The reason the hit was done in public was because it would look like an accident, or at worst, a clumsy police procedure. Not as if there is a shooting and then the messy problem of hiding and disposing of the body. Mr. Floyd had to go simply because the passing of the counterfeit $20, and being caught, would bring in the US Secret Service, which agency would immediately take custody of Floyd, move him to their facilities, and proceed to both grill him and offer him a "deal" if he exposed his sources. That would bring the whole house...

Pregnant women who don't make nearly enough thyroid hormone are nearly 4 times likelier to produce autistic children than healthy women, report scientists... The association emerged from a study of more than 4,000 Dutch mothers and their children, and it supports a growing view that autism spectrum disorders can be caused by a lack of maternal thyroid hormone, which past studies have shown is crucial to the migration of fetal brain cells during embryo development. "It is increasingly apparent to us that autism is caused by environmental factors in most cases, not by genetics," said lead author Gustavo Román, M.D.,...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea has confirmed it destroyed an inter-Korean liaison office on Tuesday, as it continued to dial up pressure against rival South Korea amid stalled nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration. Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency said the North destroyed the office to correspond with the “mindset of the enraged people to surely force human scum and those, who have sheltered the scum, to pay dearly for their crimes,” apparently referring to North Korean defectors who for years have floated anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border.

Miners working in the Pilbara region spotted the strange object—which illuminated the clouds as it flew past—around 1 a.m. local time, with the glow lasting for so long that many were able to capture the event on their phones. Experts say that the object was probably not a piece of spacecraft debris falling to Earth, but rather a "fireball," which is a very bright meteor. "What we tend to see—when objects like space debris, or if it's a satellite burning up—what we tend to see is sort of like crackles and sparks. This is due to the fact that there...

Local wildlife officials are searching for an alligator that bit a man directly in the face. Largo Police Department spokesman Lt. Scott Gore told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that Travis Spitzer was in waist-deep water at Taylor Lake on Friday, June 12, at around 5 a.m. looking for Frisbees when the gator bit him in the face. “He used his left hand to pry himself free and as a result had lacerations to his face and hand, said Gore. “He was transported for medical care and is expected to recover. FWC is responding for the gator.” The incident comes as...

Two missing female George Floyd protesters from Florida were found dead by police who have charged a 49-year-old man with killing them. Tallahassee police found the bodies of Oluwatoyin Salau, 19, and Victoria Sims, 75, on Saturday in the vicinity of the home of Aaron Glee, according to reports.

VIDEO I have seen this scene many times in my backyard. A turtle digs up dirt made soft by a recent rain, lays its eggs, followed by the inevitable crow digging up some of the eggs to eat. However, yesterday an interesting twist. The turtle probably only seemed to lay eggs, perhaps knowing of their fate due to the crow standing nearby. This was followed by the crow furiously trying but failing to dig up the eggs. Watching this crow you can tell it was incredibly frustrated by its failure to find any turtle eggs in the ground.

Sounds like contact tracing is right around the corner and our Big Brother friends, Google and Apple, are planning help facilitate tracking our activities via our smartphones. Just curious if anyone has considered dumping the smartphone for a simple flip phone. I presume that my position can still be traced via the triangulation cell tower network but that resolution is limited. However since the simple phones don't have a GPS chip and "smart" capabilities, detailed positioning and track is not as easily available to Big Brother.

A sexually frustrated Virginia man blew off a hand while trying to make homemade explosives — ones he planned to use in a revenge attack on “hot cheerleaders,” according to federal prosecutors. Cole Carini, 23, went to a health clinic in Richlands last Wednesday suffering from an amputated hand, amputated fingers on the opposite hand, and shrapnel wounds to the neck and throat, the Department of Justice said. He claimed it was from a devastating lawnmower accident — but investigators found his yard overgrown, they say. Instead, they found evidence of a recent explosion, with explosives materials, rusty nails, pipes...

The FBI believes a Virginia man accidentally amputated his own hand while making an explosive device that may have been designed with the aim to kill 'hot cheerleaders'. Cole Carini, 23, of Richlands, arrived at the Clinch Valley Medical Center on June 2 with a missing hand and shrapnel wounds on his neck and throat. Several fingers on his other hand were also missing. He claimed the injuries were the result of a lawn mowing accident. However, a police officer who arrived at medical facility to interview Carini soon turned suspicious after learning the young man had previously been convicted...

Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are extragalactic flashes of light that pack a serious wallop, unleashing in a few milliseconds as much energy as Earth's sun does in a century. More than 100 FRBs have been discovered to date, and most of them are one-offs, flaring up just a single time (as far as we know). In January of this year, astronomers reported that one member of the "repeater" class, called FRB 180916.J0158+65, appears to exhibit a 16-day activity cycle: It fires off bursts for a four-day stretch, goes quiet for 12 days and then starts all over again. FRB...

President Trump on Wednesday blasted John Huber, the U.S. attorney from Utah whom former Attorney General Jeff Sessions once tapped to review Clinton-related issues, saying he did “absolutely nothing.” “Undercover Huber is a great spoof, funny, but at the same time sad, because the real @JohnWHuber did absolutely NOTHING,” Trump tweeted early Wednesday. “He was a garbage disposal unit for important documents & then tap, tap, tap just drag it along & run out of time.” He added: “A.G. Jeff Sessions was played like a drum!”

 Twitter unfairly deletes a user who Tweets content the president supports. Here's an example in which Trump retweets a user's account for included "the storm" terminology Trump used in 2017 when he took office, and a hashtag #WWG1WGA. Twitter responds by banning the user's acount. A Twitter user fights back against censorship and retweets the same content below:  But, Twitter supports mischaracterizations of Trump's tweets. On Twitter, here's a clip of an MSNBC reporter suggesting Trump's retweet (shown above) is unfairly "elevating" Q Anon while at the same time "taking on" Antifa, both of which she describes as "extremist...
