In First, Russian Military Said to Fire S-300 Missiles at Israeli Jets Over Syria

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian forces opened fire on Israeli jets with advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles as they allegedly attacked targets in northwestern Syria last week, Channel 13 news reported Monday, in what could signal a significant shift in Moscow’s attitude to Israel.

According to the unsourced report, the incident occurred on Friday as the Israeli air force bombed several targets near the city of Masyaf in northwestern Syria.

On Friday night at least five people were killed and seven others were hurt in the alleged airstrike, Syria’s state news agency said. Other media in the country said six were killed, all crew members of a Pantsir air defense system who attempted to take down the Israeli missiles.

The report said the Syrian military fired off dozens of anti-aircraft missiles which have been largely ineffective at halting the hundreds of Israeli strikes on Syria in recent years.

However, this time the S-300 batteries also opened fire as the jets were departing the area and ultimately did not present a real threat to the IAF fighters, the report said, noting that Syria’s S-300 batteries are operated by the Russian military and cannot fire without their approval.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Washington state man who worked as a manager at Arby’s has been accused of peeing into the restaurant’s milkshake mix, which could have later been served to dozens of customers.

Vancouver police found a video, which shows 29-year-old Stephen Sharp urinating into a bag of milkshake mix, on Sharp’s phone while investigating him for possession of child pornography. . .

Sharp allegedly admitted to investigators that he had urinated two different times in the mixture for “sexual gratification” but was “almost sure” that he had thrown the bag away after, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Columbian. If the bag was not thrown away, approximately 30 to 40 milkshakes sold to customers could have been contaminated. (Read more from “Arby’s Manager Confesses to Peeing in Milkshake Mix: Police” HERE)

Buffalo Shooting Was Premeditated and Shooter Visited Area Months Ago: Police

/0 Comments/in , /by

Buffalo, New York, officials confirmed Monday that the shooting suspect who killed 10 people and injured three others, 11 of whom were black, at a supermarket Saturday visited the area months ago.

The suspect, Payton Gendron, an 18-year-old resident of Conklin, visited Buffalo in early March. Monday’s revelation that Gendron traveled to the area earlier this year came after Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said the shooting was premeditated.

“Information has also come as a result of some of this investigation that the individual was here a few months ago, back in early March,” Gramaglia said at a press conference.

Gramaglia went on to emphasize that investigators are still digging through evidence as the investigation into the alleged racially motivated shooting at Tops Friendly Market continues.

Gendron reportedly targeted the Buffalo area because it “has the highest black percentage that is close enough to where I live,” he wrote in a 180-page manifesto posted online, according to CNN. (Read more from “Buffalo Shooting Was Premeditated and Shooter Visited Area Months Ago: Police” HERE)

Pelosi Unhinged: SCOTUS ‘Dangerous’ to USA!

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that “of course” private companies should provide travel expenses for their employees to receive an abortion in a state where it is legal if Roe v Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court. . .

When asked about Roe v Wade potentially being overturned by the Supreme Court, Pelosi said, “Who would have ever suspected that a creature like Donald Trump would become president of the United States by waving a list of judges he would appoint, therefore, getting the support of the far-right — and appointing those anti-freedom justices to the court. So, this is not about long game. We played a long game. We won Roe v. Wade a long time ago. We voted to protect it over time.”

She continued, “Let’s not take our eye off the ball. The ball is this court, which is dangerous to the freedoms of our country. Beware in terms of marriage equality, beware in terms of other aspects of it, and so it is. Let’s not waste our time on that. The fact is, this is a dangerous court to families, to freedom in our country. And that is why people have to mobilize. My saying is we don’t agonize. We organize, we go out there and make sure people know that if they, actually elections have consequences.” (Read more from “Pelosi Unhinged: SCOTUS ‘Dangerous’ to USA!” HERE)

FBI Interviews Parents of Suspected White Supremacist Gunman in Buffalo Massacre

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI is interviewing the parents of Payton Gendron, the white supremacist teen who massacred 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket Saturday, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Paul and Pamela Gendron — both civil engineers with the state Department of Transportation — are cooperating with investigators, sources added to AP.

The couple’s 18-year-old son allegedly traveled about 200 miles from the family’s home in Conklin, NY, to the Buffalo Tops Friendly Market, where he launched the slaughter. Payton specifically researched neighborhood’s demographics to target a predominantly black community, sources have said.

Terry Place, who lives a few doors down from the Gendrons in Conklin, said his family had occasional typical neighborly interactions with the shooter’s parents — and only really remembered Payton as their old paperboy.

Middle Schoolers Accused of Sexual Harassment for Using Wrong Gender Pronouns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three Wisconsin boys are facing sexual harassment charges from their middle school over accusations that they used incorrect gender pronouns on a fellow student.

“I received a phone call from the principal over at the elementary school, forewarning me; letting me know that I was going to be receiving an email with sexual harassment allegations against my son,” Rosemary Rabidoux, a parent of one of the accused, told Fox 11 News last week. . .

But none of the concerns Rabidoux had were at issue. Instead, her 13-year-old son, Braden, was accused of using incorrect pronouns to address another student at Kiel Middle School.

“(The investigating principal) said he’s being allegedly charged with sexual harassment for not using proper pronouns,” Rabidoux said. “I thought it wasn’t real. I thought this has got to be a gag, a joke – one has nothing to do with the other.”

Now her son and two other boys are being charged by school officials with Title IV violations, which prohibits gender-based harassment. (Read more from “Middle Schoolers Accused of Sexual Harassment for Using Wrong Gender Pronouns” HERE)

Study: Aspirin and Acetaminophen Raise Risk of Severe Pregnancy Complications

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pregnant women who took over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen were at higher risk of experiencing stillbirth, miscarriage, and delivering their babies pre-term, according to a massive new U.K. study.

Researchers in the United Kingdom surveyed records of more than 151,000 women who gave birth in the Aberdeen Maternity and Neonatal Databank between 1985 and 2015. The vast majority of women, over 83%, who were pregnant reported using an over-the-counter analgesic to relieve common symptoms such as joint pain in the first trimester. They studied five common pain relievers — acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin, diclofenac, and naproxen. Women who took at least one of five over-the-counter painkillers during pregnancy were at a 50% higher risk of premature delivery and 33% more likely to experience a stillbirth.

They also found that babies born to mothers who took at least one of the five over-the-counter analgesics were 64% more likely to have birth defects of the brain, spine, or spinal cord and 57% more likely to be transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit to receive specialized care.

Pregnant women are generally discouraged from taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, Advil, and Aleve due to the risk they pose of causing neonatal kidney damage and high blood pressure in the baby’s lungs, particularly in later stages of pregnancy. Acetaminophen was especially common, with 55% of the pregnant women the U.K. researchers studied reported using it.

The risk of severe birth defects was even higher when acetaminophen was combined with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. (Read more from “Study: Aspirin and Acetaminophen Raise Risk of Severe Pregnancy Complications” HERE)

Profanity, Vulgarity, and Abortion: Thousands Gather at Washington, D.C. Abortion Rights Rally Amid Turmoil Over Roe (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

At a Saturday march rife with profanity, vulgarity, and references to women’s reproductive organs, thousands of pro-abortion rights protestors assembled in Washington, D.C., to demonstrate against the potential overturn of Roe v. Wade.

The protestors gathered by the Washington Monument for a rally before marching to the Supreme Court in response to the leak of a draft opinion showing that the Supreme Court had voted to strike down the landmark decision. . .

Many of the protestors carried signs drawing on the demonstration’s theme, “Bans off our bodies,” accompanied by some reference to abortions or women’s reproductive organs. Many of these signs contained some form of vulgarity. Women’s March and Planned Parenthood helped organize the event.

“Keep your filthy laws off my silky drawers,” one sign photographed by The Daily Wire said. “Motherhood is a choice not a decision by the state,” said another. . .

One young woman who said she is a student from Seattle, Washington, told The Daily Wire that she was “protesting to keep abortions” safe and to “federally protect” Roe v. Wade. She wants to “keep rights” for herself and her friends, saying, “I know people who have almost died from getting unsafe abortions.”

Buffalo Shooter’s Quiet Hometown Stunned After Supermarket Shooting

/0 Comments/in , /by

Residents of rural Conklin, New York were stunned Saturday by the news the gunman accused in the Buffalo supermarket attack was a teenager who lived in their town.

Payton Gendron, 18, allegedly drove his parents’ car over 200 miles from Conklin to Buffalo Saturday to massacre 10 people in a racially motivated mass shooting he live streamed on Twitch.

Conklin is a sleepy community of about 5,000 people on the Susquehanna River just north of the Pennsylvania border in Broome County and 10 miles south of Binghamton. The population is 95.7 percent white, according to Census estimates.

“It’s disturbing — this kid went to the same school system as I did … how can someone that had a similar upbringing do this?” said Alexis Sorbello, who was bartending at Jumbo’s the only bar in town open late Saturday.

The local bar on Saturday had an American flag hanging by the pool table and pro wrestling and a baseball game on the big screens— but no sign of the shooting that hours ago brought national spotlight to their small community.

Biden Admits: ‘Heck of a Lot Harder’ to Be Cop in His America (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden acknowledged the difficulty of being a police officer in the current political and social climate during a speech at the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service on Capitol Hill on Sunday.

“Being a cop today is a lot harder than it has ever been,” Biden said, alluding to rising crime in some of America’s biggest cities under his administration.

Seventy-three law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty in 2021, 24 of which were killed in unprovoked attacks. Twenty-seven more officers were killed in 2021 than in 2020.

The president tried to sympathize with police officers, despite his longtime support for radical anti-police organizations such as Black Lives Matter.

“It is a different world,” Biden said. “Over the last several years it is so much more complicated, the job is complicated. We expect so much more from all of you.”
