man convicted and sentenced to three counts of rape in March was free to rape again and rape again he did (allegedly). JPD arrested Jermaine Bradley and charged him with statutory rape, aggravated assault, sexual exploitation of a minor, and felon in possession of a gun. Bradley allegedly shot his girlfriend in the stomach. He confessed to it all in court today. A Jackson Municipal Court judge denied bond for Bradley. Unfortunately, Bradley has quite a criminal record. The Hinds County grand jury indicted him for no less than three counts of sexual battery and one count of gratification of...

VIDEOWatch as Jerry Lewis announced in December 1963 that his television talk show was being cancelled. Jerry didn't give the real reason but by his body language and the very subtle hints between the lines he gave us it is more than obvious WHO was responsible for his show's cancellation.

If you have any doubt that the European Union is devolving into a soft totalitarian state, think again. I have been sounding the alarm bells about the developments in Europe for as long as I have been writing at Hot Air, and some of you may have thought me an alarmist engaged in hyperbole. I am alarmed, of course, but by real threats to freedom. The latest assault on freedom--not just in Europe, because the EU and Great Britain are using their criminal and regulatory powers to suppress speech in the US as well as other countries--comes with the breaking...

SAN DIEGO, CA — Authorities have launched an ambitious operation to drop a massive dome over the San Diego Convention Center to keep the Comic-Con smell contained. With the stench already overpowering neighboring communities, local officials requested help from the federal government to combat the unbearable odor. "We've never smelled anything like this," said San Diego police chief Don Whitting. "It's a warzone out there, and frankly, we're losing the fight. Our goal at this point is containment. That dome is our only hope of making it out of this thing alive. We've already lost a lot of good men...

A 100-year-old veteran raised in Wisconsin is taking in his first EAA AirVenture. Colonel Joe Peterburs’ career is one worth highlighting -- serving in three wars, shooting down various enemy planes and surviving as a prisoner of war (POW). He's at AirVenture in Oshkosh celebrating with a restored replica of his World War II B-51 Mustang -- complete with the name Josephine, after his late wife.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino on Saturday revealed there is a Deep State investigation going on behind the scenes. Bongino, referring to the weaponization of intelligence operations, said what he has seen has shocked him to his core. “I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned,” Bongino said on X. Full statement from Bongino: During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening. The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has responded to Barack Obama’s pathetic attempt to distance himself from his treasonous actions during the Russia Collusion Hoax. .... Snip.... This morning on Fox and Friends Weekend, Gabbard fired back at Obama in epic fashion. WATCH:

In 2008, California voters approved a $9.95 billion bond measure to construct a high-speed rail system between Los Angeles and San Francisco by the year 2020. Seventeen years later and 1300% over budget, Gov. Gavin Newsom claims that "the project has met every obligation and we are now fast approaching the track-laying phase." President Trump questioned "whether a project that was supposed to be completed by 2020 can honestly be said to have met every obligation' seems dubious. The original promise made to voters was that the trains would've been carrying passengers for the last five years. Now Gov. Newsom...

No one, especially the president, is above the law. No one is above the law. Nobody is above the law!

Yesterday, in the warm, cozy, Sunshine State climate, “Todd Blanche, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s top deputy, concluded a second extraordinary day of interviews with Ms. Maxwell,” the article explained. In other words, after years of Biden Administration stonewalling (and file padding), Ghislaine Maxwell got a two-day DOJ interview faster than Little Caesars could deliver a jailhouse pizza. And not just any random DOJ interviewer, either. They didn’t send some junior prosecutor with a legal pad who used to work for Maurene Comey.

The Maude family has maintained a grazing allotment with the U.S. Forest Service Buffalo Gap National Grasslands since the inception of the agency. Charles and Heather Maude have carried on the practices implemented by generations before them, including irrigating the river bottom to grow a feed crop. After the USFS alerted them that a small segment of land might be fenced incorrectly for ownership, they were indicted for theft of federal property. Those charges have been dropped, but a solution to the original issue has not yet been determined. ... Charles and Heather Maude no longer face the threat of...

Nobody saw this coming. I mean nobody. Yesterday, the Times ran another electrifying story headlined, “After Ghislaine Maxwell Interview, Concerns Mount Over Possibility of a Trump Pardon.” Pardon concerns mount! In the passive voice! By themselves!

Did you know ancient Rome was "sustainable"? Romans probably didn't use that exact buzzword, but apparently, they were recycling pioneers. When they weren't creating a mountain made out of garbage, that is. As someone who's been to Italy recently, I can tell you that that legacy of recycling lives on. Frankly, it's a mixed bag. If fact, the convoluted waste disposal system in that beautiful Mediterranean peninsula is the perfect embodiment of the current state of Europe. Garbage in, garbage out In America, you take your trash, and you throw it in the can underneath the kitchen sink. Then, when...

The U.S. Air Force made a “strategic blunder” in 1991 by choosing the YF-22 over the more advanced YF-23 prototype. The YF-23 was a more futuristic design, prioritizing the all-aspect stealth, speed, and range needed for modern, beyond-visual-range combat.The Air Force, however, being risk-averse, chose the more conventional and maneuverable YF-22 (or F-22) because it clung to outdated dogfighting dogmas.

In the case of Novak, et al. v Federspiel, the Saginaw County Sheriff’s Office seized fourteen guns from a cabin where a domestic violence event occurred. The cabin’s owners waited until the domestic violence case was completed. Then the owners of the cabin, who are relatives of the person charged, asserted the guns belonged to them and asked the Sheriff to return them. The guns were first taken in 2017. The Sheriff refused to do so, saying, in part, the owners had not provided proof they owned the guns. Some of the guns were manufactured pre-1968 and were not made...

Over several days, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has declassified and published government documents that she says "verify that the alleged Russia-Trump collusion during the 2016 election was a hoax concocted by Democrats to undermine both the Trump campaign and the Trump Administration. Assessments by the intelligence community and forwarded to President Obama found no evidence of collusion between the Russians and Trump. Yet, President Obama dismissed this finding and insisted that a collusion meme be pursued. This was used to justify unwarranted surveillance of American citizens and a media campaign to cast suspicion on Trump." Former President...

After I saw Oliver Stone’s movie JFK in 1991, I began reading books on the JFK assassination. As the years went on, I gradually became persuaded that the assassination was actually a highly sophisticated regime-change operation on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment, i.e., the Pentagon and the CIA. But I never felt that the evidence was sufficient to persuade me beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the standard of proof in a criminal case. Then I read Douglas Horne’s five-volume book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board. By the time I finished reading that book, I knew beyond...

Demilitarization and regime change might be in the cards...The latest clashes between Cambodia and Thailand over their decades-long border dispute, which were arguably initiated by the Thai military to restore its damaged prestige amidst a recent political scandal as explained here, could “move towards war” according to its acting Prime Minister. Thailand doesn’t recognize the International Court of Justice’s 1962 ruling in favor of Cambodia and rejects third-party mediation in the current conflict so the fighting will likely continue until it achieves some tangible goal.That scenario would naturally raise the question of Thailand’s endgame. It’s officially only defending itself from...
