[WMBF News] GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - On Thursday night after a deputy was critically wounded in the line of duty, an Upstate sheriff said he believes a miracle occurred in Greenville, South Carolina.
Corporal Lucas Watts with the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office was struck by gunfire while deputies were pursuing a suspect on Nov. 16.
During a Sunday morning service at Westminster First Baptist Church, Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw opened up to his church about the extent of Watts’ injuries.
"Just so you all understand the significance of his injuries, I’m not talking about a grazing wound to the head," Crenshaw said. "I’m talking about a bullet to his brain so that you understand just how significant his injury was. I didn’t share that with my folks on the scene, it wasn’t the time."
While Crenshaw was on scene after the shooting, he said he got a phone call saying he was needed at the hospital. He drove from Fair Play to Greenville Memorial Hospital, where he said he was told that the deputy’s wounds were not survivable.

Why not this, which actually is covered by the US Constitution / Bill Of Rights? [LawEnforcementToday] Last Tuesday, the Holton Township Board of Trustees adopted a resolution designating the township a Second Amendment sanctuary, promising the township will not enforce red-flag laws restricting gun and ammunition possession. The Muskegon County township followed the lead of Livingston County, which passed a similar resolution earlier this year.

Meanwhile, the Michigan Court of Claims found the Michigan House violated the state’s Open Meetings Act during committee hearings discussing the imposition of several anti-gun bills, Great Lakes Gun Rights posted on X.
During hearings, the legislature refused to allow, or severely limited, the ability of pro-gun rights speakers to testify during committee hearings. The bills were proposed ostensibly in response to a shooting at Michigan State University. Groups such as Great Lakes Gun Rights and Michigan Open Carry were silenced, they allege, by anti-gun committee chairs.
However, the court declined to issue an injunction preventing further illegal acts by the Michigan legislature, believing they would comply in the future.
Save from paying $Millions across the state for 'no work' programs.

Now, all they have to do is actually make it happen.
Same thing was done in Texas. Problem is, once administrators grow their little kingdom, it's not gonna shrink. They'll ignore the law, lie and hide it.

[AFRICANEWS] The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, who was removed from office in June, was on Friday (Nov .17) charged with procurement fraud at a local court, which remanded him in prison pending his bail ruling.
In amended charges, the Nigerian goverment said Godwin Emefiele illegally awarded contracts for dozens of vehicles during his time as the governor of the apex bank in Africa’s largest economy, according to court documents.
The charge sheet alleged that Emefiele used his position as the bank’s governor to "confer a corrupt advantage" on another member of staff by awarding the contracts to a company with links to that staff member, thereby breaching Nigeria’s procurement laws.
Appearing in court in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, Emefiele pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to the charges, which could land him in jail for at least five years if convicted. He has been in jug for most of the time since he was removed from office.
Regarded as one of the most powerful government officials in Nigeria when he led the bank, Emefiele's nine years of overseeing Nigeria’s monetary policy affairs was ended by Nigeria’s new president, Bola Tinubu, shortly after he took office in May.
The Nigerian presidency had said his suspension was to enable an investigation into the central bank’s affairs as part of new reforms in the financial sector, though it did not surprise many because of some of the bank's policies had been seen as controversial such as Nigeria’s failed currency swap program.
Some of his monetary policies also appeared different from the agenda of Tinubu while he was running for president — which matters in a country where the presidency has a huge influence on how the central bank operates.
His prolonged detention and investigation had complicated his case, leading him to sue Nigeria’s secret police for allegedly breaching his fundamental rights by detaining him longer that the period provided by the law. He was later released on court orders.
[NYPOST] Argentina ...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita... elected libertarian outsider Javier Milei as its new president on Sunday, rolling the dice on an outsider with radical views to fix an economy battered by triple-digit inflation, a looming recession and rising poverty.
Official results have not been released, but his rival, Peronist ...another whack at Fascism that did't work, except for the musical... Economy Minister Sergio Massa, conceded in a speech.
His candidacy was hampered by the country’s worst economic crisis in two decades while he has been at the helm.
Milei is pledging economic shock therapy.
His plans include shutting the central bank, ditching the peso, and slashing spending, potentially painful reforms that resonated with voters angry at the economic malaise, but sparked fears of austerity in others.
"Milei is the new thing, he’s a bit of an unknown and it is a little scary, but it’s time to turn over a new page," said 31-year-old restaurant worker Cristian as he voted on Sunday.
But Milei’s challenges are enormous.
He will have to deal with the empty coffers of the government and central bank, a creaking $44 billion debt program with the International Monetary Fund, inflation nearing 150% and a dizzying array of capital controls.

I remember the first time I heqard of Wawa. Was out in the Lehigh Valley and asked a young female employee at the desk in my hotel for some directions. She said "go down two lights and make a left at the Wawa" in a bubbly girl voice. I said to myself "Huh?" and went out to my car. Sure enough, a couple blocks later, I saw a Wawa for the first time. They're all over in Florida and very popular.

[X] My partners and I have been lifetime data scientists. We own the digital ID of every mobile device/computer in the U.S. and have indexed and archived every IP address in the world. Our extensive experience in big and deep data, including geotracking and geolocation makes our dozens of data companies the top authority for providing data to corporations, law enforcement and U.S. government agencies like the CIA, NSA, DoD, DIA, NGA, NRO, FBI, as well as Interpol and foreign intelligence organizations.
There are a number of videos documenting these ghost buses as well as a number of mostly nondescript DOJ vans that dropped off ninja wearing individuals that appear in other videos to have breached the Capitol cutting fencing, removing barricades, opening doors, and other nefarious behaviors.
We also tracked the infamous J6 ’pipe bomber’ from one of these vans. Later, we eventually tracked them to a Virginia Metro station where a perfect capture of their vehicle license plate was made.
The FBI has ALL of this information. Shortly after they were alerted, however, AT&T mysteriously ’accidentally’ corrupted that and only that particular cell phone user’s data.
Additionally, their mobile device was used hundreds of times before and after J6 accessing keycard required DOJ/FBI parking garages and buildings.

If it was not a government operation, it would have been featured in the J6 hearings and all the wrong people would be screaming at the FBI to solve the case. Instead there is no interest or progress.

/\ Yes indeed Supe. Once again, always examine the obvious, but not discussed.
[WABE] The North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church voted to allow 261 congregations to break from the denomination amid a schism over theological differences and the role of LGBTQ+ people in the church.
The conference ratified the disaffiliation requests from the congregations during a special session Saturday, allowing the churches to leave the denomination, news outlets report. The exit marked a "solemn day," the North Georgia Conference of the UMC said in a news release.
The United Methodist Church has long debated its bans on same-sex marriages and the ordination of openly LGBTQ+ clergy. The denomination forbids the marriage or ordination of "self-avowed, practicing homosexuals," but some U.S. churches and clergy have defied the bans. Many conservatives have chosen to leave amid a growing defiance of those bans.
So far 7,286 congregations, many in the South and Midwest, have received approval to disaffiliate from the denomination since 2019, according to an unofficial tally by United Methodist News Service. Most of the disaffiliations, more than 5,000, occurred this year.
Conservatives launched a new Global Methodist Church.

Praise the Lord for 261 congregations that have had enough.
The UMC has long since abandoned the Bible and Chrisitanity in return for the mess of pottage that is fashionable woke-ism. They deserve what they are getting.

This move should have been made 25 years ago--there were signs aplenty that scriptural truth was no longer in fashion with the leadership.
Remember when the British navy ruled the seas? Sadly, this is not that navy.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Royal Navy nuclear submarine equipped with Trident missiles suffered a huge malfunction that sent it into an endless dive before the vessel was righted moments before the crew faced being crushed by underwater pressure, it was claimed today.
The Vanguard class sub had been carrying 140 crew when its depth gauge suddenly failed while on a mission in the Atlantic.
It caused a frantic scrabble with engineers managing to stop the submarine and its nuclear reactor from plunging further just moments before disaster struck.
The deep sea vessel, carrying Trident 2 missiles, was on patrol when the depth indicators stopped working, with its crew falsely believing it was level when in fact it was diving deeper into the ocean.
It was only when engineers at the back of the sub found a second gauge indicating they were headed towards the 'danger zone' that they sounded the alarm.
'It's not the engineers' job to control the sub's depth but they saw how deep they were and realised something was wrong,' a source told The Sun.
In January, defence chiefs launched an urgent investigation after workmen allegedly used glue to repair broken bolts inside a nuclear reactor chamber onboard HMS Vanguard.
The unsuitable repairs to the bolt heads, which had sheared off after being over-tightened, were discovered during a routine check aboard the sub, according to The Sun.
Repair work was being undertaken as part of a dry dock refurbishment at HMNB Devonport in Plymouth, which is behind schedule by four years and £300million over budget.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace is said to have demanded 'assurances about future work' carried out on the 15,900-ton vessel by established contractor Babcock following the discovery.
