The Last Narc In 1985, DEA agent Enrique `Kiki" Camarena is kidnapped, tortured and murdered by Mexican drug lords. Special Agent Hector Berellez reveals the truth about the conspiracy behind Camarena's murder that stretches from Mexico to Washington, D.C. Covers a lot of already know connections involving the Nicaragua. Felix Rodríguez is a piece of work and still never held accountable for his role.

The administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, Michael Whitaker, resigned from his position on January 20 after repeated demands from Elon Musk that he quit, leaving the agency without a Senate-confirmed leader during a major crisis in the wake of the D.C. plane crash. Musk called for Whitaker’s resignation in September after the FAA chief proposed fining Musk’s company SpaceX over $600,000 in civil penalties for failing to follow license requirements during two launches in 2023. Whitaker told a congressional panel at the time that fines were “the only tool we have to get compliance on safety matters.” As as we now know..... Qantas says it was forced to delay several of its flights to South Africa at the last minute due to warnings of falling debris from when the rocket was expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere. But SpaceX had delayed its launch window multiple times, contributing to Qantas's string of delays, which could last up to six hours. SpaceX chose the area above the Southern Indian Ocean as a re-entry point due to its remoteness. That happens to be directly in Qantas' flight path between Sydney and Johannesburg.

The man is a complete moron 🙄 Washington: In comments that have been labelled “despicable”, US President Donald Trump has sought to blame diversity and inclusion policies and the Biden administration for a midair collision in the US capital that killed 67 people, while admitting there was no evidence yet to support his claims.

Probably lived longer than she should have. In 1969 Faithfull came to Australia with Jagger who'd been chosen to play the lead role in the film Ned Kelly. A short time into the visit she overdosed, falling into a six-day coma. It was a strange experience she recalled, claiming that while she was unconscious she met former Rolling Stone Brian Jones, who'd died a month earlier.

It's pretty much a censored AI. Friend of mine who works in the media uploaded a video testing that theory. I'll see if I can upload it.

Looked like an absolute soft cock when Gavin Newsom confronted him...."you want to talk shit, say it to my face" Melania looked turned on by it though 😜

Perhaps OH could put a link on his Fire Island Only Fans page to generate some traffic although it may need vetting which I'm sure he'd be happy to do.

My understanding is the only way the US could acquire Greenland was if it ceased being an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Something it has no desire to do. It's a bit like his desire for Canada to become part of the USA. The idiot has no idea about the Westminster system.

Didn't take long! January 6 rioter Matthew Huttle shot dead by police during traffic stop just days after Trump pardon Matthew Huttle was sentenced to six months in custody in 2023 after pleading guilty to entering a restricted building, the US Capitol. (FBI) In short: Police say that a January 6 rioter who had recently been pardoned by Donald Trump has been shot and killed by police at a traffic stop. Matthew Huttle, who agreed to a plea deal that gave him six months in jail in 2023, was in possession of a firearm during the traffic stop, state police said. The investigation is ongoing. An Indiana man who was recently pardoned by US President Donald Trump for his participation in the January 6 riots has been shot and killed by a deputy at a traffic stop. Matthew Huttle was shot by a Jasper County sheriff's deputy on Sunday morning, local time, after allegedly resisting arrest after an altercation took place with an officer, authorities said. Matthew Huttle was inside the Capitol for 16 minutes. (FBI via Porter County Sheriff’s Office, Porter County, Indiana) The 42-year-old was in possession of a firearm during the traffic stop, state police said. Huttle was one of the almost 1,500 people pardoned by Mr Trump as one of his first acts upon his return to the White House. State police said that the deputy officer tried to arrest the man from Hobart, Indiana, when an altercation "took place between the suspect and the officer, which resulted in the officer firing his weapon and fatally wounding the suspect". The investigation is ongoing, state police say. No other details were released and authorities didn't say what might have prompted the traffic stop. In 2023, Huttle was sentenced to six months in custody after pleading guilty to entering a restricted building, the US Capitol. He had travelled with his uncle, 73-year-old Dale Huttle, to Washington to attend the pro-Trump rally on January 6, 2021. Matthew's uncle, Dale Huttle, was identified by the FBI in photos and videos that came to light following January 6. (FBI) Hundreds of Trump supporters launched an assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, tearing down barricades, fighting police and sending politicians running for their lives in a failed attempt to stop the certification of Trump's election loss. Huttle was inside the Capitol for 16 minutes and recorded it on video. "He is not a true believer in any political cause," defence attorney Andrew Hemmer said in a court filing. Trump pardons almost everyone involved in January 6 riot Photo shows Donald Trump holds up a signed document in the Oval Office. The president's first act upon his return to the Oval Office is to sign an order pardoning almost 1,500 people involved in the insurrection. Mr Hemmer said that Huttle went to the rally because he thought "it would be a historic moment" and he had "nothing better to do" after getting out of jail for a driving offence. His uncle was sentenced to 30 months according to the US Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. He was also pardoned. Nick Barnes, a lawyer who was representing Huttle in pending motor vehicle cases in Lake County, said he didn't know the circumstances of the shooting. "I plan to find out a lot more about it," Mr Barnes said. Sheriff Patrick Williamson said his condolences go out to the family of the deceased. "Any loss of life is traumatic to those that were close to Mr Huttle," he said.

Blame the Village People

She looks like a child in the first pic 😳

Not everyone as it's an Observed Common State Holiday meaning if you are not a State or Territory it not a Holiday. eg: Christmas Island etc

Similar deportation flights also happened when Joe Biden was president. Though these deportation flights didn't happen via military planes but on commercial flights. What I believe Columbia objected to was how it was done noting deportees walking on a tarmac restrained and not being treated with any dignity. So the tariffs were never really in play which is why it was resolved so quickly. But that will never be broadly mentioned. So the cost of a coffee in the US remains unchanged

I think it's time Orange Man gets his own thread given the number of idiotic words he will mutter over the next 4 years. Sports and Leisure perhaps? Covers entertainment doesn't it?

62-year-old will be extradited for trial in murder case dating back to 2004 in UK The British suspect in the murder of his Thai wife in 2004 has been arrested in Mueang district of Kanchanaburi province and will be extradited to his home country.David Stuart Armitage, 62, wanted for the murder of Lamduan Seekanya, a Thai woman from Udon Thani province, was arrested by the Immigration Bureau and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) on January 23. Armitage, who had fled the UK, was residing in Thailand for an extended period, according to the DSI investigation. The arrest ended a two-decade-long investigation into the mysterious death of Lamduan in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, UK. Armitage was detained under the Immigration Act and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act between Thailand and the United Kingdom for further legal proceedings. In 2004, the body of a young woman was found lying dead in the mountains of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Local residents referred to the unknown woman as the "Lady of the Hills" because no one knew her identity. The body was found half-naked, face down, barefoot, and wearing a wedding ring. Officers issued a public appeal to locate her relatives, but no one came forward. Her body was buried in a grave at a village near the site where she was found. Ten years after her death, a new investigative team in the UK took over the cold case, hoping to resolve old unsolved mysteries. The officers formed a hypothesis, suggesting that the woman could have been a "Thai-bride type", meaning a Thai or Southeast Asian woman who married a foreigner and moved to the UK. This was a common migration trend in the 1990s and early 2000s. The police speculated that the reason no one had reported her as missing could be that her acquaintances believed she had returned to Thailand, and thus did not consider her disappearance unusual to report her as missing. The investigators theorised that she may have been killed at home and her body transported to the remote valley to be discarded as a way to conceal the crime. The perpetrator, they assumed, must have been familiar with the area, suggesting local knowledge. In the meantime, the police sent tissue samples and other remains from her body for analysis, including her bones and teeth. The tests revealed that she was Southeast Asian and contained isotopes in her bones that were specific to regions in South Cumbria and the northern tip of Lancashire. At this point, the police were able to narrow down the possible origins of the woman and where she may have lived in the UK. They contacted Thailand for information, asking if any Thai woman with the described features had gone missing. Authorities in Thailand publicised the case, and eventually, a family came forward. They identified the woman as Lamduan Seekanya from Udon Thani, who had married a British man and moved to live with him in the UK. In the beginning, she sent money home and consulted her family about being physically abused by her husband. After that, there was no further contact, and her family had no knowledge of her fate. The UK police then coordinated with forensic institutes to collect DNA samples from her relatives for comparison with the DNA of the "woman of the hills". The results confirmed that the woman was indeed Lamduan Seekanya. After her identity was confirmed, the British media began investigating her husband’s role and questioned him about Lamduan's disappearance. At that time, her husband had relocated to Thailand and was working as a language instructor at a university. The suspect will be deported and sent back to the UK to face legal proceedings.

A Common State Holiday is one which is not a National Holiday which Australia Day is. Like in Victoria the Melbourne Cup is a Public Holiday there but not in any other states. So Australia Day is a National Holiday every year on January 26th.

Or is it more about social conditioning? It goes beyond most people's typical discomfort when facing change.

No it's still celebrated on January 26th. Jan 27th is a Public Holiday because Australia Day fell on a Sunday meaning it was already a day off. We just get an extra day to make it a long weekend. Had it fallen on a Tuesday or a Wednesday it would not have made a difference to the days off.

You've lost me. Not sure where you are but where I am it's the same day as always.

Trying to find a bit of common sense, logic or open mindedness from a Trump supporter is like trying to find a pork chop in a synagogue 🙄

It's probably the equivalent to your Columbus Day however to help you understand try and imagine the Native American Indians protested against it calling it Invasion Day. Only an issue for a small percentage of the population who never do themselves any favors by carrying on like pork chops. Almost nine in 10 Australians believe Australia Day should continue to be celebrated on January 26, a new poll has found, revealing an overwhelming majority – and growing number – of our population is firmly against changing the date. Thousands of people are expected to attend Invasion Day protests, rallies, marches and vigils this weekend, their call to move our national holiday away from the anniversary of white settlement – which they say marks the dispossession and enduring oppression of our First Nations people – is falling on increasingly deaf ears. An online survey of more than 21,000 people, conducted by News Corp, showed at least 87 per cent think our national day should remain as it is, and at least three in four Australians declared any government that changes the date would lose their support. Just 12 per cent of respondents backed calls to change the date, and one per cent advocated for no celebration at all. And my final point is if people are getting their information of Facebook.....I rest my case.

Happy Australia Day to my fellow Aussie board members🇦🇺

Gotta love political astigmatism
