[FoxNews] Karmelo Anthony will serve his sentence while it appears the fundraising campaign for his family organized by his mother, Kala Hayes, has been taken down.
Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years behind bars on Tuesday. He has since filed a notice of appeal to challenge the conviction.
The fundraiser was posted on GiveSendGo, an international crowdfunding platform, on April 15, 2025. It was less than two weeks after Anthony fatally stabbed 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.
All the while, the fundraiser for Anthony and his family, titled, "Help Karmelo Official Fund," initially had a goal of generating nearly $1.4 million, and raised just shy of $634,000.

He's going to have /FUN/ in prison. Apparently there's pictures of him flashing gang signs of a gang he doesn't belong to and they are wanting to 'edjumicate' him on how he's screwed up. Plus of course, the Aryan Brotherhood wants his scalp. Depending on how much money his 'parents' can funnel to him, he might live for a bit, til it runs out.
[JustTheNews] The Memphis Safe Streets Task Force has arrested more than 10,000 people and seized 1,178 illegal firearms since September, the U.S. Marshals Service said Wednesday.
The Task Force is a collaboration of local, state and national agencies, including the Tennessee National Guard. The 10,017 arrests include 92 for homicide and more than 1,000 drug arrests, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. In addition, 154 missing children were located.
“This is a significant milestone for the dedicated men and women working around the clock to end street and violent crime in Memphis,” said Tyreece Miller, U.S. marshal for the Western District of Tennessee, in a statement. “By removing these illicit firearms from Memphis streets and making 10,000 arrests, we have achieved unprecedented results, not just for the Task Force, but for all the residents and visitors to our beloved city."
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum of understanding on Sept. 15 that created the task force and included the deployment of the National Guard.
At least three lawsuits have targeted the task force since its inception. The most recent lawsuit concerns legislation that requires Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy to file reports with the General Assembly on dismissed or settled task force cases every 10 days. The case also challenges a law that allows the state to audit charges brought by Mulroy regarding the task force. The bills were passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Bill Lee.
[NYPost] A wave of Jeep thefts terrorizing San Diego County has led to arrests, a violent freeway chase and what authorities say may be the takedown of an organized auto theft ring.
Investigators with the Carlsbad Police Department said the theft spree has targeted newer-model Jeeps across the region, with at least 12 vehicles stolen since August 2025. Most of the thefts occurred under the cover of darkness during late-night hours.
The crime wave flared up again in early May when two more Jeeps were reported stolen in Carlsbad, prompting investigators to intensify efforts to track down those responsible.
[NYPOst] Over 50 kids and teenagers have been charged for a massive brawl that broke out during Hersheypark’s opening day, which forced families to shield their children and hide under tables.
Fifty-five people, including 53 minors, whose ages range between 12 and 19, had been involved in multiple fights across the iconic Pennsylvania theme park on April 3, the Derry Township Police Department announced Monday.
The mob was accused of both misdemeanor and felony offenses.
Officials said two different groups, “Group A and Group B,” were caught on security footage arguing in one section of the park before the clash turned physical, blowing up into a full-out brawl just after 6:51 p.m. — just over an hour before closing time.
Police were called to help security break up the “large fight” near the family-friendly Trailblazer coaster.
The dueling groups were separated before meeting up again at a food court, forcing families to hide under tables and flee the area, PennLive reported, citing court documents.
Witnesses told the police the brawl included 50 to 60 teenagers.
One of the fights had spilled over to near one of the roller coasters, where at least a dozen youngsters grappled and punched each other as a large crowd gathered around them filming the fracas next to the roller coaster tracks, according to video posted online.
The violent squabble forced park staff to shut down the coaster.
“These actions caused serious inconvenience to Hersheypark staff and patrons of the park. This caused an emergency stop to the Skyrush ride,” officers said in court records viewed by the outlet.
Some of the fighting teens had been kicked out by police at a side gate, but re-entered the park at the main gate and got into another fight around 7:30 p.m.
After an investigation, officials filed charges for the “disorderly and assaultive behavior by numerous youths” that included simple assault, conspiracy, theft, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct, aggravated assault, and riot, among other charges, police said.
Omar Ibraham, 19, Jerome Ross, III, 18, and Quaneek Williams, 18, all from Harrisburg, Pa., were publicly identified as the only three adults facing charges in the massive brawl, police said.
Williams has been charged with felony riot, assault and failing to disperse, among other charges, according to a probable cause affidavit viewed by PennLive.
Ibrahim and Ross were charged with theft after they allegedly took an admittance wristband from a minor and used it to enter the park.
The theft charge was for $90.80, the cost of a single-day admission pass to the park, the outlet reported.
The three men were charged through summonses and have not been arrested as of Tuesday night. Their first court appearances are set for July 7.
Hersheypark had officially opened for its 120th season hours earlier.
“Consistent with Hersheypark’s zero tolerance policy, those who do not abide by our policy will no longer be welcome on our property,” the park told CBS21.
The Post has reached out to Hersheypark.
.
Hersheypark does not appear to have a chaperone policy for minors visiting the park.
Other amusement parks, including multiple Six Flags locations, have enacted strict age restrictions in recent months in an attempt to battle rampant nuisance from younger customers.
“All guests ages 17 years old or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old to be admitted to or remain in the park. The policy will be in effect starting at 4:00pm each operating day,” according to the new policy on New Jersey’s Six Flags Great Adventure website.

NN2N1 - I agree in part to your ban, but I'd do one more: for each offense, a year of community service CLEANING UP THE PARK after hours or in the early morning.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Bill Gates admitted cheating on his ex-wife, Melinda, and claimed Jeffrey Epstein tried to weaponize the affairs against him
No doubt, not being anything like an angel in white…
during a bombshell congressional grilling on Wednesday.
The Microsoft founder, 70, denied any wrongdoing but claimed the pedophile wielded the 'painful' secrets in a bid to strong-arm him back into the friendship after he cut it off.
'I learned Epstein had become aware of sensitive information about my personal life, including the fact that I had been unfaithful in my marriage. These affairs had nothing to do with my interactions with Epstein, but they were painful for my family,' Gates said, according to his prepared statement to the House Oversight Committee.
Don’t have affairs, you’ll be less likely to hurt those you are supposed to care for.
Gates struck up a relationship with Epstein in 2011 after the financier promised he could help raise billions of dollars for global public health initiatives. Epstein was already a registered sex offender, having pleaded guilty in Florida three years earlier to soliciting prostitution from a minor.
But he threw great parties with interesting guests and lots of pretty, obliging young ladies, so how could Bill say no?
'I recall being aware that Epstein had faced prior legal issues, but I did not fully understand the extent of the crimes he committed. I accepted the introduction without applying the scrutiny I should have,' Gates told lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Google had long existed in 2011 — even end-users like me used it regularly. Surely Mr. Microsoft is not arguing that he was then too technologically illiterate to do an internet search on his host’s name — and that neither his security team nor his secretary bothered.
He claimed his interactions with the pedophile were 'limited' and testified that he cut off all contact in 2014.
Gates alleged Epstein deployed what he knew of the infidelities, 'in addition to many lies that he layered on top,' to try to drag him back into the fold.
'He was unsuccessful in this effort, but it shows some of the ways he tried to leverage his interactions with me to further his agenda. I should never have met with Epstein in the first place,' Gates said.
True. But that would have required being slightly less self-indulgent, you selfish, self-righteous pig.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Thursday morning's Pentagon lockdown and 'hazardous materials incident' were due to a false alarm, sources tell CNN.
Multiple floors and corridors of the sprawling complex were locked down and others were evacuated.
'Shelter in place continues in affected areas in the Pentagon until all clear is given,' the Pentagon Force Protection Agency said on X shortly before 12:30 pm Thursday.
Firefighters in full protective clothing, including gas masks, were seen rushing inside the building in Arlington, Virginia.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed that 'an air quality issue' had been detected, sparking 'precautionary measures until we determine its significance.'
'The Department is executing standard protection protocols, including a shelter-in-place order for the affected area,' Parnell said. 'Response teams are in place and ready to support building occupants.'
[FoxNews] Americans born after 1970 are dying faster than their parents did, data shows.
New analysis from Tufts University reveals that Gen Xers and millennials are failing to outlive their predecessors, dying at higher rates from common chronic illnesses and external causes than previous generations did when they were the same age.
Data shows that U.S. life expectancy has steadily improved for most of the 20th century, meaning each generation generally lived longer than the one before it.
However, that changed starting with individuals born in the 1950s. While Americans born in the 1940s experienced steadily improving survival rates at every stage of life, those born in the 1950s saw that progress slow or reverse.
The downward trend has continued with each subsequent generation, with the biggest change seen in Americans born after 1970.

In my day and age as kids:
We walked everywhere.
Only the privileged kids had a 1 speed bike.
We did not LIVE on the Internet or a Smartphone.
Our social media was face to face.
We practiced "Hey Bubba watch this" on regular basis.
We were taught morals, respect, common manners or slapped up side your head.
Firearm safety starting with our 1st single shot at a time Daisy BB rifle.
We walked miles picking up soda bottles for the return deposit at (2 cents). After collecting dozens, we'd get another water cooler cold drink and a honey-bun, or a handful of Moo-Cow, bit of honey, bazookas, or Squirrel nut (zippers) candy.
We did not have that many fat A$$es walking around, and many would and could walk the 90++ heat or the pouring rain w/o a whimper to get somewhere or do something.
Criminals paid a real price for their crimes.
They were put down or put to work.
Not sitting around eating and watch TV in a HVAC house.

Maybe being stressed out from constantly being taxed to death and EVERY bill just getting higher and higher. I also agree with the processed food, anyone remember when they got rid of transfat? PPL got fatter after that.

More crappy food + wrong kind of food (too many carbs) + less active jobs and lifestyles = quicker death
[Breitbart] The protesters are angry that Kenya could be used as a “geopolitical isolation ward” or “dumping ground” for Ebola patients, as the plaintiffs in a lawsuit to halt construction put it. Some say they are afraid Ebola could escape containment at the facility and begin infecting Kenyans.
Residents of Nanyuki are worried that having an Ebola treatment facility at the airbase could depress their tourism industry. Critics of the quarantine facility say it was not planned in a fair and open manner and have sued for the government to release documents pertinent to the project. Ruto has said the facility could also be used to treat Kenyans who contract Ebola, but U.S. officials have not confirmed this was part of the agreement. First Chabahar, now Nanyuki. My summer vacation spot list is getting pared down
“This has gone on for hours and all the demonstrators say that they don’t believe the government’s claim that this Ebola facility will bring them any benefit; they’re deeply skeptical. They say they don’t want this facility in their town,” Al Jazeera News correspondent Malcolm Webb said while reporting on Tuesday’s protest.

So Kenyans Protest U.S.-Built Ebola Quarantine Center.
I guess they feel safe with it loose in their communities. Given they have such a fantastic street level sewer system, super clean water purification system and the best witch doctors in Africa?
BTW:
I am still wondering, what the Elites have decided will be the next major outbreak, or global issue for next US Presidential election?
"The United States is building a 50-bed quarantine facility to treat possible infections from the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)."
In other words, they'd be bringing patients in from far away, not scooping up the local sick.
Also, it is called a "tent facility." That makes me wonder about containment and staffing.
Granted, they don't want to put up containment facilities near the outbreak area because the locals don't trust them (and burn them down) and the rebels aren't friendly either.
Still, I'd not be happy with something like this plopped down near us either.

[American Greatness] The US Postal Service (USPS) has proposed a new rule requiring states to share voter information related to mail-in and absentee voting. The proposal follows a March executive order from Trump aimed at tightening regulations governing mail-in voting in federal elections.
Ooooooohhhh SNAP!!
Trump has made election integrity a central focus of his second administration, issuing executive orders designed to require proof of citizenship for voters and combat mail-in voting fraud. The administration has argued that stronger verification measures are necessary to restore confidence in elections and safeguard the voting process.
Several of those initiatives have faced legal challenges. Courts have blocked certain provisions, including proof-of-citizenship requirements, while appeals remain pending. Democratic-led states have also filed lawsuits challenging the administration’s mail-in voting policies.
As litigation continues, the Postal Service has moved forward with a proposal directing states and the USPS to coordinate on identifying eligible mail-in and absentee voters.
Under the proposed rule, states would submit lists of voters requesting mail-in ballots, along with personalized barcodes assigned to each ballot.
The Postal Service would then return a finalized "Mail-In and Absentee Participation List" to each state’s chief election official. The list would contain the names of approved voters and the corresponding ballot barcodes associated with each voter.
Under the proposal, only voters included on the final participation list would be eligible to receive mail-in or absentee ballots.
The USPS said the new system would help improve transparency and provide election officials and law enforcement with additional tools to verify election procedures.

I would laugh my ass off if they did this. Of course the tyrant liberal judges will order them to deliver mail anyway, but the panty bunching would be hysterical.
[Breitbart] The Trump administration is planning to expand the E-Verify rule to ensure that groups applying for federal grants do not hire illegal migrant workers.
Providing evidence for another reason to cut off rogue NGOs. Not to mention defunding illegals, giving them more reason to pack up and go home before they are arrested and jailed before being thrown out. Good.
Proposed new regulations released by the White House Office of Management and Budget would require all federal grant recipients to enroll in E-Verify and to run all hires through the system to continue to qualify to receive their grant money, Bloomberg reported.
The new rules would be a big change for past grant applicants who never had to use E-Verify before.
The addition of E-Verify is part of the White House’s renewed efforts to root out fraud in federal spending and programs. Grant applicants would risk big fines if they don’t follow the new guidance. Fines range from $288 to $2,861 for every faulty I-9 form submitted.
The requirement is not exactly a new thing for federal contractors because many such businesses have had to enroll in the program since 2009. Still, the proposed rules change would expand the requirement to enroll in E-Verify and would encompass grant applicants in fields including healthcare, education, public parks, and childcare service provides.
Bloomberg added that federal contractors with projects totaling more than $150,000 are required to use E-Verify, but there is no threshold stated for grant recipients in the new OMB rules proposal, apparently meaning that all grant applicants, no matter how small, must be ready to enroll in E-Verify and run all hires through the system.
The rules also state that “subrecipients” — or companies working with a grant recipient — would also have to run hires through E-Verify if they get any money through a federal source.
OMB explained that the new E-Verify rules are “intended to strengthen compliance with Federal employment eligibility requirements for individuals performing work under Federal awards.”
While the OMB rules proposal does not specifically mention the president’s immigration policy goals, the E-Verify rules change is most certainly just one more aspect of Trump’s efforts to ramp up immigration enforcement.

[Regnum] Chinese scientists have discovered the largest whale "graveyard" in the southern Indian Ocean, dating back more than 5 million years. This was reported in the journal Nature.
The wreckage is located in the Diamantina Zone at depths ranging from 4,616 to 7,001 meters. It extends for approximately 1,200 kilometers along the seafloor in the southeastern Indian Ocean. The Diamantina Zone is near western Australia
"The area contains a deep and extensive fossil assemblage, including five modern whale fall communities and 476 documented cetacean fossils," the study said.
Isotope analysis results showed that whale impacts in the area occurred at least 5.3 million years ago.
Among the skeletons discovered, scientists also identified a new extinct whale species. Furthermore, experts discovered previously unknown species of fauna that feed on whale remains.
The carcass of Timmy, a whale previously freed in the North Sea, was previously pulled from the water and onto shore. He died off the coast of Denmark. On May 14, he was discovered off Anholt Island in the North Sea. Danish specialists confirmed that the dead animal was the same whale that had previously become stranded on sandbanks off the coast of Germany.
On May 2, Timmy was released into the North Sea after two entrepreneurs financed a barge to transport him. Marine biologist Fabian Ritter expressed doubt that he retained his ability to fully dive and maneuver after his prolonged stay in shallow water. "What's that, Lassie? Timmy's in the well whale?"
[NY Post] 24 48 hour rule invoked
An American diplomat was found dead in Myanmar’s largest city, the US State Department said, and members of the diplomatic community in Yangon say a Thai woman has been detained by police in connection with the investigation.
American officials in Thailand and the US Embassy in Myanmar referred questions on the case to the State Department, which confirmed the "death of a US government employee" assigned to the embassy in Yangon but gave no other details.
"Out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones, we have no further information to provide at this time," the State Department said in an emailed reply to questions from The Associated Press.
According to three people in the diplomatic community in Myanmar, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, the man was found dead about two weeks ago at the Sakura Residence & Hotel.
The facility, with long-term rentals, is popular with diplomats, business people and other international visitors, and is located about 1 mile from the American Embassy.
