Omaha, NE — More than a decade after Sarah Root was killed in a drunk-driving crash, her family says they finally have the justice they fought for. Root was 21 when she was killed in Omaha in January 2016. She had recently graduated from Bellevue University with a 4.0 GPA and planned to pursue a master’s degree in criminal investigations. Eswin Mejia was driving drunk and at a high rate of speed when he hit Root’s vehicle. He was released on a $5,000 bond and later fled to Honduras. After nearly a decade, Mejia was tracked down, brought back to...

A bloodthirsty lunatic was spotted roaming around Sacramento in newly released video that captured the moments before he ran into a California family’s garage and tried to brutally murder them. Sacramento police collected video of 23-year-old Fareyeshyi Allahdin’s final moments before officers shot him dead, saving an elderly mother and her grown daughter.

A beloved Texas engineer who became close friends with Fox News stars Greg Gutfeld and Kat Timpf was murdered in an unprovoked attack while sitting on a park bench, police and reports said. Andrew James Wimsatt, 62, of Austin, was slain Sept. 7 — just moments after sitting down in the park following a visit with his mother at her Round Rock nursing home, according to Fox News. Williamson County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 26-year-old Benedict Chinedu Ogbodiegwu on murder and theft charges after surveillance cameras captured the brutal 11 a.m. attack.

Today is a serious and somber day , the 25th Anniversary of the most evil attack on America since Pearl Harbor. I debated with myself if I should post another silly thread today. I decided I'm not going to let America's worst enemy ruin a fine tradition. So today's silly theme is Alien Invasion.

Police are seeking to identify protesters after several officers were injured and vehicles damaged in Portsmouth at a demonstration sparked by the arrival of 120 migrants in a single dinghy. Policing Minister Sarah Jones told the House of Commons the disorder on Sunday night was "intimidating and thuggish" and warned "those who cross into illegality" would "face the full force of the law". The protests followed a large group of masked men holding a demonstration over small-boat crossings at the Port of Dover on Saturday, causing major disruption. Portsmouth City Council said the Home Office had "serious questions to answer"...

A mega-dinghy carrying 140 migrants has reached the UK from Normandy after what is believed to be longest-ever Channel crossing by people smugglers. On Sunday, the French coastguard said it had detected the vessel, which was shadowed by a number of rescue boats in case it got into difficulties. It said authorities would not intervene at sea because of the risk to life with so many migrants on board. The launch site – a beach east of Cherbourg in the Baie de la Seine – was around 230 miles from Calais. It reflects a change in tactics by people-smugglers, who...

The UK government has put out a pamphlet for migrants to inform them about social norms and expectations of life in England. The booklet is intended to help migrants "understand what is expected of [them] when living in the UK." More than 1.3 million migrants currently live on UK welfare benefits. The book defines and explains what rape is and that it is illegal, and in detailing the legal age of consent states, "sex with someone under the age of 16 is a serious crime in the UK. There are no exceptions to this rule. Even if they say yes,...

The call to prayer is sounding across America. From Hamtramck, Michigan, to Paterson, New Jersey, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, rooftop amplifiers remind growing numbers of Muslim faithful five times a day of their duties with the Arabic message that “Allah is the Greatest! There is no god but Allah!” [snip] Critics say electing Muslims to public office is freighted with other concerns. Many come from Islamic nations where corruption is the norm, and those ways have carried over to places like Hamtramck, where the majority of the city council is under active investigation for election fraud; and to Minneapolis, where Muslim...

What if the Migrant Invasion of Ceuta Is Only the Beginning? Considering Spain’s late response and the EU’s vain squabbling, there is every reason to worry that the migrant invasion of Ceuta will happen again.When people saw the videos of a horde of North African migrants storming the Spanish-held peninsula of Ceuta, many immediately recalled a famous scene from the film World War Z where a horde of zombies mount a border wall and flood one of the last remaining uninfected cities. Here was a real-life violent invasion of heedless military-aged men stampeding through a small, vulnerable Spanish town, resulting...

Migrants are using social media to plan another mass border crossing into Ceuta. At least four WhatsApp groups, 10 Facebook groups and more than 50 Instagram accounts have been used to discuss plans to cross from Morocco to the Spanish exclave on Aug 15, according to analysis by Maldita.es, a fact-checking non-profit group. There was a mass influx into Ceuta last week, when at least 70,000 people swam and charged through the border, prompting a diplomatic row over Spain's handling of the migration crisis. The crossing left at least 77 people dead, with migrants drowning as they tried to swim...

Footage circulating purporting to be from the North African desert shows what looks like an enormous column of sub-Saharan African men moving under escort. Some estimates put the number at a hundred thousand. Commentators claim Algerian military vehicles and personnel are shepherding them toward the coast. If the scale and direction prove accurate, Europe faces another deliberate pressure wave on top of the chaos already unfolding in Ceuta. Wait until they see what is comingI said early on Algeria with their best chums Iran and Russia would weaponise invasionHere are thousands of Sub Saharans beinv escorted across the desert by...

Given the unchecked flood of illegal immigration now taking place across the European continent and Britain, the headline above asks a valid question: Will Europe in the future exist only as a territory, but not as a civilization and a culture? Spain is the latest flashpoint in Europe’s battle to maintain control over its borders. Last week’s stunning border break in Ceuta, a North African enclave that has been part of Spain for over 400 years, should be a wake-up call for all of Europe and the U.S., too. More than 60,000 migrants crossed en masse, with at least 57...

Reform UK has pledged to launch 'the biggest military operation in the Channel since World War Two' to end migrant crossings. The plan, branded Operation Fortress, would see the Royal Navy put to work protecting Britain's borders and towing any small boats back to France. Reform's home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf will unveil the policy on Monday, at the start of a week of announcements by the party on migration. He will be flanked by as-yet unnamed senior former members of the Armed Forces - who Reform claim have endorsed the scheme as 'operationally feasible', and one the rank-and-file of...

About 60,000 migrants have crossed into Spain's North African territory of Ceuta from Morocco in the last 24 hours, Ceuta's president says. At least 34 people have died during the crossing, Juan Jesús Vivas said during a news conference. The influx comes after Spain's Supreme Court ruled this month that migrants stopped at sea while trying to reach Ceuta or Melilla, another Spanish exclave, cannot be summarily returned to Morocco. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez described the situation as an "attack" and said the government was working to return all illegal migrants to Morocco "as soon as possible". Several European leaders...

Hundreds of migrants have crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by sea in recent days, exposing renewed pressure on one of the European Union’s most politically sensitive external borders and raising fresh questions about migration management between Spain and Morocco. Local authorities say more than 1,500 migrants, including adults and unaccompanied children, have reached the North African territory over the past few days, with arrivals exceeding 200 people a day. Television footage showed migrants swimming around border barriers before running into the town after reaching shore. Juan Jesus Vivas, president of Ceuta, described the situation as a “total humanitarian...

Shabana Mahmood is bracing for another chaotic day on the Channel, with up to 700 migrants feared to be crossing in dinghies. Border Force vessel Defender is bringing in dozens of asylum seekers to Dover, while a lifeboat has been deployed to another crossing. This cohort will arrive in Kent later, while French warships are patrolling as far south as Rue as fears intensify over smugglers expanding their routes into the UK. It represents a significant intensification in patrols in that region, with three navy vessels between Fort-Mahon-Plage and Le Touquet. More than 300 illegal immigrants have already reached UK...

The Commission refused to register the Save Europe Act, ruling that its call to halt non-Western immigration breached EU anti-discrimination rules. Migrants in Tenerife - Miguel RIOPA / AFPIn a not so surprising move, the European Commission has formally refused to register the anti-immigration ‘Save Europe Act’ as a European Citizens’ Initiative, meaning its organisers cannot begin collecting the one million validated signatures required to put the proposal formally before Brussels. The Commission argues that the proposal is incompatible with the European Union’s “fundamental values” and anti-discrimination rules. Dutch right-wing activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek, one of the campaign organisers, called the...

A tiny village is taking a stand against its own government as it faces the threat of being overrun by migrants. The couple hundred residents of Piddington, Oxfordshire, in the United Kingdom, voted July 4 for independence against the United Kingdom in a bid against authorities who are seeking to flood the area with illegal male migrants. The vote to separate passed in an overwhelming 96 percent majority. At the heart of the problem for Piddington is the Home Office’s (the UK equivalent of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security) June 26 decision to relocate almost 4,000 migrants to three...

Twenty-five inflatable boats capable of carrying 1,700 illegal migrants, which were being shipped to people smuggling gangs operating in the English Channel have been intercepted in Bulgaria. Customs officers in the Eastern European country, who work closely with the National Crime Agency to track and stop consignments of small boat equipment shipped through the country, made two separate seizures. Five boats were found in an HGV attempting to enter Bulgaria at the Lesovo border crossing after the NCA and Home Office International Operations shared intelligence with Bulgarian partners through the NCA’s international network. Then, two days later on Friday 26...
