[Regnum] Missouri resident Mariah Thomas, who burned her one-month-old daughter in an oven, was sentenced to 11 years in prison. The New York Post reported this.
28-year-old Thomas admitted responsibility for the child's death but claimed it was an accident. She claimed she had been trying to put her daughter to bed and mistook the oven for the crib.
The tragedy occurred in Kansas City in February 2024. Police arrived at the woman's home after receiving a call about an incident involving a child. The infant was found with horrific burns and blackened skin. Mariah was charged with endangering the welfare of her daughter, resulting in serious consequences, rather than murder.
In August, 36-year-old American Madeline Veronique Daly pleaded guilty to the murder of her 11-month-old son. In the fall of 2025, she lost a custody battle over the boy, after which she stole him from his father and took him to another state. When police tracked her down and began surrounding her trailer, she shot her son in the face. During interrogation, she claimed she wanted to protect the boy from his father's abuse, but investigators found no evidence to support her claim. Daly faces life in prison.

Maybe she should not have bought the Ouija board when she went on that concentration camp tour in Germany from the blind 1 eyed street vendor that sold items out of the back of a cart pulled by a 3 legged mule with no ears?

[ColonelCassad] The United States plans to restore a military base and establish a new facility in Greenland. The United States intends to restore the former Blue West One airbase in Narsarsuaq (southern Greenland, Denmark) and establish a new military facility in Mestersvig (on the east coast).
An agreement to expand Washington's military presence in the Arctic is scheduled to be signed on September 22 between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Narsarsuaq Air Base was used by the United States during World War II and the early years of the Cold War. American military engineers have already conducted a technical survey of the facility, including the runway and infrastructure, to assess its suitability for use by the armed forces of the United States, Denmark, and NATO allies.
Mestersvig is a remote military outpost currently used by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol unit of the Danish Special Operations Forces to patrol the northern and eastern regions of the island. The decision to expand the US presence is linked to Greenland's strategic importance. The island is located between North America, Europe, and the Arctic, and is the shortest route between Russia and North America, making the region crucial for missile warning systems, airspace control, and space monitoring. The key US facility on the island remains the Pituffik Space Base, which provides missile warning and space monitoring.
The agreement was signed yesterday in New York, where Denmark officially recognized the US military protectorate over Greenland. The US has already announced large-scale development of the two aforementioned bases and the transfer of additional troops and resources to Greenland. In the future, these bases, if necessary, could facilitate the rapid transition from a military protectorate to a political one. This situation also concerns us, as US efforts are aimed at intensifying the militarization of the Arctic, including in the context of territorial disputes over continental shelves.
