Police in Florida arrested a man and held him in jail for nearly three months based on a bad facial recognition result. It's far from the first time such a thing has happened—in fact, it's at least the second time that the same sheriff's office was involved, according to Action News Jax. In April 2025, a man in Jacksonville, Florida, purchased a car from someone he met in a grocery store parking lot. When he learned the car was stolen, he reported the crime to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Using surveillance footage from the parking lot, investigators ran the suspect...

A woman was arrested Thursday after police say she tried to run over a man and woman with her car at a Florida City intersection last May. According to arrest reports, Tangela Wright, 51, was driving westbound on Davis Parkway and attempted to make a left turn onto Northwest 6th Avenue on May 9, 2025 at approximately 5:30 a.m. At the same time, according to the report, a man and woman were crossing the street within a marked crosswalk. As Wright entered the intersection, the report said she accelerated, drove into the oncoming traffic lanes, and struck the male victim...

The Chinese planned to stoke Black Lives Matter riots and other social unrest in 2020, using the corporate media to launder the narrative in order to tank the election for President Donald Trump, according to documents released by the White House on Thursday. Intelligence summaries from 2020, which were apparently hidden from the president at the time, show that the Chinese planned on “encouraging violent demonstrations and looting to increase the appearance of social unrest” ahead of the election, and to “exploit U.S. societal fissures and vulnerabilities,” in part by “alleging that White people hate Black people.” The Chinese were...

Does anyone know who this guy is?? Dr. Mark Brauner? Any Freepers in the medical field who ever heard of him or watched his videos? I came across him tonight and spent quite a lot of time watching his videos, and I came to the conclusion the guy is - to put it blunt - utterly full of sh** although I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Every video is basically the same - Israel bashing, genocide accusations, Israelis are killing children, Israelis are mass murdering innocent people - always the children, the children - always Israel, yet...

Video shows a DoorDash driver completing her delivery despite being hit by a car that was fleeing from police in Houston. The surveillance video from July 8 shared by a neighborhood resident shows the delivery driver pulling up in front of a home and beginning to get out of her car. At the same time, sirens can be heard in the distance. While standing outside of her vehicle, another car being pursued by Houston police strikes her and her car. She told police she thought he was going to turn but didn’t. The suspect then gets out and runs away....

United Airlines is preparing for customers who may object to flying into an airport named for President Donald Trump, and reservation agents have been authorized to move those passengers to Fort Lauderdale or Miami without charging more. United Will Let Customers Avoid “DJT” Airport And Fly To Miami Or Fort Lauderdale Instead United Airlines is giving reservation agents unusual flexibility to accommodate customers who no longer want to fly to West Palm Beach after the airport was renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport. According to an internal memo shared with Live And Let’s Fly, United is the process of...

The number of federal jobs in the DMV area has fallen by just over 60,000, from nearly 376,000 at the start of President Trump’s second term to 312,500 in May.

Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) is considering running for a full-term in the United States Senate, as she was sworn in this week to finish the term of her late brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, until January.

A receipt checker at a Florida Sam’s Club has been accused of letting a man walk out with stolen televisions and other high-end merchandise nearly 50 times — in a con pilfering $58,000 in goods. Brenda Jacqueline Gayle Archer, 57, manned the door of the wholesale store in Sunrise, Fla., and would rubber-stamp the receipts of Troy Sidney Lawrence, 36, after he bought low-priced items and used the receipt to walk out with high-ticket items, NBC Miami reported, citing arrest records. Archer, of Lauderhill, and Lawrence, of Sunrise, were arrested Tuesday for the “recurring scheme in which the same male...

Once again it is time to get silly!

Dived into a mountain of doo all for a Mountain Dew. The whacko who had to be cut out of a porta-potty toilet bowl by Kansas City firefighters in a viral video had been trapped inside the john for eight hours after crawling into the waste holding tank to retrieve his fallen soda bottle. The man said he had gone fishing in the portable toilet for his fallen Mountain Dew when he somehow ended up fully inside the facility’s raw sewage tank, according to a representative for Patriot Portable Restrooms, which provided the porta-johns for a World Cup event. Patriot...

The Flagler County Sheriff's Office has accused a Florida man of coming up with a plan to beat his court-ordered drug test. Executing what on paper might look like a good plan proved to be difficult. His first mistake was climbing behind the wheel on July 14 and driving to submit his urine sample. A deputy stopped James Shepard, 52, as he pulled in, because according to the sheriff's office, his license is suspended. That's a violation of the felony probation he was serving for multiple burglaries and thefts, News 6 reports. He was arrested on charges of violating probation...

James Franco recently disclosed an alleged encounter with the extraterrestrial he's claimed has visited his residence in several prior social media posts. Over recent weeks, the 48-year-old Spider-Man movie trilogy star has been posting videos claiming he was being tracked after the visit. James hadn't provided any proof of the incident with his followers until now, stating in his latest video, "You wanted it. Here it is. I deliver." His monochrome footage showed an alleged being moving through the shrubbery, peering into his residence, and emerging from a garage in his backyard. This followed James's insistence that an "alien" was...

Senators will no doubt yield this one back without objection. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared to break wind on the floor of the chamber this week, even suppressing a light chuckle after the now-viral delivery. The 75-year-old was criticizing President Trump and the war in Iran when he seemed to have lost a war of his own that was brewing in his trousers, letting loose an audible fart that went out live on C-SPAN airwaves Tuesday. “Now on Iran and the NDAA,” Schumer said before seemingly cutting the cheese in a viral clip first isolated and shared by The...

Viewers may have to do a little hunting or channel-surfing if they want to watch tonight’s controversial address to the nation from President Donald Trump. ABC and NBC will opt to stream Trump’s speech at 9 pm EST on their streaming platforms, rather than carry it live on their networks. ABC says that it will broadcast a special report when the speech concludes. “ABC News will run President Trump’s speech on ABC News Live and ABC News Radio with comprehensive, anchored coverage,” an ABC News spokesperson says. “We will also cover the speech in our regular network newscasts and, as...

@ZiaYusufUK Tahir Andrabi, a spokesman for Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has told the BBC that Pakistan will not take back the Rochdale Monster, Shabir Ahmed. So why did the Tory Labour uniparty send them £6 billion of your money?
