    PLYMOUTH, Mass. – A judge declared a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial Friday on the seventh day of deliberations — but gave her defiant lawyer one hour to file an emergency appeal against the ruling. The 12-person jury – made up of nine women and three men – told Judge William Sullivan that they could not agree on whether to convict Clancy, 36, of three counts of first-degree murder.
  • Flock Cameras: Public Safety Tool or Warrantless Surveillance Machine?

    Simeon on Security ^ | 08 01 2026 | Simeon
    The debate over Flock Safety cameras divides people in a way that almost nothing else does in technology policy. Those who have had a car stolen tend to love them. Those who study constitutional law tend to hate them. Both are reacting to something real. This is an independent analysis of what these systems actually do, what the evidence says about their accuracy and misuse, and why the most important question is not whether cameras can photograph public streets — it is whether the government should build a searchable, warrantless database of everyone’s movements. This topic generated significant public discussion...

    Asking for a little help, maybe someone can give me some information. Does anybody know if the Lancey children victims had toxicology and what Temperature the children were when they arrived in the Emergency room. Was that discussed in the trial? I ask because for two of them it would establish time of death. The husband said he was gone 45 min.
  • Gun store removes private Flock camera over customer privacy concerns

    CLEVELAND, Ga. – A privately owned Flock Safety camera positioned to monitor the parking lot of a White County gun store is being removed after growing concerns over automated license plate reader technology left some customers worried about their privacy. Michael Carter, owner of Gun Commanders on U.S. 129 in Cleveland, told Now Georgia the camera was installed roughly two years ago for one purpose: to help protect his employees, customers, and business from crime. Carter privately owns the camera, not the White County Sheriff’s Office. According to Carter, it was configured to send hit-list notifications to the sheriff’s office...

    ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office deputies had an unexpected encounter Aug. 23, when they responded to a home and discovered something far from ordinary in the bathroom — a large buck. The sheriff’s office shared body camera video of the incident, giving a firsthand look at what they called a ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ moment. Armed with a pool brush, deputies managed to guide the buck safely out of the home and back into the woods - but not before the confused creature fell into the backyard pool. He eventually found his way out and back into the...

    he Justice Department is being asked to investigate whether sensitive state voter data — including Social Security and driver's license numbers — was transferred to a nonprofit tied to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in violation of federal privacy laws, according to a letter from Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin released Friday by the White House. The Department of Homeland Security first brought its concerns to the Justice Department in September 2025, Secretary Mullin wrote to Attorney General Todd Blanche in a letter dated Wednesday. It is unclear what the Justice Department did with the original information. The new letter sent...

    Gloria Steinem doesn’t have her facts straight, but don’t expect the media to call her out on it. On Tuesday, feminist activist Gloria Steinem appeared as a guest on PBS’ Tavis Smiley. During the show, Steinem praised abortion for giving her “my life” and bashed the controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood’s practice of aborted baby parts. She blamed the “attack” on Planned Parenthood on everything from the “ultra-right wing” to “patriarchy” and a “long-term racist system.” Host Tavis Smiley hailed Steinem as a “feminist icon” and “renowned social activist” before asking about her newly published book, My Life on the Road....

    I guess the Lindsay Clancy trial has put an end to that whole thing about a woman being president. Clancy has become a feminist hero for slaughtering her three children, whose names, in case anyone cares, were Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. For that brave response to “postpartum depression,” she’s attracted hundreds of female admirers, who stand petulantly outside the courthouse in pink T-shirts, demanding her acquittal. When Muslims pull this crap, blaming their gang rapes on the trauma of being asylum seekers, we’re not as understanding. But when women claim mental anguish from giving birth, we’re...

    Those who adhere to a strict "don't speak ill of the recently deceased" protocol will want to sit this one out, because your boy here is gonna unload. One of the most execrable figures to emerge from the counterculture movement of the 1960s has passed away. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem died on Wednesday at the age of 92. There is no denying that Steinem was a powerful force in American culture and that her legacy will live on. The perspective on whether any of that is good or bad exists on either side of a very wide ideological divide. The...

    When Oklahoma inmate Steve Wilbanks spoke to a reporter by phone in late July, it had been six weeks since he worked in a prison call center, placing calls on behalf of insurance companies attempting to poach business from competitors and making political calls as primary elections were underway across the country. “I had good numbers,” Wilbanks, who is incarcerated at the James Crabtree Correctional Center in Helena, said. “I was a producer.” Wilbanks was one of four inmates who spoke with reporters about the call center work. Contracts obtained via an open records request confirm that a company called...

Since 1998 FR has had an open tab on all of my desktops for frequent, hourly, reads and commenting. But. My personal visits are down to a few times a week because life changes and i don't get to my desk too often, and this site has become largely unreadable on cell phone screens.

    In the heart of Lower Manhattan, a 60-story glass skyscraper has been sitting abandoned and unfinished for years. It overlooks the East River. It leans three inches to the north. Glass panels have fallen off its facade. And nobody — not the developer, not the lenders, not the courts — can agree on how to fix it. This is 161 Maiden Lane. New York City's very own Leaning Tower. A $600M luxury skyscraper that was supposed to sell 80 waterfront condos for up to $18 million each. Instead, it became one of the most expensive construction disasters in American history...

    U.S. — New poll numbers released this week showed Lindsay Clancy surging into the frontrunner position in the race to become the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee. Clancy garnered overwhelming support from Democratic women and continued to make gains among men who hate children and wish they were dead. "Clancy 2028! Wooo!" shouted supporters outside the courthouse where Clancy was awaiting the verdict on her triple homicide case. "No one gets us better than Lindsay. Who better to fight for women's rights than a woman who stared down the system that wanted to punish her for murdering three children? She...
