[Alexander] ’Four women were injured in a stabbing spree at Louisiana Tech University on Monday morning.
"Shortly after 9 a.m. there was a stabbing incident reported at the Lambright Sports and Wellness Center on the Louisiana Tech University campus. Tech Police received a phone call at approximately 9:08 a.m. and had the suspect in custody at approximately 9:12 a.m.," the school said in a statement.
"The attack happened outside of the building as the victims were leaving. The suspect then fled south toward main campus and was apprehended by campus police without incident." the school said.’
[BLAZE] A Charlotte postal worker has been accused of stealing at least $24 million from the U.S. Postal Service and collaborating with two others to sell the checks, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Nakedra Shannon, 29, has been accused of stealing incoming and outgoing checks at a mail processing distribution center in Charlotte over a period of four months. Shannon was apparently employed as a mail processing clerk at the center from March 2021 to July 2023, according to the Charlotte Observer.
The two other suspects involved in the case are Donnell Gardner, 27, and Desiray Carter, 24, who have been accused of posting stolen checks worth $12 million on the Telegram Channels application. The report noted that the alleged theft included taking $8 million in U.S. Treasury checks.
The three suspects carried out their operation from April to July of this year. They are believed to have made hundreds of thousands of dollars in the scheme, and now they are being charged with conspiracy to commit financial institution fraud, which could carry a sentence of 30 years in prison.
Jimmie Gardner, the brother-in-law of former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams ...sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Now she wants to be somebody's vice president so she can sour grape about that too... , was arrested on allegations of human trafficking, according to Tampa authorities.
Tampa police said they arrested the 57-year-old Friday for allegedly attempting to engage in sexual acts with a 16-year-old girl.
A release from the Tampa Police Department stated Gardner met the minor at 1:43 a.m. and invited her to his room at the Renaissance Hotel at International Plaza.
The girl accepted his invitation, and when she got there, he allegedly offered her money for sex, police said.
"The victim initially agreed but later told Gardner that she no longer wanted to engage and he became angry," the release said. "Gardner advised the victim that she needed to leave his hotel room. The two got involved in a verbal altercation that escalated to a physical dispute after Gardner placed his hands around the victim’s neck, impeding her breathing. After the dispute, Gardner left the hotel room, and the victim called 911."
When officers arrived, Gardner had already left the hotel, but they found the victim at the scene, according to police.
Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, there was only one thought in the mouse's mind: I can do this! I can do this! Then the trap sprung... police said Gardner reported to the Tampa Police District 1 Office. He was arrested on charges of human trafficking for commercial sexual activity (victim less than 18),
Not real trafficking, then, just what they call it when an adult tries to commercialize what was already illegal...
lewd or lascivious touching of minor 16 or 17 years of age by person 24 years of age or older, and a misdemeanor count of battery.
According to the Office of the State Attorney of the 13th Judicial Circuit, Gardner was previously convicted in 1987 for the sexual assault of two women in West Virginia, but he was exonerated in 2016, 27 years later. Two years after his release, he married federal judge Leslie Abrams Gardner.
"Everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence. Our attorneys will prosecute this case as we would any other offender who is alleged to have comm
Officials said Gardner, who was once drafted by the reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Cubs in 1984, now "works as a motivational speaker and emotional intelligence trainer for students and people who were formerly incarcerated" in Georgia.

Look what he did was wrong from the get go.
But I have to also ask and question where were her parents and how is she meeting guys at a Hotel?
Or is she a Free Roaming Street rat making some extra $$$$ on the side?
Fla's consent law, like many states conflicts on many levels.
Legal Statues that conflict
* Fla legal age for marriage is 18.
* But with parent’s consent, it is sixteen (16).
* But any sex with a 16 y/o by any adult is Illegal?
So then you have to ask why does Fla have a 18 y/o Age of Sexual Consent, with a legal exception for 16 with parents approval?
Either way Mr. Gardner is now looking at Sexual Battery. In Fla. its a 1st degree felony, which carries a 15 year to Life sentence.

I don’t think she is the judge. My guess would be that she’s a shift lead at the Golden Corral. The family discount would be a key benefit.

Some federal judges are chubby,
Imperious, hateful, or grubby,
But no one debates

Must be chaste as Caligula's hubby.
A former colleague, historian, and author writes: "Notice the effect of the widespread Muslim immigration into this country, especially here in Fairfax County, VA. What we are seeing now is the convergence of the efforts of two serious enemies – radical Islam and the radical left because they have the same enemies – Western Civilization, Christianity/Judaism, and the United States." [Fairfax County Times] Last week, Jewish students at Langley High School were stunned to see the image of a U.S. flag that a classmate had drawn in Room 1406 during a meeting of the Muslim Students Association,
...the youth arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America and Canada. They started out in colleges and universities, but clearly have moved down to the high school level as well...
replacing the stars on the flag with swastikas and the message "Free Palestine!" in between squiggles for stripes. The image circulated quickly at school, as pro-Palestine students staged a "walkout" on Friday, carrying another sign with swastikas on it and chanting, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," a call-to-action that Jewish groups have decried as an anti-semitic war cry to destroy the state of Israel.
Now, Jewish students and parents are shocked to learn that Langley administrators this week suspended not only the Muslim student who drew the swastikas on the U.S. flag but also an Asian American classmate whom school officials accused of leaking the photo to the public. Local Jewish community members and their allies plan a rally on Nov. 17, at 11 a.m., at Fairfax County Public Schools’ Gatehouse headquarters, which they have renamed "Hatehouse," to protest the retaliation against the Asian American teen and the lack of school district action on anti-Jew hate.
The controversy over swastikas at one of America’s top high schools, just down the road from CIA headquarters, brings the contentious global battle over Israel and Palestine from college campuses and the streets into America’s K-12 school system. For several years, parents have expressed their concerns that administrators at Fairfax County Public Schools are ignoring antisemitism, said Rebecca Schgallis, cofounder of the group United Against Antisemitism. "Fairfax County Public Schools has emboldened students to become even more aggressive in their open antisemitism where they explicitly express support for Hamas and include swastikas in their signage. Jewish students have been threatened at these walkouts, and yet FCPS is falsely claiming to the community that they are peaceful and orderly. When Jewish students and their allies protest against antisemitism, they have their own right to free speech and rights outlined in the Student Rights and Responsibilities violated."
Last week, teens at Robinson Secondary School, off Sideburn Road in Fairfax, rallied in front of their school with a shocking chant breaking out, "Long live Hamas!" Parents who witnessed the chant asked administrators to intervene, but they didn’t, according to a video of the event.
Late last month, across the county at Woodson High School, a Jewish senior, Yakov Schwartz, 18, led a group of half a dozen students, carrying two small Israeli flags, to the football field, where about 250 students organized by the Muslim Students Association rallied against Israel. At one point, students tried to grab his flag, and a mass of anti-Israel students rushed the field to hover menacingly over the Jewish students.
Schwartz said the decision by the Langley administrators to punish the alleged whistleblower follows a pattern and practice of retaliation school district officials mete out against Jewish students and their allies when they raise issues about anti-semitism. "Fairfax County Public Schools doesn’t truly care about making schools safe for every student," he said.

[AFRICANEWS] Liberian leader and football legend George Weah conceded defeat to opposition leader Joseph Boakai after a tight presidential run-off, saying it was time to put national interest above personal interest.
A declaration acclaimed by several citizens of Africa’s oldest republic.
"I am so happy that the president accepted his defeat because he knew very well that he never did good. And now he wants to prove to the Liberians that he loves them by accepting it because if he doesn’t accept it, we will go back to war, and we don’t want to go back there," said Patience Quiah, a nursing student.
"I know by the grace of God he will work very hard to bring a change to Liberia because he said it, he wants to put Liberia on the map of the (other) nations, he wants to put Liberia on the map, that the right thing will be done in this country contrary to those things that have been happening that were not right," added Amos Harris, heavy-duty driver.
"The results announced tonight, though not final, indicate that... Boakai is in a lead that we cannot surpass," Weah said in a speech on national radio late on Friday.
He said his CDC party "has lost the election, but Liberia has won," adding: "This is the time for graciousness in defeat".
The 78-year-old Boakai lost to Weah, 57, by a large margin in the second-round presidential vote in 2017.
With more than 99.5 percent of the polling stations reporting vote tallies after Tuesday's second-round vote, Boakai had garnered 50.89 percent of ballots cast, according to the election commission.
[NYPOST] Princess Anne had her suspicions about Princess Meghan Markle ...unlikable American former starlet married to the formerly likable Prince Harry. Chock full of lefty political opinions, Markle's most important characteristic is that she is Black, even though she doesn't look it. Her mother, y'see, is half black and her father is white, which would make her a quarter Black. Her half brother described her (to her husband, before their marriage) as a jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage. Once married, she was too good for the Royals and she and Harry decamped to Beverly Hills, kind of like the Clampetts did, thus making a joke of Harry and the royal family heritage... when the American tied the knot with Prince Harry, back in 2018.
The only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth, 73, is said to have believed that the “Suits” actress, 42, would have a “short shelf-life” as a member of the royal family.
Her prescience was soon proven — in 2020, Markle and Harry, 39, took a step back as senior figures of the Firm, ultimately moving to Montecito, Calif.
Royal expert Neil Sean gave some insight into the relationship between the princess and Markle, saying that when the two women first met, “Anne gave very sage advice to the new royal.”
“This senior royal takes no nonsense, much like her father the late Duke of Edinburgh,” Sean said in a recent video on his YouTube channel.

[Washington Examiner] The rate at which prices are rising has slowed somewhat, but prices are still going up. The vast majority of the public is unhappy about it and expects things to get worse.
And as long as President Joe Biden is in office, that is a reasonable expectation, for Biden’s Office of Management and Budget pushed through new regulations this month that will make it easier for every federal agency to raise the regulatory costs of everything people want to do.
At issue is the discount rate that the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs uses when calculating costs and benefits of proposed regulation. These analyses are not required by statute, but the White House has performed them since President Ronald Reagan issued an executive order mandating them in 1981. Presidents from both parties have since embraced Reagan’s requirement, although each president has tweaked the process in one way or another.
Biden’s new twist to the formula would cook the books in favor of costly new regulations. Regulators face many uncertainties when calculating the costs and benefits of regulation, including balancing the trade-offs between higher costs now and benefits decades in the future.
Let’s say the Biden administration is considering new energy efficiency standards that will drive up the costs of dishwashers today. When balancing those real costs that consumers will feel today against the benefits of lower energy consumption in the future, how much weight should regulators put on each side of the scale?
Biden's new regulation tips the scales in favor of future benefits. Under the old rule, if new energy efficiency standards for dishwashers cost $1 million today but netted $2 million in benefits a decade from now, regulators would say it wasn’t worth it because consumers could have netted more benefits from spending their money on other things.

I recently had to get a new electric stove and a new dish washer. The are both "energy efficient" and the dishwasher is "water efficient". It takes longer to heat anything on the stove, the eyes keep turning on and off. I have to run the dishwasher twice to get the dishes clean. Same thing with my dryer. I have to run it twice to get clothes dry.

[HILL] Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) called for an investigation of the House Jan. 6 Committee on Saturday after security footage from inside the Capitol was released, claiming that the committee selectively ignored evidence.
"Why didn’t Liz Cheney and Adam Kizinger ever refer to any of these tapes?" Lee questioned on X, formerly Twitter, referring to video showing police assisting rioters inside the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Former Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) were the only Republican members of the committee.
"Maybe they never looked for them. Maybe they never even questioned their own narrative," he continued. "Maybe they were just too busy selectively leaking the text messages of Republicans they wanted to defeat."
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) began releasing 40,000 hours of security camera footage from the Capitol riots on Friday.
"This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials," Johnson said.
More than 1,100 people have been charged with crimes related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and over 400 with assaulting police officers, according to the Justice Department. Rioters caused an estimated $1.5 million in damage to the Capitol Building, the Architect of the Capitol said.
[Rolling Stone] SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE opened with President Joe Biden (Mikey Day) welcoming "Chinese dignitary" Tian Tian (Bowen Yang), one of the three pandas that were transported from the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. to China earlier this month.
"I’m honored to be here, but am I the only one that was surprised that the presidents of the two biggest economies in the world met, and everyone’s just like, ’What’s up with the pandas?'" Yang said behind the presidential seal. "I mean, I get it. I’m hot, I’m smart, I’m alluringly asexual, but there have to be bigger issues, right?"
Biden met this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who indicated that his country will send more pandas to the U.S., calling them "envoys of friendship between the Chinese and American peoples." After the departure of Tian Tian, Mei Xiang and their cub, Xiao Qi Ji, only four pandas remain in the states.
[Breitbart] Former President Donald Trump "poses the biggest danger to the world in 2024," says the Economist, a leading globalist magazine.
"A shadow looms over the world," declares the November 16 article, adding that "the prospect of a second Trump term fills the world’s parliaments and boardrooms with despair. But despair is not a plan. It is past time to impose order on anxiety."
The article does not suggest any plan to "impose order" on American democracy.
In prior decades, establishment groups often offered concessions — mostly insincere — to millions of ordinary U.S. voters.
Today’s voters oppose establishment wealth-shifting policies on migration, wages, trade, and war-making, and the voters might be persuaded to switch their votes in exchange for once-routine campaign promises. However, the article does not even mention the primary issue that is powering Trump — the globalist establishment’s destructive determination to extract human wealth from poor countries via migration into the United States, Europe, and other developed countries.

[MAIL] Donald Trump has suggested he will do a trade deal with the Taliban if he is re-elected as president in 2024.
Speaking to a crowd in Fort Dodge, Iowa, on Saturday, the former president said he'd do so in order to regain control of Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan and monitor China.
The United States left the military facility on July 2, 2021 before American troops fully withdrew from the country weeks later on August 30.
But former president Trump hit out at the decision to hand control of Bagram Airfield to Afghan forces in a campaign rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa on Saturday.
The 77-year-old claimed the base is located an hour away from where China makes its nuclear missiles and said it is now occupied by them.
He told the crowd he wanted to get Bagram Airfield back as part of a trade deal with Afghanistan.
