[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Naomi Elkins, 27, was arrested at her home in the predominantly Orthodox Jewish community of Lakewood Tuesday night and was charged with two counts of murder, possession of a weapon and other offenses relating to the deaths of her two children, ages just 1 and 3.
She told authorities who rushed to the scene that she felt she 'needed to kill the children for religious purposes' after they returned home from Giggles Daycare - where she worked and where the children attended, according to arrest documents obtained by the New York Post.
She is said to have told the officers she realized she had done something wrong, and called Hatzolah Medical Services - a Jewish volunteer ambulance program - telling dispatchers there she had hurt her children.
As cops questioned Elkins in the aftermath, she reportedly noted she previously struggled with bad feelings when her husband left on a business trip on May 24.
She said she dropped her kids off at the daycare that day, and spent the night praying, according to 6ABC.
The buried lede:
Elkins' family now says she has a history of mental health issues.
So many repetitions that this is a Jewish community, but only one hint and this statement that the poor woman is nuts.

Glenmore, not just nuts but unnatural and evil. Mothers are supposed to naturally protect and cherish their children, but Jewish mothers…
mossomo, looking at the situation, I imagine his presence gave an external reason to resist the urge. Without him there she hadn’t the strength, and so succumbed.
[FoxNews] The mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, left 19 children and two teachers dead
The former police chief of Uvalde schools and another former officer were indicted for their response to the 2022 mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead, according to multiple reports on Thursday.
A grand jury indicted former schools police Chief Pete Arredondo and former officer Adrian Gonzales on multiple counts of felony child endangerment, per reporting from the Uvalde Leader-News and the San Antonio Express-News.
The indictments would make Arredondo and Gonzales the first officers to face criminal charges in one of the deadliest shootings in U.S. history.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Texas Department of Public Safety for comment.
A scathing report by Texas lawmakers that examined the police response described Gonzales as one of the first officers to enter the building after the shooting began.
The indictments come more than two years after an 18-year-old gunman opened fire in a fourth grade classroom, where he remained for over an hour before officers confronted and killed him.
In total, nearly 400 law enforcement officers responded to Robb Elementary School on May 24, 2022, some waiting in the hallway outside the classroom, even as the gunman could be heard firing an AR-15-style rifle inside.
Arredondo lost his job three months later. Several officers involved were eventually fired, and separate investigations by the Department of Justice and state lawmakers faulted law enforcement with botching their response to the massacre.
The DOJ released a 600-page report earlier this year that cataloged what it described as "cascading failures" in training, communication, leadership and technology problems that day.
[NYPOST] The Wyoming 14-year-old who was killed protecting his girlfriend from a pair of ski mask-clad teens was held down by one of his attackers while the second assailant hacked him to death, prosecutors revealed.
Dominique Antonio Richard Harris, 15, could face life in prison after pleading not guilty to conspiracy to commit murder charges on Wednesday for his alleged role in the murder of Bobby Maher in April at the Eastridge Mall, in Casper, the Cowboy State Daily reports.
Harris, who is being tried as an adult, admitted to police that he held down Harris to help his alleged co-conspirator, Jarreth Plunkett, 15, stab him, according to court records.
Harris claimed he was only holding down Maher "to make sure the fight was over," but footage from the April 7 attack showed him slamming Maher to the ground and holding him in place as Plunkett stabbed the 14-year-old twice.
Officials said Maher had rushed to the mall to help his girlfriend after she called him about Harris and Plunket allegedly stalking her and a friend.
Harris and Plunkett, who are also accused of stealing knives from a Target prior to the fight, allegedly confronted Maher because they were mad about an incident that happened over spring break at a park in Evansville, according to court records.
Harris claimed that Maher asked the 15-year-olds if they were both "freaks" because he saw them exit a portable bathroom together.
Surveillance footage from the mall showed that Maher tried to usher his girlfriend and her friend out of the shopping center before Plunkett confronted him.
Harris is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, aggravated battery and assault, and misdemeanor theft.
Despite pleading not guilty, defense attorney Brandon Booth said, his client reserved the right to change pleas by reason of mental illness or deficiency.

… charged with first-degree domestic assault and armed criminal action. Peters is accused of secretly putting the chemical Roundup weed killer in her husband’s Mountain Dew on several occasions during May and June of this year. Then, on Sunday, she spiked the drink with insecticide. The victim began suspecting the soda was being tampered with after feeling ill. He was the only one in the household who drank Mountain Dew, kept in that refrigerator. Peters was arrested after being interviewed at the Sheriff’s Office and is being held with no bond.

Michelle was the only one who used Roundup. Mr. Peters finally connected the dots.

"You should thank me. You didn't have any weeds in your Dew, didja?"

When Dew first came out, Dad liked it, straight out of the bottle, but when he poured it over ice, the color turned him off. Never had another drop.

Mountain Dew, stylized as Mtn Dew in some countries, is a carbonated soft drink brand, produced and owned by PepsiCo. The original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman. A revised formula was created by Bill Bridgforth in 1958. The rights to this formula were obtained by the Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia. William H. "Bill" Jones of the Tip Corporation further refined the formula, launching that version of Mountain Dew in 1961. In August 1964, the Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired from Tip by the Pepsi-Cola company, and the distribution expanded across the United States and Canada.
Tried it once in the '60s. Way too much sugar. Never again.

Like Dr. Pepper, it's surprisingly palatable when diluted to about one-third strength. Not that my carbonated bev consumption tops a liter or two per year lately.

[Regnum] Preparations for the coup d'état in Bolivia, the attempt of which was prevented on June 26, had been underway since May 2024. This was stated to journalists by the country's Minister of the Interior Carlos del Castillo on June 27.
The press conference at which he spoke was shown by Canal 26. The head of the department clarified that 17 people were detained in connection with the attempted seizure of power.
“17 people have already been detained in accordance with the order of the Prosecutor General’s Office,” del Castillo said.
The minister emphasized that those detained included people whom the authorities consider “ideologists of the coup.” He added that the Bolivian police are looking for three more soldiers who are suspected of involvement in the events.
As Regnum reported, on June 26, a group of military personnel tried to storm the Bolivian Government Palace. In addition, they occupied the territory of the residence of the head of state, Luis Arce.
The Bolivian leader called the incident an attempted coup. The president of the republic called on its residents to support the authorities and not allow the military to seize power in the country.
Some time later, Bolivian law enforcement agencies arrested the former commander of the Bolivian army, General Juan Jose Zuniga, who led the attempted coup.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the situation in the Latin American republic, called what was happening its sovereign matter. He wished a speedy restoration of calm in Bolivia.
The Russian Foreign Ministry, in turn, stated that Russia strongly condemns the attempted coup in La Paz. In addition, the department added that Moscow expresses full support for the government of Luis Arce.
[X] It seems even the New Consumer Generation (whatever) has figured out the O'Biden Admin / DC Swamp / Power Brokers are outright LYING about what the true inflation rate is.
This guy checked using the Wally World reorder button for a 2022 food order. It was 126.67 in 2022.
In 2024 and without SHRINKFLATION taken into account.
That same order at Walmart is now $414.39.
That's a 227.14% increase in 2 years.
NOTE: Remember that does not include Shrinkflation that Wally World and other businesses have snuck in on us also.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Walgreens is to set to close a 'significant' number of its 8,700 US stores, it said Thursday.
The news came as the company - which also operates under the Duane Reade banner - cut its profit forecast for fiscal year 2024 as shoppers continue to cut spending its stores.
Bosses did not specify an exact number or where the closures would be.
But it could shutter a 'meaningful percent' of the stores of the quarter-or-so locations that are underperforming, CEO Tim Wentworth said in an interview to the Wall Street Journal.
Closures will focus on stores that aren't profitable, are too close to each other or are struggling with theft. It is not yet clear which ones will be affected.
Shares of the Illinois-based company fell more than 15 percent in premarket trading, after having declined 40 percent for the year so far.
Walgreens is to blame for slumping sales by having 'lackluster' deals and high prices, retail expert Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, said.

"too close" About 15 years ago I noticed an explosion of newly built drug stores in my area, it was remarkable then, but none remarked on it. About 3/4 of them have since closed. The expansion seemed senseless at that time.

Ditto the above in pre- and post-K NOLA. Second drugstores (albeit different companies) on certain corners. And for months now at local SoCal K&B... "Dude, where's my Mint Milanos?" Not that they've stocked 'em, or any other cookies, in forever. "Uh, we've got a truck coming in Thursday... you could try back then." Like Gaza! Was amazed recently, kidding a cashier about it, to learn that management had her convinced that Steiner kommt. Sure, who knows?
CVS and Walgreens have tentatively agreed to pay a combined $10 billion to settle lawsuits brought by states and local governments alleging the retailers mishandled prescriptions of opioid painkillers.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030. Livestock contributes around 14.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions globally.
To tackle the scourge, Danish farmers will be expected to pay 300 kroner (around £35) per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent from 2030, up to 750 kroner (around £85) by 2035 - with cows, on average producing around six metric tonnes per year.
Due to an income tax deduction of 60%, the effective cost per ton will start at 120 kroner (£13.60) and increase to 300 kroner by 2035, amounting to a charge of around £75 per cow up to £190 by 2035.
The tax is to be approved in the 179-seat Folketing, or parliament, but the bill is expected to pass after the broad-based consensus.
According to Statistic Denmark, there were as of June 30, 2022, 1,484,377 cows in the Scandinavian country, a slight drop compared to the previous year.

[Regnum] At the meeting, the Central Bank of Turkey kept the key rate at 50% ! per annum.
Time to round up more Gulenists to replenish the treasury at 0% interest.
The regulator’s press service reported this on June 27.
The Turkish Central Bank left the rate unchanged for the third meeting in a row. The last time it was changed was in March, immediately increasing it by 500 basis points.
It is noted that tight monetary policy will be maintained until there is a significant and sustainable decline in monthly inflation and inflation expectations reach the required range.
The regulator expects prices to fall in the second half of the year.
As Regnum reported, on March 21, the Central Bank of Turkey raised the interest rate from 45% to 50%. The regulator explained that the monthly inflation trend was higher than expected. He cited inflation in the service sector as the reason, while domestic demand remained stable.
This interest rate was a record since 2003. The Turkish Central Bank raised the key rate to 45% on January 25. Analysts did not predict a new increase. The previous increase took place on December 21, 2023 - up to 42.5%.
[News With Views] Geoengineering refers to manipulating the environment for man’s ends. However, most of the current applications thereof are intended to end man thus meeting at least some of the goals/demands of the New World Order regarding a significantly reduced world population. One important component of the program is climate or weather modification, the former for long term change in the normal/average weather and the latter to create or modify a short term event, such as storms or an increase — or decrease — in the ambient temperature. With the apparent success of the effort to reduce the influence of God in our lives, we have come to rely on "our leaders" playing God or believing that what we (through them) are fulfilling the role we previously assigned to God — and doing it as well if not better! Thus, humanity has become conceited, believing that we have instrumentally had an effect on climate as reflected by what the influencers tell us humans have done in effecting "climate change," a matter that when examined closely is nothing more than the normal variability in the weather as well as short term changes in the climate that come and go with few existential consequences.
As a result, our so-called scientists believe that they have all the answers and thus feel free to attempt to modify weather and climate, having confidence in the efficacy or correctness of their actions. One major element of the current geoengineering effort is the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment, especially as it exists in earth’s atmosphere. This is the conclusion that their contrived "scientific consensus" has decided is the right thing to do because CO2 as a "greenhouse gas" and thus supposedly warms the climate in a detrimental manner. Of course, they also believe that most CO2 arises from human activities instead of merely being a part of earth’s natural environmental processes. The percentage of the various gasses in our atmosphere is as follows: Nitrogen: 78.1%, Oxygen: 20.9%, Argon: 0.93%, Carbon Dioxide: 0.04%, Trace Gasses: the rest.
