[AFRICANEWS] The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the 20-year prison sentence for singer R. Kelly on child sex convictions in Chicago.
The decision, announced on Friday, affirmed the verdict reached by jurors in 2022, who found the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer guilty on three charges of producing child sexual abuse images and three charges of enticing minors for sex.
Kelly's legal team expressed disappointment with the ruling and announced their intention to petition the U.S. Supreme Court for a review of the decision.
This latest development follows a series of legal battles for Kelly, who is currently serving a 30-year sentence in New York for federal racketeering and sex trafficking convictions. It is noted that Kelly has also filed a separate appeal against this sentence.
[GEO.TV] Nazca alien mummies are found to be real as DNA evidence proves that they co-existed with human beings, as per a claim by an investigator. Right. He said it, so we should believe it. Silly me, I had expected that actual space aliens would have an analog of DNA, but not DNA due to separate evolutionary paths. Jois Mantilla, who operated closely with the mummies in order to identify their origins, confirms that he has made a progressive DNA discovery that could "change the course of history" and which is more important than the moon landing, according to The Sun. The Sun being a reputable news source, of course. I'm surprised those genuine space aliens from the Magellanic Cloud are bilaterally symmetrical, though I suppose trilaterally or quadrilaterally would be harder to achieve.
Known as Nazca mummies, several mysterious extraterrestrial-looking creatures, have been discovered across Peru in a set of thrilling findings. Having separate evolutionary paths, I was surprised to see they had heads up top, ears in the same place as humans, ribs, shoulders, hips and legs in the same conformation.
Peruvian journalist Jois Mantilla who has been leading an investigation into the mummies, also confirms that they are thousands of years old and once walked among humans. Bone and muscle in the same arrangement?
With some even saying they were aliens, the mummies were unearthed by astonished discoverers and caused mass doubts over where they originated from. "Hey! Where'd that come from?"
"Andromeda galaxy, obviously. Count the ribs!"
"Space aliens got ribs?"
When Jois and fellow journalist Jaime Maussan presented two mummies discovered in Palpa and Nazca, Peru in 2016 to the Mexican Government, they made headlines last year. "FLASH! Somebody gave space alien mummies to Mexico!"
As a presentation of their newest mummy — called Monserrat — descended into chaos, their investigation has caught the attention of the public once again. "Yeah. It's them again!" However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... the project has been slammed by the critics including the Peruvian Government, saying the bodies are nothing more than dolls made by artists.

Perhaps the Creator is simply fond of featherless bipeds. Judging from the fact that here on Earth we have some 350,000 species of beetles, it seems like the Big Guy has his whims.
[RedState] A Texas mother who shot a 14-year-old boy will face no charges after a grand jury decided not to indict her. The decision closes the door on a tragic case in which a mother was forced to use her firearm to defend her children.
The incident occurred in December when Aleah Wallace discovered that the boy was trying to break into her home through a window.
The incident has traumatized the mother and her children. She said the family goes to counseling “once a week” and offered condolences to the family of Devin Baker, the boy who tried to enter her home.
Wallace had been facing eviction because of the incident. The landlord wanted to eject her from the residence because she kept a firearm on the premises. However, the eviction action stopped when an attorney took her case pro bono.
The boy’s mother indicated that he had snuck out of the home in the middle of the night just before the shooting.
Aleah Wallace, 25, said she was cleaning her living room when she heard someone, identified as 14-year-old Devin Baker, attempting to break into her rental home around 3 a.m. on Dec. 14, according to Fox 4.
“I went, and I stood in the hallway. And I could see him standing at the window, lifting it up. I just shot,” Wallace told the outlet.
It was the second time Wallace’s house was targeted by burglars in less than 24 hours.
The teen allegedly tried to sneak through Wallace’s 8-year-old daughter’s window, according to the outlet.
Baker, who also lived with his family at the apartment complex, died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.
Wallace had recently purchased the firearm after four attempts to burglarize her home. She told reporters that “It’s just me and my four daughters” in the home and that she was “just protecting my daughters.”
The mother also explained that she did not know the boy was 14 years old when he was trying to come through the window and that all she knew “was that somebody could come in and hurt me or my kids.”
It’s a tragic situation, to be sure. The fact that a 14-year-old boy would resort to breaking into someone’s home in the first place is disturbing. But Wallace simply had no choice; many others would make the same decision if they found themselves in a similar position.
[BBC] Rallies have taken place across Australia in response to a wave of recent violence against women.
Demonstrators want gender-based violence to be declared a national emergency and stricter laws put in place to stop it.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the issue was a national crisis.
In Australia, a woman has been killed on average every four days so far this year.
Organiser Martina Ferrara said: "We want alternative reporting options for victim survivors to let them own their stories and own their healing and reporting journey.
"And we want the government to acknowledge this is an emergency action and take immediate action."
Speaking at a march in the capital Canberra attended by thousands of protesters, Mr Albanese admitted the government at all levels needed to do better.
"We need to change culture, the attitudes, the legal system and the approach by all governments," he said.
"We need to make sure that this isn't up to women, it's up to men to change men's behaviour as well," he added.

[Regnum] US authorities established control over the American bank Republic First, closed it and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as its successor. This incident turned out to be the first collapse of a credit institution in the country in 2024, according to a statement issued by the corporation on April 26.
“Republic Bank has been closed by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, which has designated the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as its successor,” the FDIC said.
It is clarified that in order to protect depositors, the corporation has already reached an agreement with another credit institution, Fulton Bank, to accept most of the deposits and acquire the assets of the collapsed bank.
Difficulties in the US banking sector worsened in March 2023. The problems began after California state regulators closed Silicon Valley Bank, which was one of the 20 largest commercial American banks, experts noted.
As Regnum reported, the USA, Japan and European countries will suffer a “terrifying” recession, which will be accompanied by the collapse of the banking system, investor Jim Rogers said in May 2023.
The investor pointed out that states are trying to combat the collapse of banks through their merger with larger organizations.
On March 10, 2023, the 16th largest US bank, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), went bankrupt. The head of the Federal Reserve System (FRS), Jerome Powell, blamed the organization's management for the incident. In his opinion, the SVB board failed to properly manage risks.
On March 21, former vice president of the Lehman Brothers financial corporation Lawrence MacDonald said that the threat of bankruptcy of at least 50 more banks looms over the United States if the American authorities do not get rid of structural problems in the economy. The main structural problem being a government, from top to bottom, operated by economic illiterates.

Maybe part of the O'Biden regime goals is the collapse of the banking system and to establish a Fed Electronic currency, for Gov. trackable spending.

This to remind all that by March 1933 the US banking system had collapsed. There was not a single bank open for business in the USA on FDR's 1st inauguration. Somehow we got through that.
[National Review] The agent who attacked a superior in the vice president’s security force has been identified as Michelle Herczeg, an Air Force veteran and former Dallas police officer who left the force in 2016 after accusing a superior of sexual malfeasance and subsequently saw her damages suit dropped in 2021. On Monday, she reportedly "snapped."
Herczeg showed up at the terminal and began acting erratically, grabbing another senior agent’s personal phone and deleting applications on it, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The other agent, a shift leader, was able to recover his phone and then acted as if nothing had happened.
But Herczeg’s bizarre behavior didn’t stop. She then began mumbling to herself, hid behind curtains, and started throwing items, including menstrual pads, at an agent, telling him that he would need them later to save another agent and telling her peers that they were "going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God," a source told RealClearPolitics.
Herczeg also screamed at the special agent in charge (SAIC), rattling off the names of female officers on the vice president’s detail and claiming they would show up and help her and allow her to continue working. At that point, other agents on the scene believed Herczeg was suffering from a mental lapse, and the superior officer, SAIC, approached her to tell her she was relieved from the assignment.
"That’s when she snapped entirely," one source recounted.

I had thought that this was some type of team dysfunction bubbling up. This sounds more like schizophrenia. Not sure how she got through screening with that lingering in the background. Not sure how most of the Biden crowd cleared screening as well.
