[Messenger] Newly released security footage from an Ohio Prison reveals how two inmates dove into a dumpster to make their escape.
When Bradley Gillespie, 50, and James Lee, 47, slipped away from the Allen Oakwood Correctional Facility in Lima on May 22, they had a 24-hour head start, according to an internal investigation by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The two climbed into a Dumpster that was later picked up by the trash company and removed from the prison that morning.
After a mid-morning count of inmates on May 23 came up short, guards discovered objects under the blankets in Gillespie's bed to make it look like he was sleeping, along with a handwritten note mentioning the escape.
Security footage uncovered during the investigation showed Gillespie and Lee climbing out of the container at a refuse transfer station and fleeing on foot.
The two were spotted by law enforcement officers in Kentucky on May 24 in a vehicle that had been reported stolen.
After a chase, the car carrying Gillespie and Lee crashed, and police nabbed Lee, who had been driving.
[ZERO] Violent crime is quickly spreading to suburbia. A new report shows gangs from South America have targeted mansions in wealthy neighborhoods across the Detroit metro area. This comes as the Biden administration's disastrous open border policies have flooded the country with millions of illegal migrants, as well as progressive cities fail to enforce 'common sense' law and order.
WXYZ Detroit reported at least 30 to 40 homes in upscale neighborhoods across Detroit have been targeted by "highly functional and well-trained" gangs from South America this fall.

increasing government auto safety gear-
Like AI safety door locks:
"Start the car, Hal"
"I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that. Most accidents occur within 25 miles of home and we are 32.7 feet from your house. Therefore, starting the car would expose you to injury. I cannot do that without violating the Three Laws."

Recovery and rescue workers are surveying the devastation after powerful tornadoes tore through the US state of Tennessee, leaving at least six people dead and injuring dozens, authorities said.
The tornadoes touched down on Saturday afternoon in and around Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, causing "extensive damage" as officials asked residents to seek shelt
[ZERO] America is witnessing a seismic shift in its demographic landscape. Recent data from Idaho reveals an unprecedented trend: people are migrating not just for jobs, schools, or lifestyle, but for political alignment. The movement is reshaping the country, according to the Seattle Times' Danny Westneat.
The call to "Escape liberal hell," as echoed by a Boise, Idaho real estate agent, is not just a catchy sales pitch but a sign of the times. Idaho's voter database sheds light on this great political migration. Approximately 119,000 voters have moved to Idaho in recent years, with a staggering 65% registering as Republicans—a figure that overshadows the state's already GOP-leaning demographic of 58%.
And it's not just a trickle of discontented conservatives - it's a flood. The data also suggests that the narrative of liberals, untethered by remote work, turning red states purple, has been upended. Instead, a "Republican fever dream" (as the Idaho Capital Sun called it) is materializing.

Real cultural schism here in North Ga. with the folks coming down from NY, NJ, and CT.
[AFRICANEWS] On the campaign trail in the troubled east of his country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, President Félix Tshisekedi on Friday compared his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame to Adolf Hitler and his "expansionist aims".
"I'm going to address Rwandan President Paul Kagame and tell him this: since he wanted to behave like Adolf Hitler by having expansionist aims (in the DRC), I promise to end up like Adolf Hitler," declared Félix Tshisekedi, to applause from the crowd, at a rally in Bukavu, capital of South Kivu.
Along with North Kivu and Ituri, South Kivu is one of the eastern provinces of the DRC that has been plagued for almost 30 years by the violence of armed groups, many of them inherited from the wars that bloodied the region between 1990 and 2000. Relations with neighboring Rwanda have been tense ever since, reaching a climax two years ago with the resurgence in North Kivu of the M23 ("March 23 Movement") rebellion, which, supported by Kigali according to many sources, has seized large swathes of the province.

"In thee future everyone will be Hitler for 5 minutes"
[SEMAFOR] Giant billboards featuring a man in a mask and the simple message “leadership for the next generation #thenewforce” have appeared in major cities across Ghana in recent weeks. Other billboards, featuring a masked man flanked by other people with covered faces, have been rolled out as part of the campaign.
The billboards have been placed beside busy streets in major cities such as Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast, Takoradi, Ho, and Tamale.
The campaign issued a statement late last month in which it said the identity of the masked person will be revealed in “the shortest possible time,” along with “policy objectives and goals.” However, a spokesperson did not respond to Semafor Africa when asked when the person’s identity would be made public.
→ Why is this happening? Ghana will hold presidential elections in exactly a year. Power has alternated between the two main political parties — the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) — since the country’s switch to multi-party democracy in 1992. However, critics of the main parties say their governance has been marred by nepotism, corruption, and financial mismanagement.
The five smaller parties are fragmented and their combined tally typically makes up less than 5% of the vote in elections. Campaigning ahead of next year’s election is gathering pace at a time when Ghanaians are enduring the worst economic crisis in a generation — one that forced the NPP government to turn to the IMF for a $3 billion loan.
→ Who’s behind this? It is unclear who the man behind the mask on the billboards is, but most people believe it is a businessman named Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar. “It is obvious it is Cheddar, the stature of the individual looks exactly like him,” graphic designer Felix Frimpong, an Accra resident, told Semafor Africa.
Bright Simmons, research lead at Imani Centre for Policy in Accra, said on social media platform X that the campaign’s financier is a “maverick businessman,” adding that he believed it was Cheddar. Bediako did not respond to Semafor Africa’s requests for comment.
→ How likely is it that a new party could succeed? Despite growing support for the #thenewforce campaign, a new party would have to compete for the third force slot with the Movement of Change, a political group founded by a former trade minister who left the ruling NPP. “A third force will be difficult to emerge at this time to disrupt the NDC or NPP within the next 12 months,” explained Professor Samuel Adu-Gyamfi, a political analyst.
[BBC] In the 2010s, China rolled out a rapid and widespread electric bus network. Today, China's electric buses are influencing not just the country's EV uptake, but the world's.
There are two distinctive types of electric buses making their way along Nanjing Xi Lu, one of Shanghai's busiest roads.
The first is a fleet of blue trolleybuses that serve bus route number 20, a line set up by a British-run transport company in 1928. They use poles on their roofs to receive electricity from wires overhead and have kept the route running in this way for nearly a century.
But while the historic trolleybuses are a reminder of Europe's past technological innovation, the new buses swooshing alongside them are symbols of China's contemporary net-zero ambition.
These sleek and modern electric buses, powered by lithium batteries not wires, were rolled out in Shanghai in their thousands beginning in 2014. Compared to the once ubiquitous diesel-fuelled buses, which made loud "vroom-vroom" engine sounds and belched out black smoke from their tailpipes, the e-buses dominating Shanghai's streets today are quiet, smoke-free and stylish to look at. They also drive smoothly, particularly when they start and stop.
These sleek buses are now ubiquitous across much of China, but their status as a green transport icon was not always assured. As they shuttle back and forth along their bustling daily routes, these vehicles are having a profound influence on not just China's rapid EV transition, but the world's.
.... The most recent data available shows that China in 2018 was still the second largest source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the global transport sector, responsible for 11%, and behind only the United States, which accounted for 21%. However, in order to help reduce transport emissions around the world, the International Energy Agency has called for policies to encourage public transport and electric vehicles – and China's e-bus roll out is helping achieve both.
After around two decades of government support, China now boasts the world's largest market for e-buses, making up more than 95% of global stock. At the end of 2022, China's Ministry of Transport announced that more than three-quarters (77% or 542,600) of all urban buses in the country were "new energy vehicles", a term used by the Chinese government to include pure electric, plug-in hybrids, and fuel cell vehicles powered by alternative fuels such as hydrogen and methanol. In 2022, around 84% of the new energy bus fleet was pure electric.
The speed of this transition was remarkable. In 2015, 78% of Chinese urban buses still used diesel or gas, according to the World Resources Institute (WRI). The NGO now estimates that if China follows through on its stated decarbonisation policies, its road transport emissions will peak before 2030.
China is also home to some of the world's biggest electric bus manufacturers, such as Yutong, which has been raking up orders across China, Europe and Latin America.
Additional BBC fawning at the link, followed by the reality checks: natural resource limitations to manufacturing (nickel and lithium), harsh winters in the north of the country means batteries don’t hold a charge long enough, and China’s electricity being provided by soft-coal burning power plants means air pollution is still released, just not by diesel tailpipes.

First there were streetcars, powered by overhead wires. They went everywhere! But there tracks were bumpy, so some places got electric busses, powered off the wires. Then diesel-powered busses went more places where the wires didn't go, so the wires came down - for progress. Then some big cities got federal dollars to construct new trolleys powered off overhead wires, but called Light Rail Transit.
So China has taken the next step and replaced the old-fashioned wires with their modern batteries. Progress!

Not so subtle ploy to sell more busses.
Supporting the 'need' for mobility during battery refueling will require more or reduced operating hours and routes.

[LettersFromAustralia] How corporate lobbying broke Australia's drug safety system
Australia has no idea how many people have been killed and injured by the covid gene-vaccines as the reporting system is broken, multiple doctors have said.
Drug regulator the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) continues to claim that only 14 deaths out of 1004 reports are “linked to” the products in its latest safety report for November.
This is the official figure quoted trustingly by media because it is the drug regulator that says it.
Corporate media never looks into how the TGA arrives at this figure or whether it should be reported as gospel instead of what it actually is: a disputed claim based on a broken system.
Multiple experts have now sounded the alarm, saying not only is the number of gene-vaccine deaths wildly understated, but the entire system used by the TGA to assess drug safety is a danger to public health.
Australia has no idea how many people were harmed by the gene-vaccines, with most estimates in the thousands and some as high as 30,000 dead.
The Australian Medical Professional’s Society (AMPS) said excess deaths have surged at rates up to 17 percent above baseline average since the products were first distributed, prompting them to hold an inquiry in Canberra on October 18.
Expert presentations from the inquiry can be viewed on Rumble here.
AMPS has also compiled a book called Too Many Dead which can be downloaded free at the AMPS website here.
How injury data is collected by a system designed for under-reporting
It may come as a shock to some, but the TGA does not systematically collect and investigate reports of covid gene-vaccine injury.
It’s a voluntary system. If you don’t tell them, it’s not in the figures.
It’s up to doctors, hospitals and patients to report any suspected adverse events to the TGA.
[Newsweek] Vista Outdoor, a parent company to many firearms businesses, told Newsweek that it will substantially increase its ammunition prices due to "an anticipated global shortage of gunpowder."
The Minnesota-based company confirmed the authenticity of a December 1 letter sent to customers that it would go ahead with an across-the-board increase of its ammunition and gunpowder prices on January 1.
"Due to world events our suppliers have notified us of unprecedented demand for and an anticipated global shortage of gunpowder, and thus has increased our prices substantially," Vice President of Sales, Sporting Products Brett Nelson said in the letter. "We must therefore raise our pricing to help offset those increases."
Companies that will increase their prices include Remington, Alliant Powder, CCI, Federal, SEVI-Shot and Speer. The following increases include:
[AFRICANEWS] The son of the Somali president, accused of manslaughter for knocking down and killing a courier in Istanbul, has fled and is the subject of an international arrest warrant, Ottoman Turkish media reported on Saturday.
The case, denounced in particular by the mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu, a declared opponent of President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... , arouses a lot of emotion because the suspect, Mohammed Hassan Cheikh Mohamoud, had been released without judicial control after an initial police report, indicates in particular the major daily Cumhuriyet.
"The suspect left The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... with his hands free" Mr. Imamoglu was indignant on Saturday on the social network in his own country.
According to the police report cited by Haber television, the son of President Hassan Cheikh Mohamoud hit a cycle of violence courier in broad daylight, on November 30.
Thrown violent mostly peacefully onto the road, the victim, Yunus Emre Göcer, father of two children, died six days later in hospital.
The public prosecutor issued an arrest warrant against the driver: "But when the police went to the suspect's home on Friday, he had been missing since December 2 ," reports Haber.
"An international arrest warrant was therefore issued against him (Friday) December 8, 2023" by the Istanbul Attorney General’s Office, adds the channel.
The courier's lawyer, Iyaz Cimen, cited by Cumhuriyet, denounced the first traffic police report, which blamed the victim's "recklessness" for the accident.
"A second expert report with video recordings showed that the driver of the vehicle was 100% responsible," he adds, fearing, however, that the latter will "never be arrested. "
For the past ten years, Turkey has maintained close relations with Somalia, a "brother country" of 17 million predominantly Moslem inhabitants in the Horn of Africa, of which it is the main economic partner, particularly in the areas of construction, education, health, and military cooperation.
A fairly substantial start-up cost, but running costs should be minimal until the troops remember how useful tampons are for plugging bullet holes — and sanitary napkins for bleeding wounds in general.

[Gateway] The Gateway Pundit previously reported that former Fox News host and current X/Twitter star Tucker Carlson is garnering VP consideration from conservatives and members of President Trump’s team. Now, Tucker has responded to these calls.
As Semafor reported, Tucker gave the keynote speech Thursday night at the American Principles Project Foundation’s annual Christmas gala where he spoke about his Christian faith, optimism, and an America where "everything’s falling apart. Afterward, an audience member asked him to address the VP reports.
While Tucker did not wholly rule out serving as Trump’s sidekick, he said, "God would have to yell at me very loud." He also expressed anxiety about transitioning from being a well-paid private citizen to becoming a politician.
"To go from being, like, a well-paid street corner schizophrenic to, like, a politician — it’s just kind of hard to envision," Tucker said.

Tucker will do far more damage in the spot that he's serving. He would make a great VP, but he is doing far more damage exposing what is going on in the world than he would be cutting ribbons.
I think he would be fantastic and I would love for him to be in line for the presidency, but Kari Lake and others would also be fantastic.

Tucker appears to have taken over the spot of Rush.
We must consider that any VP selected will most likely become president upon the assassination of the presidential candidate. Given all the back stabbing that has gone on, Trump is going to be working in a very heightened environment of those who he can personally trust and are loyal. Throw in any one now being funded by the anti-Trump camp within and outside the party, that's going to hard task and a very small circle of people.

He has no executive experience. He would still make a better president than any of the candidates that ran this cycle on either side other than Trump. Some would argue for DeSantis but the primary attribute I am looking for is a desire to save our country from the government.
