[FoxNews] A Kansas highway trooper rescued a 6-year-old girl missing for over a month after she was kidnapped and took two men she was with into custody, authorities said Saturday.
The Kansas Highway Patrol trooper pulled over an SUV for a traffic violation and discovered that the front-seat passenger had a warrant for his arrest from another state for kidnapping a 6-year-old girl just over a month earlier, the agency said.
The trooper spotted a girl around that age inside the vehicle with the passenger and driver, both men in their 60s, highway patrol said. It was also discovered that the driver had a criminal history which included homicide and numerous weapons violations.
The trooper, with help from a local sheriff’s deputy, secured both men before safely removing the girl from the vehicle, highway patrol said.
"This 6-year-old girl gave the trooper a false name and date of birth, after having been coached to do so, in an attempt to keep the adult out of jail," the agency said. "Ultimately, our trooper calmed the girl down and got her to tell him her real name."
The girl was identified as the kidnapping victim who had been with the suspect on the run for over a month, according to authorities.
The girl was unharmed, according to the agency, and the two men were taken into custody.
Kansas Highway Patrol told Fox News Digital that the traffic stop occurred in February. They were unable to share additional information at this time to protect the identity of the child and the integrity of the open case.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A trans-identified female activist has been charged with two felonies after a domestic violence assault was reported to police in Frankfort, Kentucky, with the suspect claiming the marks left on the female victim were from "rough sex."
According to the State Journal, a 911 caller reported the incident at 4:11 am on Friday morning, with the female victim having "marks from head to toe." The suspect, Selena Marie Metts, also known as "Chad Lee Metts," claimed to officers that the two had "very rough sex, which resulted in the marks."
The victim claimed to police that Metts had repeatedly punched her in the face, used a metal piece of a fan to hit her in the face, held her down, and choked her to the point of being unable to breathe. The responding officer noted that the victim had red scratch marks and bruises to her head, face, neck, breasts, and arms."
The victim wrote on social media, "It makes me sick that the his defense is 'rough sex'. We didn't even have sex that night. These marks are not even close to rough sex. I'm going to scream this forever, I'm not going to be silent about it. He had intent on killing me that night and I'm thankful for my friend for calling. I'm beyond blessed with the friends that I have who are supportive and here. This is the same person who begged and begged and claimed they loved me and my kids so much. If they hit you once they will never stop."

But unlike a number of (D)'s, he resigned immediately, KNOWING his Political party would not cover for his perverted crap.
Plus, his wife (R) quickly dumped his ass for screwing around, instead riding it out to use his political position for self gain. EG. Bill-Hillary and few other D's
[IsraelTimes] A New York student is suing after high school officials painted over a parking spot that she had decorated with a watermelon slice — a symbol of support for Palestinians.
The lawsuit was filed this month in Brooklyn federal court and argues that the Half Hollow Hills Central School District violated the student’s free speech rights and inflicted emotional trauma on her when it painted over her design in September, just days into the new school year.
The student, who is identified in the suit by the pseudonym Jane Khan, had joined other classmates in decorating her parking spot — an annual tradition at Half Hollow Hills High School West — located on Long Island.
The senior painted a watermelon slice featuring a keffiyeh scarf-like pattern, followed by the phrase “Peace Be Upon You” and her name written in Arabic. The student is described as a Muslim American of Pakistani descent.
“Ms. Khan’s inclusion of the watermelon with a keffiyeh design was an expression of her solidarity with Palestinians — something she feels arises in part from her Muslim identity and Pakistani heritage,” the suit explains.

Given the abundance of liberal white women it's not as though we have some kind of shortage of the mentally ill and unstable. Better they shelter in place...don't call us we'll call you when it's 'safe'.

I sure wish I could do more for its demise than just not pay to see it.
I've already not gone to see it three times!
I just want a story (or robots punching monsters). If you want to send a message, go make a Netflix docudrama.
Even less careful than they are at home, if that can be conceived.
[Breitbart] A Chinese-owned copper mine in Zambia suffered an accident in mid-February that dumped about fifty million liters of acid waste into the local water table, creating both an environmental disaster and a diplomatic rupture between Zambia and China.
The accident occurred on February 18 at the Sino-Metals Leach Zambia copper mine, located in Zambia’s Copperbelt province. China is the dominant operator of copper mines in Zambia, which in turn is one of the most important copper-producing nations in the world.
China’s mining operations in Zambia have been frequently criticized for having poor safety, environmental, and labor standards. Critics accuse the Zambian government of hesitating to confront Beijing or punish Chinese companies because Zambia is over $4 billion in debt to Chinese banks. Zambia defaulted on its massive debts to China in 2020 and restructured those debts in 2023.
Copper mining involves using acidic compounds to separate valuable copper from other minerals. The toxic waste left over from this process, known as “tailings,” is collected in a sealed reservoir. Depending on the processing method used, tailings can be incredibly poisonous, corrosive, or even radioactive.
Proper control and disposal of tailings is a perpetual source of controversy around industrial mining operations. The toxic residue is more or less permanent, so it constantly accumulates in a basin or well, which must be carefully monitored for leakage. Catastrophe results if the toxic material seeps into the surrounding environment.
On February 18, a tailings dam at the Sino-Metals Leach Zambia mine collapsed, resulting in a worst-case calamity: 50 million liters of toxic slurry poured into a stream that connects to the vital Kafue River. This river provides water for plants, fish, animals, and about 12 million human inhabitants, including residents of the national capital, Lusaka. In fact, about 60% of Zambia’s population lives in the Kafue River basin.
Environmental activists called the toxic spill an “environmental disaster of catastrophic consequences” and pronounced the 930-mile-long Kafue River “totally dead.”
Huge numbers of dead fish began washing up on the river banks, wiping out the local fishing industry. Crops watered by the river withered and died. The Zambian military used planes and speedboats to dump hundreds of tons of lime into the river to neutralize the acid waste.
Adding insult to injury — in fact, adding both insult and injury — another Chinese mine suffered a smaller acid waste leak a few days later. A mine worker was killed at this second mine after falling into the acid. Local officials accused the Chinese mine owners of first attempting to conceal the smaller leak and then defying government orders to halt operations. Two managers from the second mine have been placed under arrest.
On February 24, the Zambian government ordered Sino-Metals Leach Zambia Ltd. to halt operations at three of its tailing storage dams until their embankments have been fully repaired.
Environment minister Mike Mposha also ordered the company to supply safe drinking water to communities affected by the toxic spill, and to take all necessary measures to restore the local soil.
Mposha ordered the company to “engage an independent environmental consultant to continuously monitor both surface and groundwater quality” and conduct a biodiversity assessment of the Kafue River, Mwambashi River, and Lusale Stream.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Sunday saw signs that the Sino-Metals Leach Zambia disaster has pushed China-Zambia relations to the breaking point.
University of Johannesburg research director Emmanuel Matambo said a watershed moment arrived when the Zambian government, previously reluctant to criticize Beijing in any way because of its titanic debts, spoke up against China’s handling of the copper mine catastrophe. Until now, even Zambian politicians who campaigned as staunch critics of China have always gone silent as soon as they’ve won office.
Matambo said decades-old criticism of China’s reckless environmental record is once again being heard in public now that a Chinese company has caused one of the worst ecological disasters in Zambia’s history.
“While this concern had died down around the 2010s, the Kafue spillage will revive it, and will shine a very unflattering light on Chinese investment in Zambia,” he said.

The Guardian, which dials up Maximum Vapors over any pollution by a US company, says nothing about this that I can find. Which may say something about how the Guardian survives with no visible means of support.

On August 5, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began clearing material from the opening of the Gold King Mine in Silverton, Colorado, to install a pipe to pump water out of the mine. At 10:30 a.m., the material blocking the tunnel entry suddenly gave way, and a large buildup of water that had collected behind the debris was released into Cement Creek, a tributary of the Animas River.

I spent part of my career in industrial wastewater treatment. Mining is a challenging business. The acids in that water can definitely be treated. The Chinese are just too cheap to do it. And don’t get me started on that EPA disaster of their own making. I did a presentation to the EPA office in Denver about removing heavy metals from legacy mine water and they couldn’t have cared less.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... announced on Monday that Hyundai will be investing $5.8 billion to build a steel plant in Louisiana, as part of a larger $21 billion investment into the country in the next few years. This is the latest company to announce multi-billion-dollar investments into the country.
Trump said that the new Louisiana steel plant would produce 2.7 million metric tons of steel per year and create more than 1,400 jobs for American steel workers. He said that there will be "major expansion after that."
"This will be Hyundai's first-ever steel mill in the United States—one of the largest companies in the world, by the way—supplying steel for its auto parts and auto plants in Alabama and Georgia, which will soon produce more than 1 million American-made cars every single year."
Trump said that the investment from the South Korean company "is a clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work, and I hope other things also, but the tariffs are bringing them in at levels that have not been witnessed. Hyundai will be producing steel in America and making its cars in America, and as a result, they'll not have to pay any tariffs."
A couple of the main reasons we saw many US manufactures LEAVE the USA, was their Union leadership constant overbearing demands, strikes while under contract and production disruptions that they caused.
The political "donations" made to get NAFTA passed.
The another reason was Gov. with its Taxes, upon taxes and always increasing local EPA reg's.
So has the Local/State/Fed Gov's and the Steel and UAW Unions learned their lessons?
