Dashcam video from a Tesla on Philadelphia's I-76 caught a horrifying moment on camera this week, when a tire barreling down the highway slammed headfirst into a moving car. The tire is seen in one clip bouncing down the highway median before hitting a Nissan SUV in the left lane. The car's hood was smashed in, and the impact shattered its windshield. The tire was launched straight into the air on the busy highway. It is currently unclear where the tire came from. It is also unknown whether anybody was injured in the wreck.

Boston will host the second-ever National Urban Rat Summit this fall, according to City Hall.

Todays Topic: Vlad the Impaler. If you go off point though, that's OK.

The Skid Row Care Campus—funded by local, state, and federal dollars—handed us drug paraphernalia. As governor of California, Gavin Newsom has repeatedly supported “harm reduction” policies, which enable drug use in the name of making it “safer.” He created the state’s Harm Reduction Initiative, which funded “syringe services programs” for “people who inject and smoke fentanyl and/or methamphetamines.” His Department of Public Health has endorsed distributing syringes, glass pipes, and “[c]ontainers for mixing injectable drugs” to drug users. Newsom argued earlier this year that harm-reduction tactics “increase the like­li­hood of people enter­ing sub­stance use treat­ment.” But do California’s harm-reduction programs...

Federal agents came across a lot more than cocaine, guns and cash when they searched the home of a suspected drug trafficker in the South Valley last week. Agents also discovered more than 50 venomous snakes, including pit vipers, cobras and the inland taipan — the most venomous snake in the world — according to search warrants unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court for New Mexico. According to a NM Department of Wildlife seizure inventory, the snakes included king and spitting cobras, Fer-de-lance, black and green mambas, numerous varieties of pit vipers and reticulated pythons. Many of the snakes, some...

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents discovered stolen Civil War-era cannonballs in checked luggage at an Alabama airport on July 18, according to a TSA announcement. Lead TSA Officer Justin Dupree surveyed the historical artifacts on his X-ray screen after Gulf Shores International Airport security technology flagged the bag, the TSA press release stated. Upon inspection, Dupree wondered whether the opaque object might be a medicine ball before becoming concerned. “My first thought was, ‘I couldn’t see a fuse and need to get some help quick,’” Dupree said. “I couldn’t see the entire item but was scared I might have been...

My moment of awakening, to the fact that the government lies to us and covers stuff up happened in the Flight 800 crash over Long Island Sound. It was July 17, 1996, and I took a Mental Health day from work. I was tuned to MSNBC. Back in those days, MSNBC had not yet become an asylum for the politically insane, and actually had decent coverage about Clinton's many foibles, to eventually cover his scandals and subsequent impeachment. Suddenly, Norah O'Donnell, who was working there at the time (and actually was a pretty decent journalist back then) cut into the...

The Democratic National Committee is a mess. They're so broke that they recently put their headquarters building up as collateral in order to get access to cash. States are openly threatening to defy their new primary schedule. The organization desperately needs new leadership. Enter longtime Democrat strategist James Carville. He recently named the person he wants to take over the DNC and his choice will blow your mind. It's David Hogg. Yes, really. The Hill reports: Carville: Hogg should take over ‘dysfunctional’ DNC Democratic political strategist James Carville on Sunday said David Hogg, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) vice chair,...

The forensic evidence was bloody and grim. Thick clotted blood scored the bruised face of the corpse, from a multitude of deep, needle-sharp wounds.More dried blood could be seen on the arms, feet and ankles, blood that had oozed from brutal injuries that punched through the bones.These details, pieced together by successive teams of experts in criminal pathology, are captured in the oldest piece of murder evidence in the world: the Shroud of Turin.The dead man, powerfully built and naked, must have suffered intense agonies... but he did not bleed to death.Neither was he killed by the deep stab wound...

I found this product listing on Amazon. Imagine marketing "Black Trash Party" items.Amazon claims to delist "hate" symbols and products. Do these not quality?Amazon also markets White Trash Party Tramp Stamps.

The most destructive power in the world may not be nuclear power, chemical warfare, biological weapons, or any modern invention of military science. Such weapons are terrifying because they can destroy cities, poison nations, and leave generations wounded. Yet hatred has done something even more widespread: it has entered homes, governments, religions, schools, courts, streets, churches, and nations. It does not need a missile silo, a laboratory, or a battlefield. It only needs a willing heart. A bomb may explode once, but hatred keeps reproducing itself. It passes from father to son, from teacher to student, from preacher to hearer,...

Around 80 million years ago, a stretch of tropical coastline in what is now north-eastern Italy was lashed by monsoon rains and tropical cyclones. Those storms swept dinosaur carcasses, crocodiles, plants and river mud onto a tidal flat, where the tides and a film of microbes sealed everything away with extraordinary preservation.My colleagues and I have published a new study that reconstructs the violent tropical climate behind the Villaggio del Pescatore Lagerstätte near Trieste and reveals it preserves just four decades of life, recorded almost day by day. The Villaggio del Pescatore site near Trieste is one of the most...

Mad Max/Road Warrior spoof. Hero is black capitalist, road reavers are leftard redistributionists after his load of petrol.

New York City, where the media insists crime is down, experienced another grim milestone with the 15th person pushed into the subway tracks so far this year. Saritha Komatireddy, who is running for New York State Attorney General on a public safety platform, tweeted that, “This is the fifteenth subway push this year. A 70-year-old woman was just shoved onto the subway tracks by a stranger who walked up behind her at a station in Midtown Manhattan.” The perpetrator was a ‘parolee’, the type of criminals whom pro-crime officials like Gov. Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James have fought for...

The Los Angeles Police Department is adding new technology to its black-and-white patrol vehicle fleet, including upgraded sirens designed to alert drivers sooner and improve safety. The so-called Rumbler low-frequency warning system works alongside existing sirens to produce low-frequency sound waves that motorists and pedestrians can both hear and feel. Unlike conventional sirens, police say the low-frequency tones can penetrate sound-insulated vehicles, giving drivers more time to react to approaching emergency vehicles.

I am involved with the Apple developer program and therefore get the latest beta iOS updates. The last update iOS 27 Beta 4 is really weird because ONLY when visiting FoxNews does it automatically terminate Safari. I have not tested another single site other than FoxNews that resulted in termination of the Safari browser.

“When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.” Deuteronomy 22:8 (NIV) At first, this sounds like a small command. Put a railing around your roof. But it tells us something beautiful about God. God knows people fall. So he tells his people to do more than warn one another. He tells them to build mercy into the house. Do not wait until someone is broken on the ground. Put something between them and the edge. ****************** The...

Not all mimes stay silent. One is now accused of terrorizing women. A Massachusetts man known for roaming in a black-and-white mime costume is accused of frightening women for months at a popular state park, where prosecutors say he allegedly stripped to his underwear, slathered himself in cooking oil and worked out near female employees before later collapsing in court as the allegations were read aloud. Hernan Villagran Lux, 29, of Framingham, is facing criminal harassment charges after three female state Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) employees had up to over 50 encounters over the past two months at...

Background: Just saw an AI vid in which two talking chimps in a car beat up a Maine Senatorial candidate. Question: Do you think AI vids with violence will eventually end up as prosecutable events? "Battery by artificial intelligence in the First Degree, Class A Felony", GA Code § 16-5-23.6

“When we did the forced perspective stuff of the Laestrygonians ... there were these stunt men who were all seven feet,” he said, referring to the intimidating, armor-clad foes Odysseus and his men face during an island stop. “And then they got stuntmen who were under five feet. And so my double was a woman, a female stunt performer who had the greatest arms I’ve ever seen.” He continued, “And when she came into the catering tent, [it] was the first time I ever met her. I went up and I hugged herand I thanked her for all the work...
