Abusive fiend who beat NYC girlfriend's 10-year-old son to death receives 25-to-life sentence
[NYPOST] A sadistic fiend who bludgeoned his girlfriend's helpless 10-year-old son to death in Harlem could spend his remaining years behind bars.

Ryan Cato, 38, was sentenced Friday to 25 years-to-life for killing Ayden Wolfe — who was subjected to unimaginable abuse while trapped inside his family's apartment during the pandemic's early days.

''Isolated from teachers and other responsible adults because of the pandemic, 10-year-old Ayden Wolfe was enduring horrific violence at the hands of his mother's boyfriend,'' said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg

Good samaritans stop kidnapping in progress of mother and two small children in Florida
[FoxNews] A mother as well as her two-year-old and six-month-old children were rescued by good samaritans outside the DMV in Jacksonville, Florida on March 12.
Arrested: Yanni Human, 26.
WFLA adds:
A newly released video shows more than a dozen bystanders stepping in to stop a man from driving off with a mother and her two children in Florida.

An arrest affidavit revealed that a man and woman were on their way to a Jacksonville DMV on March 12 when he had struck her in the face while driving. Once at the DMV, the man "became even more frustrated" because they were late to their appointment.

Virginia Giuffre, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, has died aged 41
Giuffre’s family issued a statement confirming she took her own life at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent victims of the disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein who also alleged she was sexually trafficked to Prince Andrew, has died. She was 41.

Her family on Saturday issued a statement confirming she took her own life at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking,” the statement read.

“In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

New 4.3 magnitude earthquake hits Istanbul
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A new earthquake has occurred in Istanbul. This was reported on April 25 on the website of the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC).

New tremors were recorded at around 20:33 Moscow time. It is noted that the magnitude of the earthquake was 4.3, and its source was located at a depth of 7 km.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on April 23, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 was recorded in Istanbul. It began at about 12:50 Moscow time and lasted 10-15 seconds, followed by aftershocks.

The tremors, felt in several provinces, caused panic in Istanbul. The source was located at a depth of almost 7 km underground. As a result of the powerful tremors, at least 236 people were injured, there were no casualties.

Earlier on April 25, Haluk Eyidogan, a professor of seismology and a member of the Istanbul Municipality Council of Earthquake Scientists, said that a new large-scale earthquake was expected in Istanbul. According to the expert, it could affect the entire Marmara region with a population of more than 25 million people.
Is Mother Nature more dramatic than usual?

-Land of the Free
Judge Strikes Down Illinois Law Requiring Pro-Life Doctors To Promote Abortion
[Federalist] didn’t know, I didn’t know," sobbed a mother, crying in anguish as she rocked back and forth, as only one who has carried the burden of regret for 20 years can.

A nurse at a prolife pregnancy center was conducting an ultrasound for that mother’s 18-year-old daughter, who was pregnant. The mother and her pregnant daughter told the nurse that they had already decided on an abortion, but came in for an ultrasound, just to know how far along she was.

Seeing the flickering black-and-white image, the pregnant daughter’s mother broke down. The small figure on the screen was nine weeks old — the same age as the child she had aborted 20 years earlier. Back then, she had believed it was just a clump of tissue. Now, witnessing for the first time what an unborn child at that gestational age looked like, she saw on that ultrasound a baby — her grandchild — and the weight of that realization crashed down on her.

The nurse paused the scan to console the daughter’s mother and tell her about the resources that her center offers for post-abortive parents. "The mother, at the end of that visit, she went up to her daughter and told her that she would help her, that they were going to keep the baby," the nurse, Pasha Bohlen of Pregnancy Aid South Suburbs, testified during trial in Schroeder v. Treto, Jr.

That moment reaffirmed Bohlen’s belief, one that is shared by hundreds of pro-life doctors and pregnancy resource centers across Illinois, that abortion offers no medical benefits — only harm. Yet, for the better part of the last decade, the state of Illinois has battled in court to force pro-life doctors and pregnancy centers, like Bohlen’s, to share so-called "benefits of abortion" with the pregnant mothers in her care.

-War on Police-
Feral woman's shocking act towards female cop who tried to stop catfight outside California school
Policing in California sounds like a special level of Hell.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Shocking footage captured the moment two coppers fought off several teen girls as they attempted to break up a wild catfight outside a school.

The melee unfolded around 3pm Thursday outside Entrepreneur High School in Highland, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, as a witness filmed the fight escalate to the point where one girl punched and pulled a female officer by the hair.

It reportedly began as officers with the San Bernardino school police attempted to break up a fight in the school parking lot, and the footage begins as several other girls join in the scrum.

As a female officer handcuffed one girl on the ground, a male officer shoved two teens away as he yelled: 'Back up, back up.'

One of the girls then screamed expletives in his face, and struck the officer in retaliation to him pushing her away from the fight.

When the girl then attempted to attack the female officer handcuffing another teen on the ground, the male officer swept her legs and took her to the ground as well to put her under arrest.

At that moment, another girl joined in the chaotic scene as she screamed at the female officer to 'get off of her', and pulled out her phone to film the confrontation.

It appeared the first girl who was arrested had been fighting the second, as when she was picked up in handcuffs she screamed in the other girl's face as she lay on the ground.

Remains of 5,000-year-old woman from the upper crust of the Caral civilization found in Peru
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The remains of a 5,000-year-old woman from the upper layer of the Caral civilization have been discovered on the coast of Peru. This was reported by the British agency Reuters.

"Archaeologists on the coast of Peru have discovered the 5,000-year-old remains of a woman who may have belonged to the upper echelons of the ancient Caral civilization," the report said.

According to the agency, the city of the same name, located approximately 180 km from the Peruvian capital of Lima, is considered the oldest in South America and was inhabited at the same time as the ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Sumerian civilizations.

Archaeologists told reporters that the body of the woman, who died between the ages of 20 and 35, was found in a robe of blue and brown feathers, believed to belong to Amazonian macaws. The tomb was surrounded by offering baskets, vases, pumpkins and a toucan's beak, the researchers said.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, archaeologists previously discovered a Dene (Athabascan) cache dating back about 1,000 years during summer excavations at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Alaska. The Eklutna elders, with whom the researchers consulted, said that there had once been a fishing camp at the site where the cache was found.

In November 2024, in Mexico, scientists from the local National Institute of Anthropology and History discovered an underground portal to the afterlife that was used by ancient Mesoamerican civilizations.
