PLYMOUTH, Mass. (WJAR) — The jury deliberating in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court had a question Friday, but it was not immediately clear what they asked. Live coverage of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Court came back into session a little after 10 a.m., and the question was apparently discussed and answered at sidebar. The judge made no mention of it, and court went back into recess as deliberations continue. Clancy of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial in the strangulation deaths of her three young children -- Cora, Dawson and Callan -- in 2023. The central...

Photo by Amy Harris/Invision/AP Somebody save him ... from himself. Country music star Jelly Roll has decided a good portion of his audience can take a hike. The “Son of a Sinner” singer, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, stunned audiences when he guest-hosted on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this week and delivered some particularly sharp criticisms of President Trump. These weren't light-hearted jests from late-night comedy of years gone by either, as RedState's Brad Essex covered. It was DeFord, reading jokes written for him by Kimmel's TDS-addled staff. Barking on stage like a trained seal about the President only...

Jerry Sandusky is due to return to court next month as one of his accusers is expected to recant his testimony against the former Penn State assistant football coach who was convicted of sexually abusing boys for more than a decade, according to an affidavit. A judge scheduled an evidentiary hearing for Sept. 8 in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. Sandusky, who is now 82, has been serving a decades-long prison sentence after he was convicted in 2012 of abusing boys. An accuser known as Victim 10, who testified for the prosecution at Sandusky's trial, is now prepared to tell the court Sandusky...

Incredible to watch! This complete timelapse captures more than eight hours of complex manoeuvring as Starship 40 is recovered at Christmas Island. Watch the heavy-lift ship FORTE ballast down into the water and rise again, while the Normand Ranger, barges and smaller support boats work together to carefully bring the rocket safely aboard for its journey back to the United States. A quick note to my regular subscribers: Don’t worry—this isn’t becoming a space channel! Wildlife photography & photography tutorials will remain my focus here. But when a recovered Starship appears practically in my backyard, it’s far too extraordinary not...

Troy Jackson, has not yet agreed to appear at the debates, which would all be hosted by local news outlets. “We believe any debates should be town hall debates — with Mainers in the room asking the questions that matter to their families,” Jackson spokesman Dan Gottlieb said.

And by “suicidal” I mean that. Had Harris won, the country would be in complete and total freefall. Economic. National security. You name it. As you’ve come to expect, I’ve got all the receipts. Let’s revisit the “Biden” (i.e., Obama and his apparatchiks) Hall of Shame. 1. Halting the border wall and reviving catch-and-release. On Day One, wall construction was stopped, parts of it sold off pennies on the dollar, and billions in Congressionally-appropriated funds rerouted. Simultaenously, the Border Patrol was ordered to let people walk right into the country instead of detaining them. Every smuggler and criminal in the...

The CEO of Buc-ee’s says the beloved convenience chain will focus expansion on conservative states as the beaver-themed brand faces scrutiny over its repeated trademark lawsuits. Arch “Beaver” Aplin III, also the Texas chain’s co-founder, made the remarks last week during the grand opening of Buc-ee’s first Arkansas location in Benton. "We have a lot of opportunities. We're growing. We're building in a lot of places, but when you find a conservative, business-friendly state with a phenomenal workforce, it makes a difference," Aplin said in a video shared by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders on social media. "And I'm starting...

Peter Cullen, the Canadian voice actor who starred as the heroic Optimus Prime in a convoy of Transformers films, TV shows and video games and as the gloomy Eeyore in dozens of Winnie the Pooh projects, has died. He was 85. Cullen died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, his agent, Kevin Motley, told The Hollywood Reporter. He “passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family — and held in the hearts of his many friends and countless fans worldwide,” his family said in a statement. They ask “that you honor his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and...

The most formidable challenges facing establishment Democrats in November’s midterms are the success of far-left, socialist, or progressive candidates in primary elections and mainstream Democrats’ surrender to that wing of the party. Alongside advocating for an agenda that is radical in its drive to reshape America – and is broadly unpopular – the DSA’s influence has left Democrats on the wrong side of an issue that the party has been hobbled by in the past: transgender policies. Simply put, the DSA’s strong opposition to legislation banning biological males from competing in women’s sports has come to define where the national...

It was a long time second-coming. After years of searching, Italian archaeologists have discovered an ancient site that matches a Bible description of where Jesus Christ was buried, per a preliminary study in the Jerusalem archaeological journal Liber Annuus. “We have found evidence of a funerary landscape,” lead archaeologist Francesca Romana Stasolla, of the “La Sapienza” University of Rome, told the Daily Mail as part of an exclusive article. The researchers had been excavating Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a fourth century Roman Church that was built over a holy site where many Christians believe Christ was crucified, buried...

Two air traffic controllers left work early the night an Air Canada regional jet smashed into a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport, killing two people in March, according to reports. The Federal Aviation Administration is moving to fire the two controllers who left work about an hour before their shifts ended on March 22 — leaving two remaining controllers to handle more than twice the usual volume of traffic on the night of the deadly collision, the Wall Street Journal first reported. That evening, the Air Canada regional jet barreled into the Port Authority fire truck while it was crossing...

Here’s a headline that you might not be surprised to see today: “Have The Democrats Been Lost To Socialism?” Only it wasn’t written today. Issues & Insights crafted that headline way back in 2016, when it was already clear the Democrats had moved sharply leftward. Today’s extremist Dems are no different; they’re just more obvious about it. “Polls show a shocking number of Democrats, in particular young ones, find socialist ideas not merely acceptable but preferable to capitalism,” I&I wrote then. “It’s hard to imagine a more stunning indictment of our schools.” That still stands up pretty well today,...

Left or right, taxpayers shouldn’t have to subsidize political activism they oppose, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is drafting plans to ensure they don’t by revoking tax exemptions from bogus political “charities.” As The Post’s James Franey reports, Bessent and the IRS are taking a hard look at the conduct of up to a dozen or so high-profile lefty nonprofits — including George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Council on American-Islamic Relations — with an eye toward possibly revoking their tax-exempt status. That could mean a $165 million windfall in new tax payments from...

Donald Trump has unleashed his own bizarre personal ranking of former American presidents. Unsurprisingly, Trump, 80, put himself at the top of the list as “The Greatest” of all time in his Thursday Truth Social post. A generous Trump also declared former Presidents Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson to be “Great”, but not on his elite level.

Maybe he thought it was strip steak? A Houston dad got a shocking surprise when a DoorDash driver delivered food to him and his daughter while as naked as a jaybird. Kiante Matlock said he was inside his home playing video games with his daughter Monday when he got a phone notification alerting him the order had arrived. But when he checked his Ring camera, he realized to his horror that the driver who dropped off the food was stark naked. The incredible footage showed the driver, who had shoulder-length dreadlocks, placing their order on the front porch and then...

One ideology is premised on faith in Allah, and the other on faith in government, but what they share is that once you check in, only death gets you out. Classical Islamic law treats leaving the faith as a capital offense with no statute of limitations. The doctrine rests on a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari, “whoever changes his religion, kill him,” and legal manuals such as Reliance of the Traveller, codify apostasy as a capital crime. Abdul Rahman discovered the doctrine still had force in 2006. He was arrested in Kabul that February for converting from Islam to Christianity sixteen...

An Atlanta woman who participated in a scheme that defrauded Amazon out of nearly $10 million was sentenced to over 16 years in federal prison on Wednesday, the Justice Department announced. The US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia said in a release that Brittany Hudson was sentenced to 16 years and three months in federal prison after she and her partner used a business relationship with Amazon to defraud the e-commerce giant. Hudson was convicted in March of 30 felony offenses that involved wire fraud, money laundering, related conspiracy charges and a count related to the forgery...
