A Haunting Coda: The 7 Days Gene Hackman’s Wife Could No Longer Care for Him

Before Gene Hackman faded from public view in his adopted hometown of Santa Fe, N.M., the locals would see the aging movie star on the golf course or in his truck or walking his beloved dogs in the enchanted western city, amid the mesquite, juniper and pinyon pine.

His wife, Betsy Arakawa, was often alongside him. There was much about his life that she managed. She set up the golf games with his friends. She policed his diet, given the heart trouble that had dogged him for decades. She diluted his wine with soda water. She typed and edited the novels he wrote by hand.

Anger at Elon Musk turns violent with molotov cocktails and gunfire at Tesla lots

The woman in the black hoodie walked onto the Tesla car lot prepared to inflict damage. She came with four Smirnoff Ice bottles filled with gasoline, flung them at electric vehicles parked around the dealership and watched as they burned.

Over the course of 13 days starting Jan. 29, according to court records, Lucy Grace Nelson made repeated trips to the Tesla car lot in Loveland, Colorado. Once, she spray-painted “Nazi” in black under the dealership’s entrance sign, according to court documents, and another time, she ignited a molotov cocktail near a Tesla Cybertruck. She also allegedly used red spray-paint to scribble a message on the car dealership’s entrance doors: “F— Musk.” Nelson’s lawyer declined to comment on the case.

WAR IS PEACE! Commander of NATO’s Multinational Division North in Latvia Says Peace In Ukraine Would Be Destabilizing

A few years ago, the scenario which Canadian and other NATO troops rehearsed in Latvia last week might have seemed unthinkable — even alarmist to the untrained eye.

On a mud-soaked, winter-scorched training range a few dozen kilometres outside of Riga, roughly 3,400 troops from 14 nations — under the brigade leadership of a Canadian commander — exercised how they would conduct a last-ditch defence of the Latvian capital.

… The Western military alliance has organized the defence of Latvia under a multinational division, which includes the Canadian-led brigade. The division is led by Danish Maj.-Gen. Jette Albinus, who also told CBC News in a recent interview that a ceasefire — or full peace settlement in Ukraine — would allow Russia to turn its full attention to the Baltic region.

If fellow NATO members feel that way then they should spend whatever it takes to maintain their war. But they won’t they want the US to pay the freight.

Slain gang leader who ‘lured nine Mexican students to cartel-ridden city’ jokes on camera before horror murders

A startling video has revealed the moment a gang leader pranked one of the nine students whose dismembered bodies were found on the side of a road in Mexico last weekend.

José ‘EL Jocha’ Lavariega was seen in the clip trying to scare one of the young people inside a hotel – before they were all found dead, with their hands chopped off, on the side of a road in Puebla.

Lavariega – who was friends with the nine slain students and invited them to cartel-ridden Oaxaca to commit robberies against local people – was also shot dead in his car not long after, with the culprit leaving a note at the scene, calling him a ‘thief.’
