[NYP] A paroled ex-con with more than 200 busts on his rap sheet and open criminal cases in four boroughs was free to allegedly lead cops on a wild stolen car chase that left two officers injured last week, The Post has learned.
Joshua Padilla, 29, managed to duck jail despite more than a half-dozen criminal cases hanging over his head — while on parole following a three-year stint in state prison on a grand larceny conviction, sources said.
"It’s like he’s Teflon," one law enforcement source said. "Arrest, jail, prison — none of it means anything to him. That’s what we’re up against."
But the career criminal — described by the source as "human carnage on wheels" — had his luck run out Tuesday, finally getting locked up following the driving rampage in which he allegedly tried to evade cops by jumping off a 15-foot overpass and stealing an idling van he eventually crashed into an NYPD cruiser.
"A vehicle w/ stolen plates entering NYC didn’t stop for highway patrol," the NYPD said in a Wednesday post titled "Wanted & riding dirty."
"So @NYPD33Pct cops & detectives assisted in tracking & catching a career criminal w/ 200+ prior arrests & 7 warrants after stealing a getaway car that didn’t get him very far."
[WIRE] Pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy responded to the shooting in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday after a racially motivated shooter killed three black people, asserting, "We have a mental health epidemic in this country."
Ramaswamy, who is running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, appeared on CNN’s "State of the Union" with host Dana Bash, who asked him his reaction to the shooting.
"This should not be happening in the United States of America, and it is wrong," Ramaswamy stated. "The reality is, we have a mental health epidemic in this country. There are reports that this particular individual, the perpetrator, was indeed evaluated for mental health deficiencies as well."
"And I think we need to have the courage in this country to bring back a practice of putting back psychiatrically ill people who pose a risk to their communities into psychiatric institutions, not just drugging them up, but faith-based approaches and other approaches that fill our longing for purpose and meaning in this country," he continued, adding, "We have to address that mental health epidemic, and we need leaders with the courage to do it."
When Bash noted that according to the local sheriff the shooter had three manifestos, and said specifically that he went to the store with the intent of killing black people, Ramaswamy responded, "I think that is heinous and deserves to be called out for what it is."
A Nevada Ranger told a reporter at the scene they received a 911 call saying that someone in the crowd was going to shoot the activists blocking the street.

...saying that someone in the crowd was going to shoot the activists blocking the street.
In that part of the rural world, not surprising at all.
And in the 'Nations', the cops don't take any chances as they're used to things going south in a hurray and will defuse the situation by any means necessary.

Disappointed the videos were so short. Was enjoying the show.

Wait until the climate morons discover they are facing a Tribal Court, whose interests in keeping the Burning Man profitable are significant. Hours long traffic jams in the desert on an isolated strip of highway do NOT give participants a good memory.

I live in Gerlach. (In fact, I'm posting from there right now.) So I can clear up a few things.
It's great watching the Burning Man azzholes basically remain silent while this happens.
We're ARE all a little busy up here right now, you know? However, yeah: The Org isn't going to say anything because it doesn't benefit them to say anything. They walk a delicate "frank and earnest" balance. By which I mean in San Francisco they're Frank, and in Nevada they're Earnest. That's the game they play because it's the game they have to play.
Burners themselves are certainly talking about it on social media. And not in a friendly way toward the protestors. The video of the reservation police going ballistic on them is being warmly received by Burners and locals alike.
I understood Burning Man was cancelled due to TS Hilary flooding the site?
It was pretty wet out here last week, and The Playa turned into a mud pit for a couple of days. Then it completely dried out and is fine. That's what Nevada is like.
And in the 'Nations', the cops don't take any chances as they're used to things going south in a hurray and will defuse the situation by any means necessary.
Well said. The activists chose of their own free will to "f__k around and find out" on The Res. Any Black Rock Desert local can tell you that's a very, very bad idea. If they had any respect for the Paiute, then they would have read the news before coming out here and found out that a Paiute Lake Reservation cop was killed on the job just last week. To avoid this, all they would have had to do is go a little further up the road past the reservation boundary sign and it would have been left to the Washoe County Sheriffs Department. Who are not as a general rule as, uh, "decisive" about things.
As it was, they chose to block the main road through The Res, choking it and potentially preventing emergency services from reaching either the 1100 people that live there (including a lot of old people and children) or the Burners stuck in traffic on a hot, dry day on an eighty mile stretch with no shade, no towns, and no services. So you get what you get.
My favorite part of the video was the guy shouting "This is a democracy!" Actually, where you're standing right now it really isn't. It's an independent polity ruled by a tribal council of elders whose community you are currently screwing around with. They don't have time or patience for you.

I've spent a fair amount of time on and around several reservations in Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. It is definitely an intelligent choice on a visitor's part to behave respectfully while on the reservation.
It's especially a good idea to behave respectfully when something like the death of a reservation police officer has recently occurred.

[Daily Caller] Joe Wurzelbacher, otherwise known as ’Joe The Plumber’ passed away at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer, a source confirmed to the Daily Caller.
Wurzelbacher, who became well known during the 2008 presidential campaign after confronting former President Barack Obama about whether or not his tax plan would end up costing him more, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2023.
Conservative radio host Derek Hunter shared the news of Wurzelbacher’s passing in a post on Twitter on Sunday afternoon.
"Horrible news. My good friend Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, passed away this morning at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer," Hunter wrote. "He was a good man and an exceptional friend. Please consider helping his widow and young children here."

[Reuters] Louisiana oil refinery fire continues to smolder, production curbed
A storage tank fire at a Marathon Petroleum (MPC.N) oil refinery that had triggered a temporary evacuation of area residents a day ago continued to smolder on Saturday, a spokesperson said.
Two giant tanks of volatility naphtha caught fire early Friday at the Garyville, Louisiana, plant and sent plumes of black smoke over the area. Some fuel processing operations remained shut as firefighters contended with flare ups and smoke, Marathon said.
Two responders suffered minor injuries and 10 firefighters reported heat stress. The plant said it pulled firefighters from out-of-state plants, local St. John the Baptist responders and received equipment and supplies from 12 other groups.
The 596,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) oil processing plant is the third largest in the U.S. It is located about 38 miles (67 km) west of New Orleans and produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, asphalt, and plastics.
The company said it was evaluating a return to operation of affected units but did not say when that might occur. Investigators will start probing the cause of the blaze once conditions allow.
Air monitoring is being conducted by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and an unnamed third party. A help line for affected residents has been set up, Marathon said. Local officials temporarily evacuated residents from a two-mile radius around the plant.

[Miami Herald] Giving off major "Jurassic Park" vibes, a creature captured in Mississippi broke the record for the longest alligator ever captured in the state. While its length — 14 feet, 3 inches — is astonishing, so too is its mass. The alligator captured on the second day of Mississippi’s hunting season weighed 802.5 pounds with a belly girth of 66 inches, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.
The previous record came in 2017 when a group bagged an alligator that was 14 feet, 0.75 inches and weighed 766.5 pounds, according to Super Talk Mississippi News. The department said the record alligator was harvested Saturday, Aug. 26, by the foursome of Tanner White, Don Woods, Will Thomas and Joey Clark. Red Antler Processing said the hunters found the monster in the Yazoo River.
[GEO.TV] President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zim-bob-we emerged triumphant, securing his reelection following a tumultuous presidential race marked by delays and controversies.
The Zim-bob-we Electoral Commission formally declared Mnangagwa as the victor, having garnered 2,350,711 votes, translating to 52.6% of the total vote count.
His closest contender, Nelson Chamisa from the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party, amassed 1,906,734 votes, constituting 44% of the overall tally.
This electoral triumph extends the ruling party Zanu-PF's unbroken grip on Zim-bob-wean politics, a dominance it has held since the country's liberation from British rule in 1980.
However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the 45-year-old Chamisa, who had expressed confidence in his prospects, openly contested the results released by the electoral commission, indicating a potential legal challenge in the horizon.
Chamisa's CCC party raised concerns about the delayed distribution of voting materials, leading to widespread voting disruptions, alongside allegations of irregularities during the voting process. The party alleged that some of its candidates were omitted from ballot papers, which were found to feature the ruling party's candidates' images on CCC's listings.
While the election was lauded for maintaining a peaceful atmosphere, international observers, including the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... Election Observation Mission (EU EOM), highlighted curtailed fundamental rights and instances of violence and intimidation that cast a shadow over the electoral process.
Moreover, roughly 40 election monitors were apprehended by Zim-bob-wean authorities for suspected coordination of result disclosure before the official count was completed. Amnesia Amnesty International, a human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... organization, linked these arrests to a report by the Zim-bob-we NGO Forum, which detailed observed irregularities on election day.

[IsraelTimes] Five seriously maimed and flown to hospital in Darwin while others treated at triage site at scene; several Osprey aircraft have been involved in accidents in recent years
Three US marines died Sunday after an Osprey aircraft crashed on a remote tropical island north of Australia during war games, US military officials said.
Five marines had been rescued from the crash site and flown to a hospital in Darwin in "serious condition," the US officials said, while Australian police said they were triaging the rest of the injured crew at the scene.
"There were a total of 23 personnel on board," US military officials said in a statement. "Three have been confirmed deceased while five others were transported to Royal Darwin Hospital in a serious condition."
Rescue efforts were complicated by the location of the crash — the remote and sparsely populated Melville Island about 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of the Australian mainland.
"Recovery efforts are ongoing," US officials said, adding that an investigation into the cause of the incident had been launched.
The Osprey — a mix between a helicopter and a plane — was taking part in the Predators Run exercises, a joint series of warfighting drills involving thousands of soldiers from the US and Australia, as well as other militaries such as Indonesia and the Philippines.
Northern Australia has become an increasingly important staging ground for the US military in recent years, as Washington and Canberra work together to counter China’s growing clout in the Asia-Pacific region.
TROUBLED AIRCRAFT
The Osprey aircraft has a troubled history, blighted by a string of fatal crashes over the years. Four US marines were killed in Norway last year when their V-22B Osprey aircraft went down during NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... training exercises. Three marines were killed in 2017 when an Osprey crashed after clipping the back of a transport ship while trying to land at sea off Australia’s north coast. And 19 marines died in 2000 when their Osprey crashed during drills in Arizona.
The US Army earlier this year temporarily grounded all pilots who were not involved in critical missions, forcing them to complete further training after a series of safety incidents.
Ospreys are rapidly quick tilt-rotor aircraft that combine the features of both helicopters and turboprop planes, according to the US Air Force. The hybrid aircraft has two swiveling engines positioned on fixed wingtips that allow it to land and take off vertically, but also travel much faster than a conventional helicopter.
Sunday’s incident follows a fatal training crash last month, in which four Australians died when their Taipan helicopter plunged into the sea during a series of multinational war games in Queensland. The Taipan had been taking part in the large-scale Talisman Sabre exercise, which brought together 30,000 military personnel from Australia, the United States, and several other nations. It crashed near the Whitsunday Islands while taking part in a nighttime operation.
[RT] The popular US anchor has "strongly" requested a meeting with the Russian leader, Margarita Simonyan said.
Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson has been seeking an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said on Sunday.
"[Carlson] is strongly requesting an interview with Vladimir Putin," Simonyan said on a talk show aired by the Rossiya-1 TV channel. "It would be great, if someone listens and notifies the president about this."
Carlson has not commented on the matter. Putin rarely gives one-on-one interviews to foreign media. His last lengthy conversation with a Western journalist was with CNBC anchor Hadley Gamble on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week forum in Moscow in October 2021.
’Tucker Carlson Tonight’, which aired on Fox from 2016 to 2023, was the highest-rated show on US cable news. Carlson was abruptly fired from the channel in April. According to the journalist, the termination was a condition of the settlement that Fox News reached with the Dominion Voting Systems, which sued the channel for defamation over its coverage of the US 2020 presidential election.
[IsraelTimes] Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... ’s presidential campaign says it has raised $7.1 million since the Republican billionaire’s mugshot was released after he was booked on racketeering and conspiracy charges at a Georgia jail this week.
T-shirts, mugs, stickers and beverage coolers bearing the mug shot — arguably now the most famous in US history — were put out by Trump’s team within hours of the photo’s release.
"Close to $20m raised in the last 3 weeks, coinciding with the DC indictment and Atlanta mugshot," campaign front man Steven Cheung confirmed to AFP on Sunday.
"$7.1m since Thursday (Atlanta mugshot). $4.18m yesterday alone, the highest grossing day of the entire campaign," he continued.
"Organic money has skyrocketed, especially after President Trump tweeted out the picture along with the website."
[ET via Zero] Genetic diseases aren’t responsible for epidemics," Dr. Arthur Krigsman, a specialist who treats children with ASD around the world, told The Epoch Times. "There’s something in the environment that’s triggering a gene that otherwise would be silent. There is no gene responsible for an epidemic."
Excerpt: Biomedicine The more obvious biomedical basis for the absence of autism in the Amish community is the fact that throughout many centuries they have rigorously followed organic farming and have been consuming only organic produce grown mostly on their own farms, by themselves. Their food is therefore pesticide free and is consistently sustained as such over many generations. And the Amish continue to maintain the same till today. This practice reveals what may be interpreted as their belief and understanding of biomedicine as "food being medicine". This mindset and conditioning is again in alignment with their reverence for the land, respect for the values that they uphold, one such value being living in harmony with the forces of nature and viewing their food as being divine and pure. As the rest of the world is dealing with the rise in the debilitating symptoms in autism at least partially precipitated by genetically modified and pesticide-laden food, the Amish have been protected from the same.

Which is not to say there's no genetic component. But then, things get "complicated," which does not promote the narrative that grocery store shelves need to be empty.
