A son who was told his ‘missing’ dad had died more than 40 years ago has exhumed the body – and found they buried the WRONG person. Mark Wells, 52, has spent decades wondering what really happened to his dad, Dale Wayne Wells, who disappeared aged 38 in February 1985. After becoming frustrated at a lack of answers from the authorities, he paid to get his dad’s remains exhumed in the hope that new DNA could help solve the mystery. But Mark was stunned when the results came back — and revealed the man he buried and mourned as a...

Terrence speaks his mind on the Karmelo Anthony case

Schools are letting out, and whether you've got kids or not, something about this time of year still hits differently. Summer stopped being a vacation for most of us a long time ago — but try telling that to the part of your brain still wired to Press Your Luck ("No Whammys!") and the smell of a freshly opened Slip 'n Slide. Core memories are funny that way. Once they're in, they're in for good. '80s Summers Meant Home By the Streetlights, Gone By Morning For a solid ten weeks a year, you roamed your little universe without anyone —...

Austin Metcalf's dad, Jeff, just unloaded on Karmelo Anthony. "We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things." "I said from day one, this was never about race, please don't politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color. "You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today." "People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts....

Yes, my flame-retardant suit is on, but this is an honest question. What has happened to the two right sidebars here that used to be very good sources for TRULY breaking news stories? I've seen FReepers try to post actual breaking stories there, and some moderator deletes them from the sidebar, until all there is over there on Breaking News is commie Sunday television talk show posts. What has happened? I know Jim is gone, but I also know that this site needs money support. Crushing the breaking news sidebars is not a good way to get support.

LOS ANGELES, CA — California election officials reminded voters over the weekend that there are just 30 days left to mail in their vote for the Los Angeles mayoral election that happened last Tuesday. With the in-person portion of election day over, officials made sure voters knew that they have just 30 days left to cast their votes by mail before officials start counting ballots to determine a winner. "Only one more month, everyone," California election official Kari Schwimmer announced. "I can say with authority that we will absolutely cut things off right around then. Unless we don't."

Everyone knows you call the cops when you're in trouble. Not everyone knows that you can also call the cops when you're in trouble with the cops. According to [Florida Highway Patrol], a trooper conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for speeding on I-75 by Corkscrew Road at around 7:49 a.m. The driver, identified as Luis Marin Gonzalez, 26, refused to provide ID, became agitated, and then put his window up. Marin Gonzalez then called 911 mid-traffic stop, and the call went through to the Lee County Sheriff's Office, FHP said. You gotta give him credit for originality. Most...

Collins initially supported the SAVE America Act in February. But when Sen. Graham tried to get the measure passed by using an amendment to bundle it into a budget reconciliation/immigration funding package, she voted against it. The issue was that it was reportedly combined with other controversial elements in the broader package. If Collins maintains her support for the bill, the remaining holdouts include Sens. Murkowski, Tillis, and McConnell.

President Trump confirmed Tuesday that Iran shot down the American Apache attack helicopter that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, vowing to respond to Tehran’s latest act of aggression. “I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack,” he added.

Despite intensified diplomatic messaging, both sides have warned they will retaliate if attacked again, leaving the region in a highly unstable standoff where deterrence and escalation risks remain tightly intertwined.

Republican, Trump-backed candidate Steve Hilton won the second of two spots in the California Governor’s Primary race on Monday evening, nearly a week after election day. Decision Desk called the race for Steve Hilton on Monday evening after another mail-in ballot dump favored Democrat Steyer – but it wasn’t enough to put him over the finish line. Hilton will face off against Democrat Xavier Becerra, the former Health and Human Services Secretary for Biden. Becerra has 27.66% to Hilton’s 25.10 %, according to Decision Desk.

I'm starting to think diversity is not, indeed, our strength. Surprisingly, the Police Service of Northern Ireland was quick to admit that the suspect is Somali. Normally, the police and media would report the suspect as a "Belfast man" in a situation like this! The victim not only had his throat cut, but according to reports, had at least one of his eyes gouged out by the Somali man. Here's one witness testimony from the BBC, which also reported that the man is "believed to be Somali": A resident told BBC News NI how she was in her home when...

"Bass has a real race on her hands, if in fact Raman is the one who advances," he said. "And the Democratic establishment is backing Karen Bass. But versus Spencer Pratt, she was crushing him. She wanted to face Pratt. She wanted nothing to do with Raman. That's why these conspiracy theories simply make no sense, people."

Rosie O’Donnell will not go under the knife again. At Sunday’s Tony Awards 2026, the former talk show host was asked whether she plans to have any more cosmetic work done after fessing up to getting a facelift. “No, I don’t think so,” she told E! News on the red carpet. O’Donnell, 64, told the outlet that she decided to go public with her plastic surgery because she wanted to be genuine. Last month, O’Donnell shared before-and-after photos of her transformation, saying that she felt “shameful” about the surgery because of how much she spent on it.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Sunday slammed the exclusion of LGBT cops from walking in uniform with their guns at Manhattan’s Pride March — before participating with a group in Queens’ version. “Once again, they banned NYPD officers from marching in full uniform later this month,” Tisch said of the Manhattan organizers. “That decision is as hypocritical as it is a slap in the face to the New York City Police Department and to the spirit of pride.”
