      Truck driver acquitted in deaths of 7 motorcyclists in 2019

      A jury on Tuesday acquitted a commercial truck driver of causing the deaths of seven motorcyclists in a horrific head-on collision in northern New Hampshire that exposed fatal flaws in the processing of license revocations across states. Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 26, of West Springfield, Massachusetts, was found innocent on seven counts of manslaughter, seven counts of negligent homicide and one count of reckless conduct in connection with the June 21, 2019, crash in Randolph. Jurors deliberated for less than three hours after a two-week trial during which prosecutors argued that Zhukovskyy — who had taken heroin, fentanyl and cocaine earlier on the day of the crash — repeatedly swerved back and forth before the collision and told police he caused it.

      Ukrainian Secret Agents Are Scaring the Kremlin Shitless With Deadly Explosions and Covert Poison Ops

      Ukrainian saboteurs and special forces are said to be causing chaos against Russian targets behind enemy lines—with their most spectacular operation to date going off with a bang Tuesday. After a series of explosions ripped through a Russian air base on the occupied Crimean peninsula, the Russian defense ministry said that detonating aerial ordnance at the site was to blame and that no one had been hurt. Questions about the Kremlin's version of efforts were immediately raised based on videos of the blasts shared on social media, which analysts said looked much more like the result of a coordinated attack than an isolated accident.

      The first Ukraine grain cargo refused by buyer -Ukrainian embassy in Lebanon

      The Razoni, the first ship to depart Ukraine under an U.N.-brokered deal, is looking for another port to unload its grain cargo as the initial Lebanese buyer refused delivery citing a more than five-month delay, Embassy of Ukraine in Lebanon said on Monday. "According to the information provided by the shipper of the Ukrainian grain aboard the Razoni, the buyer in Lebanon refused to accept the cargo due to delays in delivery terms," the embassy said in a Facebook post. "So the shipper is now looking for another consignee to offload his cargo either in Lebanon/Tripoli or any other country/port."

      Steven Seagal appears in Ukraine, serving as a Russian spokesperson

      Early reports from the Russian invasion of Ukraine suggested that President Vladimir Putin's military had deployed, of all people, actor Steven Seagal alongside its troops. Russia and Ukraine are each casting blame for the prison's destruction, meanwhile, with Moscow alleging that Ukrainian forces used U.S.-made ordnance—a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS—to bring the building down, according to the Washington Post. In a video posted to Russian news site TVZVEZDA, Seagal, who is identified as a special representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Relations between Russia and the U.S., appears to serve as a spokesperson against Ukraine's use of HIMARS.

      'Bastards and scum': Ex-Russian President Medvedev broadcasts dark Kremlin ambitions

      Once known as a moderating influence within the Kremlin, former Russian President and current top Kremlin security adviser Dmitry Medvedev has recently emerged as a strikingly bellicose presence, using lengthy, hard-edged posts on the social media network Telegram to justify the invasion of Ukraine, revise 20th century history and threaten the West with nuclear war. In a post from July, Medvedev described Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as under the influence of “psychotropic substances. In another, he said that American democracy was little more than the totalitarian dystopia described in “Animal Farm,” George Orwell's famous novel.

      Alex Jones likely to win large cut in Sandy Hook punitive damages award - attorneys

      (Reuters) -U.S. conspiracy theorist Alex Jones could end up owing as little as 10% of the $45.2 million in punitive damages that a Texas jury awarded to the parents of a Sandy Hook victim last week, legal experts told Reuters on Monday. A jury handed down the punitive damages' verdict on Friday and awarded the parents $4.1 million in compensatory damages on Thursday after a two-week trial in Austin, Texas, where Jones' Infowars radio show and webcast is based. Jones was found last year to have defamed parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, by spreading lies that they were part of a government plot to stage the massacre.

      'The Daily Show' Digs Up Old Clips To Put Fox News' Hypocrisy On Full Display

      “The Daily Show” put Fox News' hypocrisy on display Tuesday after many of the right-wing network's hosts and pundits spent 24 hours melting down over the FBI's raid of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and resort in Palm Beach, Florida. The search was reportedly part of a federal investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House. Outraged personalities at Fox News have since lobbed just about every accusation in the book, describing the raid as the “worst attack on the United States in modern history,” comparing the FBI to the Russian KGB and calling for the FBI to be defunded.

      Georgia man who shot son for taking too long to pick up food from McDonald’s avoids prison

      Willie McKinley Hill dabbed tears with a tissue as he sat before a judge awaiting his fate. Two summers ago, Hill shot and wounded his 17-year-old son during an argument that boiled over after Hill sent his son to pick up some food at McDonald's. When the son took more than an hour to return, and with cold food, long-brewing tension between the pair led to gunfire.

      Watch sneaky alligator conceal itself in seconds at Texas refuge. ‘Scarily beautiful’

      When visiting gator country, floating logs suddenly become suspicious, ripples on the water's surface earn a watchful eye, and every splash triggers the pervasive thought that a reptilian torpedo is closing in fast. That's because alligators embody stealth, and a video recently captured at a Texas wildlife refuge is a reminder of this, showcasing a vanishing act as fast as it is effortless. In the video, shared Aug. 2 by the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, an alligator is seen lumbering into shallow water beside a hiking trail.

      FBI warrant for search of Trump home may involve suspected violations of Espionage Act, former chief of DOJ national security says

      But it also “actually has provisions that apply to essentially the mishandling [of classified material] through gross negligence, permitting documents to be removed from their proper place, or to be lost, stolen or destroyed,” Mary McCord, a veteran federal prosecutor who headed DOJ's national security division in the closing years of the Obama administration, told the Yahoo News “Skullduggery” podcast. McCord said that the Espionage Act is one of two federal crimes that prosecutors may be focusing on in their warrant to search Trump's home.

      Toilet photos undercut Trump claim he never tried to flush presidential records

      New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman released photos on Monday that appear to show that former President Donald Trump tried to dispose of documents by ripping them up and placing them in toilets. The pictures, which appear to back up Haberman's reporting in her forthcoming book, "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America," support reporting from multiple news outlets that Trump routinely ripped up documents in violation of the Presidential Records Act. Haberman obtained the photos, which were first published by Axios and which she also shared with Yahoo News, from sources inside the former administration.

    • “Rich countries have ignored endemic monkeypox in West and Central Africa for far too long, despite having effective vaccines.”

    • “The biggest worry for Americans is not the disease: It’s that our response to it shows how little we have learned from COVID-19.”

    • “Monkeypox should be a relatively easier virus to control, but only if the United States takes the needed steps now.”

    • “Global health officials must advocate for and enact a unified, coherent approach to fighting the monkeypox pandemic.”
