You’re Gonna Laugh Your Head Off When You Find Out Why Jasmine Crockett’s Opponent Is In Trouble

The Texas Democratic Senate primary race took a bizarre turn when a TikTok influencer claimed one of the candidates made a racist remark about former Rep. Colin Allred, who had dropped out of the race.

Morgan Thompson, a black political TikTok personality, dropped a bombshell allegation on Sunday. She claimed she had a private conversation with state Rep. James Talarico, who is running neck and neck with U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett for the Democratic Party’s nomination.

During the conversation, Talarico insulted Allred, allegedly telling her that he “signed up to run against a mediocre black man, not a formidable, intelligent black woman,” referring to Allred and Crockett respectively.

Thompson said she previously backed Talarico before Crockett entered the race in December. She had requested the meeting with Talarico to express her concerns over his association with Democratic strategist James Carville, who has told the party on several occasions that they need to abandon their reliance on woke identity politics.

Ryan Routh Sentenced to Life in Prison for Trump Assassination Attempt

A federal judge on Feb. 4 sentenced Ryan Routh to life in prison for attempting in 2024 to assassinate President Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate.

Routh was also sentenced to seven years behind bars on a gun charge and received a $500 fine.

During the sentencing hearing, prosecutors sought life imprisonment for his assassination plot, while the defense mounted broad but ultimately unsuccessful objections.

Defense attorney Martin Roth opened by making a blanket objection to all facts in the pre-sentence investigation report, reiterating Routh’s not-guilty plea and disputing any finding that he intended to commit murder. Judge Aileen Cannon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida pressed Roth on whether he would offer evidence to support the objection. When he said “no,” prosecutors argued that the report contains facts, not allegations. Cannon overruled the objection.

Roth next argued that the federal terrorism statute did not apply, claiming that it does not cover former presidents or major presidential candidates. Cannon read the statute aloud and repeatedly asked Roth to identify a legal gap.

Prosecutors countered that the statute is not exhaustive and clearly covers conduct related to protected individuals, including assault and interference with protective duties. They emphasized that assault under the law includes impeding agents in the performance of their duties. Cannon agreed and ruled that the charges qualified as terrorism offenses, citing overwhelming evidence such as text messages, months of planning, and weapons acquisition.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize faces fresh scrutiny after Epstein files release

Former U.S President Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize has come under renewed scrutiny following the latest release of documents linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, reopening long‑standing questions about the credibility of the award and the conduct of those who oversaw it.

In a public post on his official X account, Kirill Dmitriev, a senior Russian official and special envoy of President Vladimir Putin, has revealed that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee was connected to elites named in the Epstein files, singling out former chairman Thorbjørn Jagland and pointing to 2014 email correspondence cited in the latest document release.

Obama’s Disputed Nobel Peace Prize

The claims support earlier criticism by U.S. President Donald Trump, who for years has argued the Nobel Peace Prize is politicised and inconsistent, frequently citing Obama’s 2009 award as premature while the U.S remained at war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Obama’s 2009 award drew immediate global debate for timing and substance, while later prizes to China’s Liu Xiaobo in 2010 and the European Union in 2012 generated diplomatic backlash.

The pressure from these debated awards led to the demotion of Jagland from the chair while retaining him on the committee in March 2015.

No Epstein link was cited at the time.

The massive 2026 document release has also pulled in Norway’s elite beyond Jagland.

Hillsborough Sheriff: Teen linked to extremist group threatened mass shooting, held child pornography

An investigation into a 14-year-old boy planning to conduct a mass shooting revealed his connection to a separate child pornography investigation, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said they received a tip that the teenager had access to weapons and was planning a mass shooting at a church near his Wimauma home.

During a news conference Wednesday afternoon, Sheriff Chad Chronister explained the teen discussed his plan for the shooting in an online chatroom designated for “violent extremists.” He described it as a neo-Nazi, satanic group called “Temple of Love.”

“This case is a dangerous intersection between individuals that engage in online activity and the real-life threat that it poses,” he said.

Through investigative means, detectives discovered the 14-year-old was possibly connected to an active HCSO child pornography investigation. 

After conducting a search warrant at his home, officials reported finding multiple firearms, ammunition and electronic devices with child sexual abuse material on them. 

The sheriff said the child pornographic material found was 14 pieces of “extremely graphic” images of people inflicting violence on infants and toddlers.

“Images too graphic to discuss because it would keep you up at night,” he said.

Scuba school told instructors they were allowed to KILL two students a year, shocking lawsuit from family of girl, 12, who died there alleges

A scuba school told its instructors they were allowed to kill two students a year, according to a lawsuit filed by heartbroken parents whose daughter died while taking lessons there. 

The astonishing claim comes after 12-year-old Dylan Harrison tragically drowned on August 16, 2025, while attending a class at The Scuba Ranch in Terrell, Texas, about 40 minutes outside of Dallas. 

Harrison, who was also known as ‘Dillie Picklez’ by her loved ones, was eager to get her National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) Open Water diving certification so she could join her family members in the underwater activity. 

But sadly, her dreams never came true after she vanished during her training class that summer day. She was found dead about 45ft underwater, approximately 35ft away from the platform. 

Now, a new lawsuit filed on January 30 by Harrison’s mother and father, Heather and Mitchell, detailed the disturbing guidelines the scuba school owner told his employees before being entrusted with students in the water. 

Joseph Johnson, the owner of Scubatoys, a dive and certification shop that the family was using for Harrison, was ‘seen bragging to a roomful of Scubatoys Instructors’ that two students were allowed to die each year and the business would ‘still be fine,’ the documents allege. 

The unearthed footage, filmed in 2017 by an employee, captured a worker telling Johnson not to take lawsuits lightly. 

Stunningly, Johnson appeared to have very little compassion over the statement, shrugging and telling his workers: ‘All I know is we’ve killed what, four people, five people, and we’ve never even done a deposition.

Jeffrey Epstein’s secret ‘tunnel’ underneath island lair as sinister ‘trapdoor’ is revealed in files

Jeffrey Epstein appeared obsessed with a ‘tunnel’ at his Caribbean island lair, emails released by the Department of Justice suggest.

For years, the late pedophile took a great personal interest in the tunnel, sending emails to staff to check on renovations.

The first message about it in millions of files released by the DOJ appears to have been in August 2009 when Epstein received an email discussing plans for a Virgin Islands architecture firm to do work at his home on the island of Little Saint James.

The email referred to a previous ‘team that added tunnels and office below the main house’ in the past.

The architecture firm subsequently confirmed it was contracted to build a ‘subterranean screening room,’ but it severed ties with Epstein and that was never built.

In 2012, Epstein sent a message to an aide saying: ‘Thanks, i want the floor done in the wood tunnel. all the equptent m=ved out floor done on thurs left till monday. thanks.’

Then, in a flurry of emails, starting in April 2015, he was told by an aide: ‘Tunnel floor completed.’

Two months later, he was sent an email headed ‘tunnel/ maint’ which said: ‘As requested, floor plans of the existing “tunnel” building and m=intenance building with square footages.’

Several months after that, he asked an aide ‘why are the rusty lockers still there? and was told ‘I’ll throw them out in the morning.’

In November 2017, Epstein sent an email to two others convening a conference about the tunnel.

He wrote: ‘id like to have a c=ll with you both, today.. i need help thinking about ho= to reorganie the island. move laundry, ? addtiona= staff. . ? tunnel move.’

He later followed up with: ‘tunnel with cots ? ballet room? co=t you less. . be generous with those that work.’

Shocking new details emerge about Australia’s alleged satanic paedophile ring – after police arrested one of their own and a top swimming coach

As heavily armed police swooped in for their sixth arrest in an alleged satanic paedophile ring, disturbing new details have emerged about the alleged actions of three men, including a swimming coach.

A dozen Riot Squad officers, along with Child Exploitation Strike Force detectives, entered the Woollahra home of 62-year-old Colin Milne in Sydney‘s eastern suburbs early on Tuesday and charged him with 18 alleged offences.

Some of the charges against Milne, who is due to face a bail court on Wednesday, allegedly involve bestiality and ‘animal crush’ material, in which animals are subjected to extreme torture for the entertainment or sexual gratification of viewers.

NSW State Crime Command now believes it has tracked down a further 145 alleged predators across the world related to what is described as an alleged ‘international satanic child sex abuse material ring’.

The Daily Mail can exclusively reveal that three of the men already charged were living in a squalid prison house and were allegedly actively involved in possessing or distributing child abuse material, with two also facing drug possession charges and one accused of associating with other child sex offenders.

Police said at the time the men, who include former swimming coach Mark Andrew Sendecky, were arrested at a unit block in Malabar, but in fact they were living at Nunyara Community Offender Support Program.

A halfway house in the former periodic detention centre, which backs onto Long Bay jail, Nunyara COSP accommodates men who are subject to community supervision orders, including convicted paedophiles and child killers on release from prison.

Sendecky’s co-accused, Benjamin Raymond Drysdale and Stuart Woods Riches, were both allegedly in possession of methamphetamine at the location.

Seattle to pay $30M for teen death in anti-cop CHOP zone — because ambulances wouldn’t go there

The city of Seattle has been ordered to dole out $30 million to the dad of a teen who died from a gunshot wound inside a Black Lives Matter occupation zone in 2020 after first responders refused to enter the protest area.

The Emerald City was found liable by a jury Thursday of botching its emergency response to the still-unsolved shooting of Antonio Mays Jr., 16, on June 29 inside the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone — a movement that was established in response to George Floyd’s death at the hands of cops in Minneapolis, Minn., two weeks earlier.

The verdict came after an unusually long 12 days of deliberations by the 12-person jury — which only needed 10 to agree rather than a unanimous decision. Civil cases only require jurors to find claims were proven by the “preponderance of the evidence” — or over 50% probability — unlike a criminal case which requires jurors to find guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

A City Fined Her Over $100,000 for Parking on Her Own Grass. The Florida Supreme Court Won’t Hear Her Case.

What price should someone pay for three minor code violations?

For Sandy Martinez of Lantana, Florida, the answer is: over $165,000, plus interest, a sum so high that selling her house would be insufficient to pay off the debt, according to her complaint filed against the city in 2021. The Florida Supreme Court effectively closed the door on the case in December when it declined her appeal and left in place a decision that ruled the fines were not “excessive.” But Martinez’s little-known story is a microcosm of the broader debate over what, exactly, transgresses the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on fines that are unconstitutionally severe, especially as local governments are known to rely on such penalties to raise revenue.

Whether there is a disconnect between common sense and the law is open to interpretation. The bulk of her debt—over $100,000—comes from a parking job.

Black mother ruined life of white boy by lying that he was racist bully who forced her son to drink urine, netting family $120k on GoFundMe

A black mother who said her son was forced to drink urine by a racist bully was ordered to pay millions in damages for intentionally smearing his name.

SeMarion Humphrey, an eighth grader at Haggard Middle School at the time, was allegedly forced to drink urine and was racially abused during a sleepover with a group of classmates in February 2021, triggering a police investigation.  

Humphrey’s mother, Summer Smith, claimed her son was taunted and called the N-word, in addition to a number of homophobic slurs, and that some of the boys shot him with a BB gun during the sleepover in Plano, Texas. 

After a clip from the sleepover went viral, Smith, and her attorney Kim Cole, raised nearly $120,000 on GoFundMe to help pay for his ‘therapy and private schooling.’

Humphrey’s mom targeted Asher Vann – a white student who was hosting the sleepover – and ran his name through the mud in a bid to get ‘justice’ for her son. 

Smith posted on her public social media for Vann to be expelled from school, causing him to receive death threats and fear for his life.

Now five years later, a diverse Texas jury ruled that Smith and Cole must pay $3.2 million in damages to Vann for the smear campaign they triggered.

Vann, now 18, was never charged for the alleged racial bullying – and when the claims were brought up in court, police and teachers testified that the kids were simply playing stupid pranks on one another.

Vann’s lawsuit came to civil trial in October 2025, where the jury was ruled that Smith and Cole exploited the incident to rake in thousands of dollars in donations. 

According to records obtained by the Free Beacon, Smith put a mere $1,000 of the staggering GoFundMe pot toward her son’s assets – pocketing the rest for herself.

The account statements reveal the remaining funds were spent on luxuries, including a designer dog, dining and travel, cell phones and car payments.

‘I was getting death threats from thousands of people on social media,’ Vann told Free Beacon, who is now a freshman in college.

‘People leaked my address and my name. During one of the protests, they walked all the way to my house and threw bricks through my house.’

Vann and his family sued Smith and Cole for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress, which the jury ruled in Vann’s favor.

‘It was scary. These were adults, and I was in middle school at the time. Full-grown adults were rushing my house and causing harm to it,’ Vann told the outlet.

‘What if I was home and they saw me? They could have ripped me from my home and beaten me. It was very scary.’

Criminal charges were initially launched against the boys because of the BB gun claims, but Plano Police Department Officer Patricia McClure testified that there wasn’t enough probable cause for the charges, the outlet reported.
