The traveling ICU nurse who killed six people in a horror crash in Los Angeles on Thursday after plowing her Mercedes 90mph through a busy intersection has a ‘profound’ history of mental illness and has been involved in 13 prior crashes, but was still somehow subcontracted to work in a hospital and allowed to drive.
Nicole Lorraine Linton, 37, is in custody on six murder charges as a result of Thursday’s crash.
Bringing attention to the forgotten victims.
Last week marked the seventh annual commemoration of the Yazidi genocide, though you wouldn’t know it from watching establishment media. Nor would you know that there is an ongoing genocide of Christians taking place in Nigeria, nor that throughout the Islamic world countless women and girls are enduring kidnapping, forced marriages, forced conversions of Christians to Islam, genocidal rape, and/or widespread sex trafficking even in countries that are supposedly our allies in the War on Terror.
One person has been killed after blasts at a military base in Crimea, the head of the Russia-appointed regional administration has said.
Sergei Aksyonov wrote on social media that the blasts had taken place at the Saky military base near Novofedorivka on the peninsula’s western coast.

And they’ve been true to their word: no sooner had the threat of Covid started to wane, and most people had started to put the nightmare of the past two years behind them, than we were told that another dangerous virus had begun to rapidly spread across continents: monkeypox, a rare disease normally limited to West and Central Africa, where it is endemic.

Gruesome claims that Native Canadian children were buried en masse have completely unravelled.
When events occur that are important, but awkward and hard to discuss, the public should not be encouraged simply to move on and forget them. We often hear this line from good-faith leftists. Sometimes, as in the context of a historical lynching, those making this point have a real and significant case.
But there is another side to this. Frankly put, most high-profile recent US / UK narratives of racial conflict have turned out to be largely or entirely falsified. Stories touching on race are often misreported, and hoaxes are often uncritically believed by the media. The outlets and individuals who promote these storylines should not – cannot – be allowed to simply move on and forget them when they collapse.

Gallup has been tracking Americans’ views on immigration issues for decades at this point and public opinion has shifted back and forth measurably. But their latest survey has shown a remarkable change from the prevailing attitudes that were seen only a few years ago. For the first time since 2014, more Americans want to see fewer immigrants allowed into the country than those who want to see more migrants or want to see the number remain the same.

Palestinian leaders have a tradition of backing tyrants and corrupt regimes around the world. When their choices prove disastrous, they run to the Americans begging for pity.
The Palestinian leaders do not run to their Arab brothers: they know that most Arab countries are sick and tired of Palestinian lies and backstabbing.
The Palestinians, in addition, are best known in the Arab world for biting the hand that feeds them.
Investigators attempting to uncover the extent of presumed Russian atrocities in the Ukrainian city of Bucha have reached what may be the closest they will come to a full understanding of the massacre.
Mykhailyna Skoryk-Shkarivska, the town’s deputy mayor, said at a Monday press conference that 458 civilians’ bodies had been tallied in the formerly occupied city. Of that total, 419 of them were either fatally shot, tortured, or bludgeoned to death, while 39 deaths were considered from natural causes, though those are still being investigated as possible war crimes, according to the Washington Post. Nine were children who were under the age of 18.
