Crime: Illinois man hired teen to kill parents with hammer, police say
The 23-year-old son of an Illinois couple has been charged with hiring a man to try and kill them. The DuPage County Sheriff’s Office said the couple was attacked by a man wielding a hammer at around 2:50 a.m. Sunday. The two were in their home in an unincorporated area near the Chicago suburb of Glen Ellyn. I think that this is just awful. I can't understand why someone would feel the need to hire someone to brutally kill someone.
Politics: Trump brands woman's claim of two-minute Trump Tower smooch fake news
An Ohio woman's claim that Donald Trump stole a long and unwelcome kiss from her in the lobby of Trump Tower some 13 years ago is fake news, the president declared Tuesday. Rachel Crooks, 35, who is running for office in Ohio as a Democrat, told her story most recently to the Washington Post, which published it Tuesday on the front page. . She claimed the then-real estate mogul spied her by the elevators at his signature building as she waited to go upstairs to her job as a secretary for an investment firm. I'm really not sure what to think about this, I mean I don't want to call this woman a liar but why would Trump do this? I mean lets be honest there is no point.
Military: Al Qaeda 'warrior' gets life for killing 2 US soldiers in Afghanistan
A Saudi-born follower of al Qaeda who was convicted in March of killing two U.S. service members in Afghanistan received a life sentence Friday in a New York courtroom. "I can't think of a more serious crime," U.S. District Judge Brian M. Cogan said as he announced the sentence for Harun in a Brooklyn, N.Y., courtroom where a monitor showing the entrance to Harun's cell rested near his lawyers. Harun also had refused to attend his trial last year. The judge rejected Harun's claim that he was more a soldier than a terrorist, saying Harun wanted to kill "dozens or maybe hundreds of Americans" and those from other nationalities, as well. Just him trying to claim that he's a soldier himself is absurd. He is simply a terrorist.
Military Tech: School shootings: How Army technology could help save the lives of teachers and students
Teachers will soon be able to train and prepare to give their students the best chance of survival. Quick action by teachers, and the right action, could potentially save innumerable lives.Dubbed EDGE (Enhanced Dynamic Geo-Social Environment), the technology was built on Epic Games' Unreal engine and provides a virtual training space. It has been adapted for school staff and first responders to prepare for a shooter. I'm glad the military is actually tying to solve the problem, unlike democrats claiming that guns are the problem.
Crime: Naked man on ATV leads Missouri police on wild, hour-long chase
A naked man was arrested after leading police on a shocking chase down a Missouri interstate on Sunday on an all-terrain vehicle that included driving the wrong way down the highway. The Clay County Sheriff's Office said the bare bandit led authorities on a pursuit along Highways 152 and 210 and Interstate 435 before he was finally caught. The chase lasted over an hour. Police believe the man, who has not yet been identified, was under the influence of drugs during the chase in northern Kansas City. I think this is hilarious.
LAMBORGHINI: $400,000 Lamborghini Aventador crashes into city bus
A $400,000 Lamborghini brought traffic to a standstill in Nottingham, U.K., on Sunday night — but not for the right reasons. Police report that the bright green Aventador slammed into the side of a bus near the main train station in the city center, forcing a closure of the street and causing delays on several transit lines as they worked to clean up the wreck. Police have not yet revealed the identity of the car’s driver or the cause of the accident, but said that no one was seriously injured. I would cry if this happened, paying 400,000 for a car and it being wrecked.
Immigration: What is DACA and why is the Trump administration ending it?
It’s down to the wire for President Trump and lawmakers to come up with a plan for the hundreds of thousands of young, undocumented immigrants living in the United States. In September 2017, the Trump administration officially announced its plan to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) – which provides a level of amnesty to certain undocumented immigrants, many of whom came to the U.S. as children – with a six-month delay for recipients. I think that DACA shouldn't be a thing.
