[Mail] Fugitive Ghislaine Maxwell is reportedly hiding out in a luxury flat close to billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's £7million Paris apartment.
The socialite has apparently escaped to her native France as the FBI continues to investigate links between her and convicted paedophile Epstein, as reported by The Sun.
Maxwell has rarely been seen in public since 2016 and rumours have circulated frequently since then on her whereabouts.
She is now understood to have moved into a flat on on Avenue Matignon, in Paris's 8th Arrondissement, a wealthy part of the city dotted with upmarket retail shops.
A source told the newspaper: 'Ghislaine is moving locations every month to keep private investigators off her tail and is staying at the residences of trusted colleagues and contacts.
'She wants to remain in France for as long as she can to take advantage of extradition laws and has a huge network of contacts willing to keep her hidden.
'Under French law anyone born on French soil is safe from extradition to another country, regardless of the alleged crime.

[The Lid] Rayshard Brooks didn’t have to be six feet under the ground, right now. It is his own fault that he got shot. You can’t be drunk, violently resist arrest, fight with cops, grab a taser to use as a weapon, and then expect to sleep in your own bed that night. Atlanta cops have resigned.
It just doesn’t add up.

[Townhall] A Macy's employee in Michigan was knocked to the ground and punched multiple times by a black man. The attacker's brother, a rapper, told the New York Post that his brother assaulted the employee because he used a racial slur. After investigating the incident, Macy's says the attack on one of their employees was "unprovoked."
"We are deeply saddened about the incident that took place on Monday at Macy’s Genesee Valley as the safety of Macy’s customers and colleagues is our top priority," the company said. "Violence in the workplace of any kind is unacceptable. All the materials from the evening have been reviewed and it is clear that the attack was unprovoked. We are working closely with local authorities on this investigation, and will defer any further comments about the case to them per policy."
The video filmed by the brother circulating on Twitter does not show the white employee using the "n-word," but the black assailant can be heard calling the white employee the "n-word" several times.
[Mil.com] PALMER, Alaska -- Almost 30 years after hiker Christopher McCandless died in an abandoned 1940s-era bus in the Alaska wilderness, that bus has been airlifted away from its resting place just outside Denali National Park by the Alaska Army National Guard.
The so-called "Magic Bus" had become a dangerous tourist destination deep in Alaska's interior, about 19 miles down the Stampede Trail. McCandless' story became particularly famous after it was told in the book "Into the Wild" and a movie by the same name.
Lengthy video.
[60MinutesAustralia] Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has made his name – and plenty of enemies – by publishing military and other highly sensitive secrets of multiple governments around the world. As a consequence, he now calls a maximum-security jail in England home while he fights a bitter battle with the Trump administration which wants him extradited to the United States. Before prison, the controversial – and now very frail – Australian spent seven years holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. And that’s where Assange conceived his own top secrets – two sons with his, until now, equally secretive fiancée, Stella Moris.

[New York Post] A British man arrested in a Brussels airport with cocaine inside of an artificial penis could face up to three years in prison for the offense, prosecutors said last week.
The man was busted trying to smuggle the drugs from Jamaica into Belgium last February, The New Zealand Herald reported.
He allegedly told investigators that he intended to use the cocaine for personal use once he returned home.
Prosecutors did not prove the man, who said he got the drugs while visiting his mom in the Caribbean county, was a "mule," but still asked for a 36-month sentence, the report said.
Defense attorneys argued such a sentence is too severe since the man is in poor health.
"My client has kidney failure and needs to exercise as well as follow a proper diet," his lawyer said, according to the report.

[Oilprice.com] In the first days of June 2020, the Greek industrial holding Mytilineos announced that it had concluded a long-term contract with Gazprom’s commercial arm.
The onset of continuous US LNG deliveries to Greece bears a much harsher reputational blow to Russian energy interests than Qatari or Algerian supplies.
Across the planet LNG prices in May-June 2020 have dropped to unprecedentedly low levels — landed seaborne prices still remain below $2 per MMBtu, compelling rivals of LNG to counteract the trend. In the vanguard of those affected is the Russian pipeline gas monopoly Gazprom which expects its exports to drop from the peak of 199-200 BCm per year attained in the last 2 years to some 167 BCm in 2020. Pipeline gas supplies to Europe seems somewhat paralyzed currently with little to no availability of ramping up exports despite producers curbing natural gas production concurrently to oil. With this in mind, Gazprom is looking to beat its competitors on their own field, having no liquefaction facility that could realistically target European customers. In the first days of June 2020, the Greek industrial holding Mytilineos announced that it had concluded a long-term contract with Gazprom’s commercial arm, Gazprom Export, to import Russian natural gas. The news in and of itself should not be considered as anything surprising — Mytilineos had several short-term contracts with the Russian firm in the past couple of years and imported 0.6 BCm in 2019. Were one to examine the details of the deal though, it gets much more interesting — the tenor of the deal is for 10 years until 2030, i.e. even longer than the main import contract with Russia, the one state-owned DEPA has until 2026. Under DEPA’s contract Greece has imported an average of 2.5 BCm per year from Gazprom, via the Soviet-era TransBalkan pipeline....
....The Revithoussa LNG terminal, the only existing LNG plant in the Balkans as of today, lies 45km to the west of Athens and serves predominantly the needs of the capital area. Concurrently to Revithoussa's increasing intake, Greece might see the launch of another LNG import facility, this time serving the country's north, in the form of the 5.5 BCm per year Alexandroupolis FSRU. The development of a second LNG plant coincides with Greece and Bulgaria finishing the IGB interconnector, assumed to go onstream in 2021 to allow for the cross-border movements of TANAP-supplied Azerbaijani gas – the same route would be used for Alexandroupolis volumes (Bulgaria's Bulgartransgaz already took a 20% stake in the project company and Romania's Romgaz seeks to do the same).
The Mytilineos deal in and of itself will not witness any major breakthrough in the upcoming years – the metallurgy and energy-focused portfolio of the Greek company necessitated some 0.6 BCm in 2019, around 12-13% of the country's annual gas consumption. Yet it is a testament to renewed Russian interest to the Greek market, a harbinger of things to come – be they in the form of advantageous price formulas for pipeline deliveries or even straight LNG supplies sourced from reliable sources. Hence, the struggle for Russia's share not to decrease in the Mediterranean will encompass Turkey, the hotspot of vying so far, Greece and most probably Italy, too, as all of them have seen increased levels of LNG imports in general and US supplies in particular.

[New York Post] The family of a Texas woman who once portrayed Aunt Jemima has called on the breakfast brand to reconsider its decision to scrap the ubiquitous fixture from its products.
Vera Harris said the family takes pride in Quaker Oates scouting her second cousin Lillian Richard to become a brand representative in 1925, news station KLTV reported.
"She was considered a hero in [her hometown of] Hawkins, and we are proud of that. We do not want that history erased," Harris said.
Harris said Richard worked for the company for 23 years, traveling around as Aunt Jemima to serve pancakes until she suffered a stroke.
"She made an honest living out of it for a number of years. She toured around Texas," Harris said, noting there "wasn’t a lot of jobs, especially for black women back in that time."
Harris said the family was upset by Quaker Oates’ announcement last week that it would rebrand Aunt Jemima products because the character’s origins are "based on a racial stereotype."
"We want the world to know that our cousin Lillian was one of the Aunt Jemimas and she made an honest living. We would ask that you reconsider just wiping all that away," Harris said.
"I wish we would take a breath and not just get rid of everything, because good or bad, it is our history. Removing that wipes away a part of me — a part of each of us."

Quaker Oats had better stick with what they've got. No claims of the dreaded 'racial appropriation' of product names in nearly 100 years. Difficult record to break.
Jemima, Amos, Andy, appear to be names no longer in vogue.

[DAILYWIRE] Flavortown.That’s what thousands of people want to rename Columbus, Ohio, according to a new petition posted on change.org.
And the petition poster sounds serious.
"Beloved Buckeyes one and all," wrote someone identifying himself as Tyler Woodbridge. "Columbus is an amazing city, but one whose name is tarnished by the very name itself. Its namesake, Christopher Columbus, is in The Bad Place because of all his raping, slave trading, and genocide. That’s not exactly a proud legacy."
"Why not rename the city Flavortown? The new name is twofold. For one, it honors Central Ohio’s proud heritage as a culinary crossroads and one of the nation’s largest test markets for the food industry," Woodbridge added. "Secondly, chef-lebrity Guy Fieri was born in Columbus, so naming the city in honor of him (he’s such a good dude, really) would be superior to its current nomenclature. "

This seems appropriate. Not because it is a "good" idea so much as it is a very "Ohio" idea. We here in Michigan would love to see our southern neighbor finally outdoing us in stupidity this year.

At one time, back in the 1970s, Columbus was known as the Quaalude Capital of America. Flavortown is probably more acceptable. There is already a Buckeye Town in AZ.
Too many left-wing spineless politicians have caved in to these anarchists who want to tear down everything. These politicians have just thrown gasoline on the fire.
