[Breitbart] A San Antonio, Texas, homeowner armed with a shotgun killed an alleged intruder who reportedly lunged at him just before 1:00 a.m. Sunday.
CBS Austin reported that the alleged intruder came to the front door seeking entry to the home, and the homeowner told him to leave. The alleged intruder then reportedly sought entrance again, and was again told to leave. Thereafter, the homeowner "heard noises in the backyard and upon investigation, encountered the same man."
The homeowner then grabbed his shotgun and was standing with his wife when the intruder allegedly lunged at him. The homeowner fired one round, fatally wounding the alleged intruder.
Police indicated the homeowner "[feared] for his wife’s safety," KENS 5 noted.
The alleged intruder was described as 47-year-old male.

[Breitbart] A Carnival Cruise ship’s dining hall plunged into chaos when a large group of women got into an all-out brawl, brazenly hurling chairs and fists at each other as shocked passengers and staff watched.
A six-and-a-half minute video captured by Nick Richardson, a guest on the early June voyage to Honduras and Cozumel, Mexico, shows the moment furniture began sailing through the air in the dining hall of the ship.
The fight included at least six women, with a few men who appeared to be trying to break it up.
Only about three apparent Carnival security guards were at the scene, but their efforts to stop the violence were virtually futile against the angry pack of women pounding on each other.
Richardson recorded the aftermath of the fight, showing broken plates and upside-down chairs as he helped the staff pick up the mess.
“This is just what happens at 3 in the morning when you got a bunch of drunk girls from Tampa,” Richardson, who was on the cruise with his fiancee and three children, told the New York Post. Continues..Vid here. It was everything I expected it to be..

A comment on this story in the Daily Mail summed it up: "Carnival is the Section 8 of the cruise industry."
When I saw the headline, I knew the ship involved would be a Caribbean cruise, which I'll never ever go on. I hope they all got kicked off the ship at the next port.

I read "CATFIGHT" and thought it was a furry convention. But NO! It was melanin poisoning and they didn't have a Waffle House to use. You can get the girl out of the ghetto but you can't get the ghetto out of the girl.

I knew right off the demographic of those involved when I read brawl. Some people just can't be civilized. I don't mean the whole demographic, but this does seem "normal" for a significant portion.

Start checking the passengers for criminal records before being allowed on board. I bet every one of these ghetto girls have multiple arrests and / or convictions.
[NYPOST] Britannia’s left-wing Labour Party was poised Thursday for a landslide victory over the ruling Conservative Party after 14 years out of power.
According to an exit poll commissioned by all three major UK broadcasters and released as soon as the polls closed at 10 p.m., Labour was set to win 410 seats in the 650-member House of Commons, a majority of 170.
The result means that Keir Starmer,

A plan, a Koran, and a rucksack;
A fully stocked pointy-toed shoe rack,
Silk shalwar kameez,
All your kids, if you please,
And roast beef on relief for John Buraq!
Also a lot of people not voting. About 60% voting compared to about 67% in 2019. Although not known to a high degree it is probable a lot of them, maybe a majority, were voters who favored the Conservatives in the previous election.

The idiots leading the Tories screwed the Brits, and have been doing so since they reluctantly backed Brexit, dragged to it by their voters. When it got out that despite promising to cut illegal immigration, the current Tory leadership deliberately increased it, they were toast. The only question is whether Britain will survive the punishment.
An urgent warning has been issued to all 1.46 billion iPhone users after tech experts uncovered a new cyberattack targeting Apple IDs.
Bad actors are using SMS phishing campaigns that send messages claiming to be from Apple, prompting users to visit a link to an 'important request' about iCloud.
California-based Symantec security firm discovered the attack this month, warning the links lead to fake websites that urge users to hand over their Apple ID information.
Apple has established guidelines for such an attack, urging iPhone owners to use two-factor authentication that requires a password and six-digit verification code to access their account from an outside device.
[ZH] The top prosecutor in Arkansas warned on July 2 that Americans should be wary of using the Temu marketplace app because it’s effectively a "data theft business."
"The threat from China is not new, and it is real," Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin told Fox Business on July 2, a week after his office filed a lawsuit against the company. "Temu is not an online marketplace like Amazon or Walmart. It’s a data theft business that sells goods as a means to an end."
He said that it’s "common for an online marketplace like Amazon, like Walmart, to collect certain consumer data as part of the normal course of business. I think we all know that that’s not what’s going on here."
Instead, the company is using malware and spyware to "get into your phone, your device, and to collect your data," Mr. Griffin told the outlet.
"Not just traditional consumer data, but using malware, spyware to have complete access to your information. And [taking it] one step further, their code is written in such a way to evade detection," he said.
Temu is operated by Shanghai, China-based parent company Pinduoduo Inc., which includes "former Chinese communist officials" in its ranks, Mr. Griffin said.
The lawsuit, filed against the firm’s parent company, is seeking a jury trial as well as a permanent block against Temu’s data-collection activities. It also seeks a $10,000 fine for each violation of an Arkansas state law known as the Deceptive Practices Act.
The suit primarily cites research from Grizzly Research, which analyzes publicly traded firms, and alleges that Temu can "purposely ... gain unrestricted access to a user’s phone operating system, including, but not limited to, a user’s camera, specific location, contacts, text messages, documents, and other applications."
In its report, Grizzly Research said that it suspects that Temu is "already, or intends to, illegally sell stolen data from Western country customers to sustain a business model that is otherwise doomed for failure."
"Temu is estimated to be losing $30 per order. Its ad spending and shipping costs (1 to 2 weeks from China, expedited to U.S. delivery) are astronomical," the report states.
"One is left wondering how this business could ever be profitable. Temu is a notoriously bad actor in its industry. We see rampant user manipulation, chain-letter-like affinity scams to drive signups, and overall, the most aggressive and questionable techniques to manipulate large numbers of people to install the app."
In a statement to The Epoch Times on Tuesday evening, a Temu spokesperson that it was "disappointed" and said the Arkansas lawsuit doesn’t cite "any independent fact-finding."
"The allegations in the lawsuit are based on misinformation circulated online, primarily from a short-seller, and are totally unfounded. We categorically deny the allegations and will vigorously defend ourselves," the firm stated. "We understand that as a new company with an innovative supply chain model, some may misunderstand us at first glance and not welcome us."
The spokesperson continued, "We are committed to the long-term and believe that scrutiny will ultimately benefit our development. We are confident that our actions and contributions to the community will speak for themselves over time."
According to analytics website Backlinko, Temu was the most downloaded shopping app around the world in 2023, with more than 330 million downloads—about 1.8 times more than the Amazon Shopping app.
On July 1, the Texas Public Policy Foundation issued a similar warning about the app, saying that it "can access almost anything on your phone," which means that Chinese Communist Party officials "could theoretically install applications and spyware files on an individual’s smart device to use for complete surveillance of all user activity on a phone.
"This would allow China to monitor keystrokes and logs to have direct insight into login credentials for other social media, emails, and bank accounts," the foundation warned.
Temu officials didn’t respond by press time to a request by The Epoch Times for comment.

Since ACA JOE endorsed Temu, that should be enough warning to NOT shop at Temu!
#2
I get contant TEMU ads on my mobile, the last one offering a summer dress for 1.30 Euros (1.40 US$). This is absurd, so the warning seems warranted.

Both privacy rapists. At least the Chinese don't give a crap about ordinary Americans. The deep state can and has ordered us censored: see the Twitter Files.
[BBC] Australian fans of a late morning McDonald's breakfast are having to wake up earlier.
The fast food giant has temporarily shortened the hours of its breakfast service in the country by 90 minutes due to an egg shortage caused by a bird flu outbreak.
It is currently serving its full breakfast menu only until 10:30am, instead of the usual midday.
"Like many retailers, we are carefully managing supply of eggs due to the current industry challenges," McDonald's Australia said in a statement sent to the BBC.
"We’re continuing to work closely with our network of Aussie farmers, producers, and suppliers, as the industry comes together to manage this challenge."
Several strains of bird flu have been detected in 11 poultry facilities across southeast Australia in the past two months.
Authorities have said they have the situation under control.
"Consumers can expect to see some empty shelves in the short-term, however, supplies are being re-directed to areas with short supply," the Australian government said.
"Consumers should refrain from purchasing more eggs than required."
Bird flu has affected fewer than 10% of Australia's egg laying hens but, some businesses have imposed limits on how many eggs people can buy.
The outbreaks have led to the culling of about 1.5m chickens in Australia.
So far, none of the strains detected have been the H5N1 variant of bird flu.
H5N1 has spread through bird and mammal populations globally, infecting billions of animals and a small number of humans.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A nationwide discount homeware chain with almost 1,400 stores is the latest to warn of money problems.
Big Lots has told financial regulators it may not be able to continue as a 'going concern' - raising the risk of store closures and bankruptcy.
The Columbus, Ohio-based chain has seen its takings fall consistently for each of the past ten quarters. And it lost an eye-watering $132milloin in the first three months of 2024.
Managers of its stores say they are not surprised. They have complained that the company's bosses at HQ send truck-loads of products that customers don't want.
In a recent filing with regulators, Big Lots said that the losses so far this year - on top of further losses in 2022 and 2023 - meant it had used up most of its spare cash. Retailers need money in the bank to cover the cost of stock.
Big Lots used to be a neat little place to pickup items at a good discounted prices. Then it started selling furniture, mattresses, and other high ticket items at typical prices. Many food items on the shelf started showing beyond the BB dates.
OLLIE'S is now what Big Lots use to be 20 years ago.
