At the FBI, a History of Hiring Prostitutes, Bestiality may no Longer be a Barrier to Being Hired

/61 Comments/in , , /by

The FBI previously refused to hire job applicants if they admitted to hiring sex workers or stealing from an employer — or engaging in acts of bestiality.

Today, those acts, which are mostly illegal across the country, are no longer automatic deal breakers for applicants to the nation’s top law enforcement agency.

In June, the FBI quietly lowered some of the standards it uses when it conducts background checks on would-be federal agents and other personnel. According to multiple sources briefed on the matter, the FBI did so to facilitate hiring in some cases, even if candidates acknowledged they engaged in sexually deviant activities or stole from an employer.

The move comes as the FBI has lost scores of employees through firings, retirements and resignations since the start of the Trump administration.

Under specific circumstances, the FBI is willing to give candidates a pass on prostitution, as long as they have not hired sex workers three or more times, the sources told CBS News. And the hiring of the sex workers must not have taken place within the last 10 years, several of the sources added.

Disheveled Milo Yiannopoulos Scowls in Mugshot as He’s Detained by ICE after ‘Overstaying His Welcome’

Firebrand right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos looked miserable and disheveled with bags under his eyes in a mugshot taken after he was nabbed by ICE.

The former spokesman for Kanye West is being held in ICE custody in Alexandria, Louisiana, because he “chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a post Friday.

Yiannopoulos, 41, who is British, appeared unshaven and exhausted with messy hair in a mugshot posted by the agency.

The ex-Breitbart News editor entered the country legally through New York City in May 2019, according to officials, who said he skipped an immigration hearing after being issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on July 22.

“Yiannopoulos legally entered the country on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York. He chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws,” the agency wrote, adding that he was arrested Thursday.

DHS called him “an illegal alien from the United Kingdom,” and warned in the post that “being in detention is a choice” (Read more from “Disheveled Milo Yiannopoulos Scowls in Mugshot as He’s Detained by ICE after ‘Overstaying His Welcome’” HERE)

Two Employees Die Of ‘Airport Malaria,’ Officials Try To Calm Fears

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Mosquitoes carried into Germany from a malaria region have killed two workers at the country’s busiest airport.

Six Frankfurt Airport employees caught malaria on the job, according to German outlet Hessischer Rundfunk. The first of the two victims died in early July. The second death came in August. All four surviving patients have since left the hospital.

The airport operator, Fraport, identified the infections as airport malaria, CNN reported. The label covers the rare cases in which the disease spreads beyond the regions where it circulates, according to CNN, citing the Frankfurt health department. The cause of the first case emerged only after the patient had died.

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) confirmed four infections in mid-July, with the patients falling ill between July 4 and July 6, according to its Epidemiological Bulletin. The count reached six by late August. Germany’s national public health agency assumes an infected Anopheles mosquito arrived by aircraft and passed on the infection, according to the bulletin.

The institute has urged physicians to consider airport malaria when patients present unexplained fever and report no recent travel abroad, according to the bulletin. That advice covers anyone working at or near airports served by intercontinental passenger and cargo flights, according to the RKI.

Trump Releases His Ranking Of U.S. Presidents … And You’ll Never Guess Who’s At The Top

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump released his ranking of United States presidents on Thursday, with himself at the top of the list.

The president posted the graphic to Truth Social, referring to a CNN news segment reporting that a majority of Republicans admire Trump over leaders such as Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln. According to the poll, 53% of Republicans said they admire Trump most while 18% chose Reagan and just 8% favor Lincoln.

Trump place himself in a tier of his own labeled “The Greatest.”

Founding fathers George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were ranked below Trump as “Great,” along with Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Andrew Jackson.

Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, John Adams and James K. Polk were all labeled “Near Great.”

One X user indicated that the image shared by Trump closely resembles a 1948 ranking of United States presidents according to 55 scholars posted in Life Magazine. If so, it would explain the absence of the majority of presidents from the second half of the 20th century, including Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and both Bushes.

Mamdani Posts Emotional Message Mourning Accused Knife-Wielding Killer —and is Slammed by Victim’s Family

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly mourned an accused career criminal killer who died on Rikers Island this week — and the family of the victim slain in the sick, unprovoked attack is now livid, The Post has learned.

Hizzoner said on X that he was “deeply saddened” by the in-custody death — the seventh so far this year at the troubled jail complex — adding that, “my thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they grieve this loss.”

The inmate was identified as 41-year-old Clarence Woodward, an ex-con with nearly 30 arrests on his rap sheet, who was found unresponsive in his cell shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday while awaiting trial for murder in the gruesome 2024 attack at a Bronx laundromat.

To the family of victim Jose Miranda, the mayor’s statement was “a slap in the face.”

“It’s terrible,” his grieving mother, Marisol Miranda, told The Post on Thursday, adding, “That’s not fair. That’s not fair at all.”

The Rockland Country resident said that the mayor’s sorrow was misplaced, and should have instead been aimed at her beloved son, a 45-year-old dad of two who worked as a barber when he was stabbed to death.

‘True Tomb’ of Jesus Christ Found after 2,000 Years — and it Matches the Biblical Telling

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .After years of searching, Italian archaeologists have discovered an ancient site that matches a Bible description of where Jesus Christ was buried, per a preliminary study in the Jerusalem archaeological journal Liber Annuus.

“We have found evidence of a funerary landscape,” lead archaeologist Francesca Romana Stasolla, of the “La Sapienza” University of Rome, told the Daily Mail as part of an exclusive article.

The researchers had been excavating Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a fourth century Roman Church that was built over a holy site where many Christians believe Christ was crucified, buried and then resurrected on Easter Sunday.

As a result, it’s become a mecca for religious pilgrims from across the world, attracting around four million visitors per year.

During the final phases of the excavations in 2025 — they began three years prior during a floor restoration — the team found a peculiar landscape that suggests they might’ve been onto something.

Underneath the church was an abandoned quarry, cultivated plots of land, rock-cut tombs and an ancient garden. Coincidentally, the Book of John describes: “At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.” (Read more from “‘True Tomb’ of Jesus Christ Found after 2,000 Years — and it Matches the Biblical Telling” HERE)

Trump Criticism Leads to Rare Criminal Charges for Air Force Officer who Called for Impeachment

/9 Comments/in , , /by

A US airman who was arrested twice, once on the steps of the US Capitol while calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, was officially criminally charged Monday for his comments, according to a charging document his attorney shared with CNN.

Maj. Jason Watson faces the following charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, according to the document: three violations of Article 88 for alleged “contemptuous” remarks about Trump, five violations of Article 92 for allegedly disobeying orders and two violations of Article 133 for alleged conduct unbecoming an officer. . .

“Maj. Watson will continue to be held in pre-trial confinement,” [an Air Force spokesperson confirmed]. “Airmen are afforded the right to due process, and considered innocent until proven guilty, in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”

The rare Article 88 charges are connected to the Air Force officer’s June interview with the Defenders of our Republic Substack newsletter, his July 1 protest in uniform at the US Capitol, and an August 17 CNN interview. . .

Mutimer, Watson’s attorney, told CNN’s Erin Burnett on “OutFront” that he spoke with his client Monday and “he is basically in solitary confinement for his safety.” (Read more from “Trump Criticism Leads to Rare Criminal Charges for Air Force Officer who Called for Impeachment” HERE)

Forget 8 Hours — New Research Reveals how much Sleep Adults Really Need

/1 Comment/in , , /by

When it comes to sleep, is eight hours really the magic number?

While adequate rest is undoubtedly an important component of human health, how much sleep we need isn’t the same for everyone.

A new review from Brain Medicine challenges the notion that all adults require eight hours of sleep a night to be healthy.

“Human sleep patterns in pre-industrial societies exhibit substantial flexibility, suggesting that contemporary norms of consolidated nocturnal sleep are not evolutionarily fixed,” according to the authors. . .

Long before the implementation of the 40-hour workweek, the invention of alarm clocks and the use of cellphones, people relied on a more natural sleep cycle — one that often didn’t amount to eight hours a night.

Per the Conversation, researchers have studied hunter-gatherer communities — whose lifestyles share more similarities with those of our ancestors and who have limited or no exposure to artificial light — to better understand natural sleep duration in humans.
