    This one seems genuinely crazy. Claims she has lots of names, it gets pretty entertaining she also somehow thinks everyone is jealous of her, but I don't even think she knows what that word even means. There are lots and lots of these videos on YouTube, it's really amazing what these LEO's have to put up with from these horrible people. It really sucks they have to be kept busy dealing with these abusive low-life's, taking them away from other important police work.

    INSIDE MRNA VACCINES – THE MOVIE ^ | August 28, 2024 | Staff
    This film explores the unprecedented global rollout of mRNA vaccine technology - and the complex scientific and regulatory questions it continues to raise. At its heart, the story follows scientists and physicians who voice concerns about potential gaps in data transparency, risk assessment, and long-term safety - not to discredit science, but to uphold its highest standards. “We turned the body into a factory, with no clear controls.” Dr. Robert Redfield - Former CDC Director Regulators and much of the scientific community maintain that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are safe and effective. Meanwhile, the technology is rapidly expanding - from new...

    How CarShield operates… it’s something folks should know before calling that number. The video talks about how CarShield will deliberately not cover certain parts. Then they claim it’s that part that went bad. Buyer beware.

    News of Abdul Niazi’s death arrived in a chilling phone call. It was March 26, nearly the end of Ramadan, and his wife wanted to know when to expect her husband, a former U.S. military interpreter who lost both legs in a bomb blast in Afghanistan and became one of Houston’s most well-known advocates for new Afghan migrants. It was almost time to break the day’s fast, recalled Niazi’s cousin, but he hadn’t returned home. So she called his cellphone. “I’m not your husband,” the man on the other end of the line said, according to Rizwanullah Niazi, Niazi’s cousin....

    Over the years, countless Democrats have tried to take down Trump, thinking they could stop his movement for good. Instead, they ended up disgraced, irrelevant, or completely exposed. From Hillary Clinton to James Comey, Rosie O’Donnell, and more—this is what happens when you go to war with Trump and lose. The MAGA base doesn’t forget, and Trump’s influence is stronger than ever. Watch the full breakdown of their downfalls!

    FAFO in Florida Two illegal immigrant sisters caught shoplifting shocked to find out they're being deported, one claims they can't be deported because she had a child here. Turns out they're habitual shoplifters with tools that makes it a felony. They shouldn't have tried this in Florida. Should have tried their crime spree in Illinois or Calif. Where the authorities would have done everything possible to set them free.

    GOBEKLI TEPE, Turkey — Tour guide Sabahattin Alkan herds curious tourists through the scorching afternoon heat, luring them with the promise of something far stranger than your typical vacation snap. "Over here on the right, you see a spaceship landed recently," he says with a grin. He's joking. Mostly. But more on that in a minute. We're in the Urfa plain, a dry, dusty stretch about 25 miles from the Turkish-Syrian border. That "spaceship" is actually just a curved roof. But what lies beneath the dome has sparked decades of mystery, curiosity — and conspiracy. One of the T-shaped pillars...

    The population of Japan shrank by 0.75% in 2024, marking a record high since records began in 1968, according to official data. The decline amounted to 908,574 people, the largest population drop since records began in 1968. This is the 16th straight year in which the Japanese population has shrunk, reducing it to 120.65 million people down from a peak of 126.6 million in 2009, according to the Internal Affairs Ministry. Japanese nationals aged 65 or over made up 30% of the country's population, while 60% of Japanese nationals were between 15 and 64. Although many more economically developed countries...

    The Trump administration is targeting UCLA again for the second time in a week, seeking to force the school to pay a $1 billion fine for alleged antisemitism on campus. The news broke Friday, a week after grant funding to the university was frozen. The Los Angeles Times reports that the federal government’s proposal would restore that grant funding, worth more than $500 million, in exchange for the $1 billion fine. University of California System President James Milliken confirmed that they’ve “just received a document from the Department of Justice and [are] reviewing it.”

    Attorney General Pam Bondi has all but disappeared from Fox News in recent weeks, after being all over the network during the first few months of the Trump administration. Bondi’s last appearance as a guest on Fox News was with Sean Hannity on June 30th, days before her DOJ and the FBI released a joint memo concluding that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and did not keep a “client list.” Bondi subsequently found herself on the receiving end of a firestorm of anger from the MAGA base, which had been assured by President Donald Trump, Bondi, and others in the administration...

    Long before bourbon dominated the liquor market, rye whiskey reigned supreme. Now, a Midwestern distiller is teaming up with scientists to bring back a long-gone type of grain and turn it into spicy, bold whiskey. The source is a wooden schooner named the James R. Bentley that's been sitting in Lake Huron for nearly 150 years. The ship sank in Nov. 1878 after striking a shoal.

    In a precedent-setting move, a European country has officially granted full refugee protections to a Brazilian women’s rights activist who was facing 25 years in prison in her home country for misgendering a transgender politician. Isabella Cêpa is the first person to be recognized as a victim of state persecution for her outspoken opposition to gender identity ideology. As previously reported by Reduxx, Cêpa first came under criminal investigation after she made a social media post about Erika Hilton – a male politician who “identifies” as a woman. Hilton was elected to São Paulo’s municipal government in November of 2020,...

    Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Texas’s senior senator up for reelection in 2026, announced on Thursday that FBI Director Kash Patel agreed to his request for federal agents to help Texas law enforcement track down and return runaway Democratic lawmakers. Cornyn wrote a letter on Tuesday urging Patel to help return some 50 state lawmakers who fled the state to try and delay a state House vote on a new congressional map. Democrats are trying to delay the vote by not allowing the GOP-controlled body to have a quorum — a minimum number of members present in order to conduct official...

    Who could have guessed that The New York Times' "conservative" columnist would be a pompous idiot, except anyone who's ever seen the in-house conservatives at ABC, NBC, CBS, The Washington BLEEP, etc., etc. I was tricked into reading a column by "conservative" Ross Douthat by its title, "Conspiracies Are Real. The Theories Can Be Traps." It's a point I've often made myself. Of course, there are conspiracies. Political parties are conspiracies, businesses are conspiracies, sports teams are conspiracies. Other than noncontroversial conspiracies, like political parties, business enterprises and the fact that Big Tech was censoring conservatives like mad from 2020...

    In the popular Japanese anime One Piece, black flags bearing a skull with a straw hat are carried by a rowdy crew of pirates who have made it their mission to challenge a draconian regime and fight for freedom. But in July, these emblems started popping up across Indonesia – along doorways, on the backs of cars, and painted on walls. For many, it was a response to Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto's call for Indonesians to fly their national red and white flag ahead of the country's Independence Day on 17 August. Instead, many chose to raise these pirate flags...

    Cambodia recently announced that it plans to nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. In response, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, naming other conflicts that Trump has “ended,” said that, “It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” I agree that it’s “well past time.” To be specific: Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for Operation Warp Speed (OWS), which through a classic public/private partnership during the final year of his first term helped bring the world back from one of the worst pandemics in history. This effort produced novel vaccines, therapeutics, and...

    Today, the Department of Justice announced the launch of the Backpage remission process to compensate victims whose trafficking was facilitated through the Backpage.com website. This marks the largest remission process to date to compensate victims of human trafficking.“Backpage.com facilitated the exploitation of women and children as one of the largest online advertisers for commercial sex and sex trafficking over its 14-year existence,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Backpage and its executives made millions off the trafficking of victims. Today’s announcement underscores the Department’s unwavering commitment to use forfeiture to take the...
