destroy the organization itself, or to at least bring it to heel on orders from the globalist elite cabal, including Pfizer. I have no evidence of this other than piecing together what is publicly known. It’s just a gut feeling that I’m sure many people share. That’s why the video below put together by the Project Veritas staff is a nice sentiment but will ultimate not lead to a positive result within Project Veritas itself. Their best...

ODNR director Mary Mertz announced Thursday that roughly 38,222 minnows and about 5,550 other aquatic animals — such as small fish, crayfish, amphibians, and macroinvertebrates — were killed in the 5-mile span of waterway from the derailment site.

    Nearly a decade after its inception, momentum behind China’s sweeping Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) appears to be slowing as lending slumps and projects stall—forcing Chinese President Xi Jinping to again rethink a floundering initiative that he once hailed as his “project of the century.” After doling out hundreds of billions of dollars, experts say China’s lending for BRI projects has plummeted, largely a casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic and the country’s own economic slowdown. Support has also waned as partner countries drown in debt and fractures emerge—literally—in projects, fueling uncertainty about the future of the sprawling initiative. In 2022,...
