Three Children Shot near Public Pool in Small Town, Suspect Taken into Custody

Multiple children were shot over the weekend after gunfire broke out near a recreational public pool in Stuttgart, Arkansas, authorities said.

Officers responded Saturday just before 5 p.m. local time to reports of shots fired at John Cain Aquatic Center, the Stuttgart Police Department said in a statement.

Three children suffered gunshot wounds and were rushed to a local hospital, according to police. One child suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, though police did not elaborate on the injuries of the other two children who were shot.

A suspect was taken into custody within minutes of the incident with help from the Arkansas County Sheriff’s Office, police said in a social media post.

“At this time, no names will be released, as all parties involved are juveniles,” the department noted.

In a statement on Facebook, the John Cain Aquatic Center said the aquatic center will be closed “until further notice.” (Read more from “Three Children Shot near Public Pool in Small Town, Suspect Taken into Custody” HERE)

Karmelo Anthony’s Parents Use First Interviews Since Guilty Verdict To Cast Themselves As The Real Victims

Karmelo Anthony’s parents used their first interviews after their son’s murder conviction to claim that he had received an unfair trial and that all the witnesses had lied on the stand.

In interviews with CBS News and The Breakfast Club, Kala Hayes and Andrew Anthony, Karmelo’s parents, told the public that they believed the jury had made up their minds before even stepping foot into the courtroom, essentially convicting their son of Austin Metcalf’s murder before any evidence was heard.

“He was convicted when he walked out of the jail,” Anthony told CBS. “It was no innocent ’til proven guilty. He was already guilty.”

They told the story supposedly from their son’s perspective, who said his girlfriend’s cousin had invited him into the tent where Austin Metcalf was. Then they said the same cousin claimed not to know their son when he took the stand.

“He lied and was saying he didn’t even know [him], and they had pictures, pictures with his grandmother,” Anthony told The Breakfast Club. (Read more from “Karmelo Anthony’s Parents Use First Interviews Since Guilty Verdict To Cast Themselves As The Real Victims” HERE)

California Cult ‘Prophet’ Learns Fate for Vile Sex Crimes — and the Loophole that Could Set Him Free Early

A Northern California cult “prophet” has been sentenced to life behind bars for molesting four young girls and raping two of his female adult followers, but a loophole in state law could set him go free much earlier.

The Oroville cult leader Sansue Bee Vang was sentenced to 225 years to life after being found guilty of eight counts of child molestation and three counts of rape, according to the Butte County District Attorney’s office. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender.

Vang is the founder and leader of the Hmong religious organization called Kev Ntseeg Leej Niam Kee Tiam Vaj Lis Thum, which loosely translated means “Belief in Mother.”

In 2020 he built his temple and community in the town at the base of North Table Mountain, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.

The cult leader, with connections to Wisconsin and Fresno, recruited families from both locations along with North Carolina and Minnesota to establish his religious community.

The DA shared horrific details at trial about what Vang did to his female followers, young and old. (Read more from “California Cult ‘Prophet’ Learns Fate for Vile Sex Crimes — and the Loophole that Could Set Him Free Early” HERE)

Tragic New Detail Emerges in Death of 5-year-old Swept out to Sea by Massive Wave

The 5-year-old San Bernardino girl who was swept out to sea by a massive wave in Laguna Beach this week was set to start kindergarten later this summer, school officials said.

Amada Mia Brown, who died after being caught in the powerful surf battering California’s coast Tuesday night, was scheduled to begin kindergarten in the San Bernardino City Unified School District in August, Communications Manager Maria Garcia told The California Post.

“We mourn Amada’s loss and hold her family in our thoughts during this difficult time,” Garcia said.

Amada was also set to attend a new student orientation next month, Garcia added.

The young girl vanished Tuesday evening after powerful waves pulled her, her mother and her brother into the ocean near the shoreline at Treasure Island Beach.

Heroic bystanders who took to the rough water managed to rescue Amada’s mother and brother, but Amada was carried out to sea. (Read more from “Tragic New Detail Emerges in Death of 5-year-old Swept out to Sea by Massive Wave” HERE)

Target Recalls Baby Wipes Due to Potential Microbial Contamination

Target is voluntarily recalling popular baby wipes that are sold nationwide and online, due to concerns of potential microbial contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Friday.

Target issued a recall of Up & Up Fragrance Free and Up & Up Fresh Cucumber Scented Baby Wipes after complaints from customers about product discoloration and after the FDA tested the products and found Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli.

“Use of products contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioi may result in serious and life-threatening infections. The products are predominantly used on newborns, infants, and young children, who are particularly vulnerable to opportunistic infection due to their immature immune systems,” the FDA said in its announcement.

“In healthy individuals, use of the product on skin with minor lesions will more likely result in local infections, whereas in immunocompromised individuals, newborns, infants and young children, the infection is more likely to spread into the bloodstream, potentially leading to life-threatening sepsis or pneumonia,” the agency continued.

Communist Influencer Seedy, Sex-Obsessed Life: Soliciting Nudes, List of Best Breasts, and a Separate Laptop for Porn

[Warning: content contains explicit content.]

He may be the Communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, but when the cameras are off, the real Hasan Piker is shallow and sex-driven, sources claim.

Although he recently debuted a more serious image, donning spectacles and suits for his broadcasts, those close to the 34-year-old told The Post he’s still a pervy, porn-obsessed frat boy — impulses they say get in the way of him ever realizing his goal of making it in the mainstream.

“Off camera he is very stiff and impersonal. I can’t tell how much of what he says he actually believes. He definitely leverages it to creep on women,” a former pal told The Post.

Sources noted Piker regularly boasts about receiving nude photos from fans and how he claims to watch porn on a laptop dedicated to that purpose propped up on his chest so he can “still see” his penis.

Piker — who this week was banned from speaking in the UK over his extreme leftwing views — was born in New Jersey but grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, where his parents hail from.

Concerning Rise in Colon Cancer Deaths is Almost Entirely Among Key Demographic

. . .Once considered a disease of older adults, colorectal cancer has now overtaken breast and brain cancers to become the leading cause of cancer deaths among Americans under 50.

But a new study suggests that the burden isn’t spread evenly, finding that deaths among younger adults are overwhelmingly concentrated in one group.

Researchers at the American Cancer Society analyzed government data on more than 101,000 adults ages 25 to 49 who died from colon and rectal cancers between 1994 and 2023.

Over that 30-year span, the overall death rate rose from about 3 to roughly 4 per 100,000 people in the age group. . .

The increase was driven almost entirely by people without a four-year college degree.

In this group, death rates climbed from about 4 to 5.2 per 100,000, while rates for those with at least a bachelor’s degree held steady at around 2.7 per 100,000. (Read more from “Concerning Rise in Colon Cancer Deaths is Almost Entirely Among Key Demographic” HERE)

Fidel Castro’s Daughter Gives Jaw-Dropping Reply when Asked About Rumors that Late Cuban Dictator is Justin Trudeau’s Real Father

The daughter of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro gave a surprising answer when asked if she is the half-sister of former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

Theories that the Cuban communist revolutionary fathered Justin have circulated since Castro died in 2016, with some pointing to physical similarities between the two.

The rumors resurfaced several times in the years since, particularly as his mother admitted to having a relationship with Castro, and after Castro’s eldest son left a suicide note referring to Justin as his half-brother.

Fact-checkers, however, maintain there is no evidence that the Canadian is Castro’s son because his mom, Margaret, did not visit Cuba and meet Castro until four years after he was born.

But Castro’s daughter, Alina Fernandez, may have just reignited the rumors once again after she refused to deny the rumors in a recent interview with NewsNation.

Lesbian Minister Cancels July 4th Celebrations In Political Protest

A lesbian minister in Nantucket, Massachusetts, is canceling her church’s annual Fourth of July celebrations in an act of political protest apparently against the country’s — as well as her own congregation’s — “whiteness.”

Rev. Erin Splaine announced to her community Thursday that the Second Congregational Meeting House Society, Unitarian Universalist church would be canceling its customary July 4th celebrations, which include a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

“We came to this decision in large measure because of the recent gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court,” Splaine wrote in a letter to the Nantucket Current. She was referring to the 2026 Louisiana v. Callais case that declared racial gerrymandering unconstitutional.

Slaine claimed that white people experience the “Rights and Privileges” enshrined in the founding documents in a manner “tragically, often violently, and unequally applied to fellow citizens who are not white.”

Such injustice, Slaine argued, means celebrating America’s history “without context … perpetuates the harm, injustice, and anti-democratic process,” she wrote in part. (Read more from “Lesbian Minister Cancels July 4th Celebrations In Political Protest” HERE)

‘Revolutionary’ New Treatment can Lower Bad Cholesterol by up to 62% — with Just One Dose

. . .Pharma giant Eli Lilly announced Monday that its gene-editing therapy can reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by up to 62% with a single infusion.

Not only was the experimental treatment successful, but the results were still apparent in some participants 18 months after they received the dose.

While most gene therapies target rare disorders, this new treatment could lower the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the US.

A single dose of VERVE-102 “switches off” a gene known as PCSK9 that plays a role in the amount of LDL cholesterol the liver can detect and remove from the bloodstream. Less PCSK9 means less bad cholesterol.

An early-stage trial published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine tracked 35 patients with heart disease or genetically high levels of LDL cholesterol. (Read more from “‘Revolutionary’ New Treatment can Lower Bad Cholesterol by up to 62% — with Just One Dose” HERE)
