A group of moms at California’s Disneyland were caught on video pounding another woman — as two small children look on and passersby ignore the melee. Footage of the April 23 beatdown at the historic park posted by Instagram user santaanaproblems shows at least five moms — including one holding on to a baby stroller — mercilessly pummeling another woman while she’s lying helpless on the ground.

Several legal experts have said Fulton County DA Fani Willis could face perjury charges regarding her testimony about her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Willis testified they only started dating after Trump’s indictment, but Trump’s lawyers claim phone records show otherwise. If proven, Georgia AG Chris Carr, a Republican, could potentially charge Willis, a Democrat. Trump’s team wants to shift focus from disqualification to potential perjury by Willis. However, legal experts say Willis’ investigation was meritorious and began long before Wade was hired, rebutting claims she pursued it for financial gain. Eric Anderson, an attorney at Early Sullivan Wright...

UCLA officials announced all classes Wednesday morning would be canceled hours after law enforcement was sent to the campus to restore order following attacks on a pro-Palestinian encampment that has been in place at the university since last Thursday. “Due to the distress caused by the violence that took place on Royce Quad late last night and early this morning, all classes are cancelled today. Please avoid the Royce Quad area,” UCLA posted on X, formerly Twitter, shortly before 8:30 a.m. The violence erupted shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday when the group of about 50 counterprotestors wearing dark clothing, hoods...

Rep. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-Ga.) officially put a time frame on her effort to oust Speaker MIKE JOHNSON, announcing at a press conference this morning that she’ll bring up the motion to vacate as a privileged matter next week. Greene’s move will be just the latest chaos to roil the House GOP Conference, but unlike the successful push to depose KEVIN McCARTHY last year, this one “seems doomed,” Olivia Beavers and Jordain Carney report. Having readied for this moment, House Republican leaders are planning to move to quash her attempt, with help from Democrats repulsed by Greene’s coup attempt. (We’ll...

Ukraine is looking to boost female participation in demining operations due to a critical shortage of resources, Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said during a meeting with Canadian Ambassador for Women, Peace and Security, Jacqueline O'Neill, on April 29. "Gender equality is a core component of Ukraine's policy, which is founded on principles of integration, inclusiveness, and integrity. This is applicable across all sectors, including key areas such as demining," Svyrydenko stated, acknowledging the notable progress already made.

Louisiana State Police are investigating the Archdiocese of New Orleans for possible child sex trafficking linked to widespread sexual abuse committed by priests over several decades, WWL reported from a criminal warrant Tuesday. The warrant says that Louisiana State Police are seeking all documents linked to the archdiocese's sexual abuse scandal including letters and emails, as well as priest assignments, transfers and personnel files. State Police are also asking the archdiocese turn over records of all complaints of sexual abuse made to archdiocesan officials and financial records related to the archdiocese's sexual abuse cases and documents that led to priests...

Hating America is among the 'values' of these Palestinians whom no Arab state wants in their country. Why is Biden doing this? Joe Biden is running for re-election and behind in the polls. He's desperate to satisfy his 'death to America' base in places like Dearborn and at campus protests. So now he's come up with a new sweetender to bring those voters back. Importing Gaza "refugees," despite the war, from the Gaza side at least, being about staying in place at home and taking over Israel, too. According to CBS News: The Biden administration is considering bringing certain Palestinians...

Those with the cognitive freedom to consider whether or not biological warfare is a significant factor in current world politics, are free to add “● plagues”, to the list: “Top finance has an interest in all wars, revolutions, crashes and famines”. Now, ● plagues. Another way of considering the “wars” element in that list, is to examine, whether or not Russia has a common interest with NATO in maintaining perpetual war.The phenomenon can’t simply be explained as pandering to various nations’ armaments industries. (Failure has been noted of U.S. arms manufacturers to match Russia’s decisive development of hypersonic missiles.)This principle...

It looks like a Lotus in the middle of unscheduled brain surgery, but the Engler V12 is somehow far more absurd. It's the world's fastest quad bike – a 1,200-horsepower pile of evil, rolling malarkey that no sane person should ride in anger. We were less than charitable when the 850-hp, V10 Engler Superquad was first introduced in 2019. When the 2023 version was introduced with an extra 250 hp, we seriously considered where it might rank among a murderer's row of the most terrifying vehicles ever built. Now there’s a new V12 model with an extra 100 hp and...

Explanation: To some, this nebula looks like the head of a fish. However, this colorful cosmic portrait really features glowing gas and obscuring dust clouds in IC 1795, a star forming region in the northern constellation Cassiopeia. The nebula's colors were created by adopting the Hubble color palette for mapping narrowband emissions from oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur atoms to blue, green and red colors, and further blending the data with images of the region recorded through broadband filters. Not far on the sky from the famous Double Star Cluster in Perseus, IC 1795 is itself located next to IC 1805,...

A 'cursed' wooden steamship that vanished in Lake Superior in 1909 with 14 crew members on board has finally been discovered. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society say they found the Adella Shores after it went missing on May 1, 1909, in Whitefish Point, Michigan. Adella Shores - which locals feared had been cursed after its sober owners christened it by smashing a bottle of water on its hull rather than booze - was found more than 40 miles northwest of Whitefish Point in over 650 feet of water. The 195-foot ship was built in Gibraltar, Michigan, and weighed in...

I'm in Victory Park, Moscow's giant memorial complex dedicated to the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany. A new open-air exhibition has just opened. But it has nothing to do with World War Two. On display is Western military hardware captured by the Russian army in Ukraine. They are war trophies and Russia has decided to flaunt them. Among the armour here is a British Army Husky tactical support vehicle which had been donated to Ukraine. Its windscreen is covered in bullet-holes. Opposite the Husky I can see Western tanks that had been transferred to the Ukrainian military. There's an...
