  • Florida Man Pleads Guilty in Scheme to Steal Polymers that Caused Losses of More Than $4.1 Million

    01/25/2023 1:37:56 PM PST · by Tolerance Sucks Rocks · 12 replies
    CLEVELAND – A Parkland, Florida, man pleaded guilty on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023, to devising a scheme that defrauded several companies involved in the sale of polymers, including one business in Northeast Ohio, and multiple logistic companies, causing losses of more than $4.1 million. According to court documents, from July 2013 to January 2020, Terrence Anderson, 66, devised a scheme to steal shipments of polymers from businesses involved in the sale of the chemicals. The scheme was achieved, in part, by fraudulently obtaining services from logistic companies involved in processing rail shipments. Court documents show that Anderson owned and operated...

  • Putin ignores German tank decision, dispenses career advice on Moscow University visit

    01/25/2023 1:12:28 PM PST · by BenLurkin · 11 replies
    Russian President Vladimir Putin avoided commenting on Germany's landmark decision on Wednesday to supply tanks to Ukraine during a visit to Moscow State University, instead dispensing career advice to students and fielding questions on other topics. Putin, a fluent German speaker who served in the former East Germany as a KGB officer, spent more than an hour responding to students' questions on issues ranging from lost dogs to quantum technology, though the war in Ukraine also kept cropping up indirectly. Putin took a swipe at Western countries by suggesting some were using the Ukraine war as an excuse to "cancel"...
  • Jeremy Clarkson of 'Top Gear' calls out the radical left's attack on normalcy and free speech

    [Excerpted] Jeremy Clarkson of "Top Gear" fame faces further risk of cancellation over a December column in which he ridiculed former actress Meghan Markle. It appears he has decided to go out swinging, although his target is of much greater significance this time around. While these leftists may conceal their intentions, Clarkson suggested their impact is far-reaching and unmistakable, citing as proofs the apparent ideological capture of television and radio, big business, and the education system in the U.K. The former "Top Gear" presenter wrote a comedic column in December stating that he hated Markle on a "cellular level," and...
  • UK ONS admits their data is flawed; the vaccines may not be beneficial after all. Sorry about that.

    The UK ONS admitted that the misinformation spreaders got it right and their stats are wrong. Which means that the COVID vaccine might not be helpful after all. Executive summary Norman Fenton, Martin Neil, Clare Craig and Scott McLachlan authored a letter to the UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) pointing out serious flaws in their data. These flaws would make the unvaccinated look worse than they really are. The regulator agreed they were right. [Editor’s note: An honest regulator is a rarity. This would NEVER happen in the US.] Bottom line: The UK government can’t prove the vaccines work....

    San Francisco 49ers rising star Brock Purdy is on the brink of making history. The quarterback could become the first rookie to lead his team to a Super Bowl appearance. He’s the latest rookie quarterback to guide his team to a conference championship. While Purdy has also won each of the seven games he’s started, he’s receiving praise for another reason – putting faith first. The former Iowa State standout has been open about his religion. After being thrust into the 49ers’ matchup against the Miami Dolphins in December, Purdy said he just trusted in God. "You go out there,...

  • Wow, LA Sheriff Says Mass Shooter Didn't Use An Assault Rifle, He Used An Assault Pistol

    Sheriff Luna clarified that the weapon used in the attack was not an "assault rifle." Rather, Luna said the suspect used “a magazine-fed semiautomatic assault pistol … that had an extended large-capacity magazine attached to it.” The term "Assault Pistol" seems to be a recent addition to the gun control propaganda, and it is unclear what exactly it refers to. The gun control lobby has previously used the term "Assault Rifle" and "Assault Weapon" to describe and demonize certain types of firearms, but these terms have been criticized by the gun community for being misleading and not accurate. It seems...

    With Jacinda Ardern's welcome exit from the ranks of world political leaders, leaving a shambles of constitutional freedom and human rights in her wake, now is perhaps an opportune time to reconsider the passage of the 19th amendment in American politics as part of our ongoing series of "To Save America" modest proposals advocating repeal of the most destructive tamperings with the original Constitution. We've already made the arguments for the repeal of the 16th, 17th, 18th (done!), and 26th amendments, so now it's time for the women's suffrage movement to take its turn in the barrel.Oops.Start with this: there...

    The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, indicate that changes in the rotation of the inner core could take place on a scale of decades. The study's authors told Newsweek the findings have implications for our understanding of how the core influences the other layers of the Earth.... ...these changes are likely part of an oscillation that takes place over roughly seven decades, with a previous turning point...
