"Congratulations President Trump on your victory!"

A West Virginia resident spotted a mysterious creature lingering near a tree at a local park. According to a local media report, the strange sighting occurred late last month as Brittany Keller drove through Ritter Park in the city of Huntington. She noticed a curious quadruped. "I stopped to take a better look," she recalled "I realized that it was something I had never seen around here before."Keller managed to record the unknown creature with her cell phone and subsequently posted it on social media, where it generated an array of theories. A wildlife expert indicated that the creature resembled a fox with mange or a similar ailment that made it look unusual. What are your thoughts? Is it a natural animal from the area, or an escaped exotic pet?**********CHICAGO MOTHMAN - 'UNSOLVED MYSTERIES' VIEWER REPORTS! | LIVE CHAT | Q & A (EYEWITNESS SUBMISSIONS)PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

"There it was, roughly the size of a bear, but the head was more canid than ursid, and the body was more lean. We stood there staring at each other for what felt like forever!"I received the following account:"Hi. The year was 2017, and there was going to be a Blood Moon that night. So I collected a bunch of equipment to get a good picture of it. I borrowed an awesome camera that could be attached to a telescope, and had my laptop and various other equipment, but also strapped on my .40 caliber pistol because there are mountain lions and coyotes in the area (Bayfield County, Wisconsin). Loaded all my gear into my Jeep and headed to an area a few miles away from town.I arrive at the place where I'm going to set up, begin unloading and setting everything up and I hear some nearby sheep start freaking out. Didn't think much of it, and after a handful of minutes, they went quiet again. Just as I was unloading the scope I heard a very loud splash (there was a small creek in the field) and for some reason, this caught my attention. I stood up and looked towards the creek for a second but didn't hear anything else so I went back to setting up the scope.Now I hear some rustling, twigs snapping, that sort of thing, and stand up and shine my flashlight around to see what I can see. Don't see anything and whatever it went quiet when I shined the light around so I figured I'd scared it off and started screwing the scope onto the tripod when I heard a very loud snap and whipped back around, pulling my gun and shining my light towards a fallen tree I'd noticed earlier.And there it was, roughly the size of a bear, but the head was more canid than ursid, and the body was more lean. We stood there staring at each other for what felt like forever, then it growled and charged and I screamed and fired my gun repeatedly (after the fact I found I'd fired 8 shots). It bowled me over and I fully expected that my life was over, but instead of following through with the attack it just kept running and disappeared into the cornfield nearby. Thoroughly spooked I tossed the most expensive bits I'd unpacked back into the Jeep and left immediately, only going back once the sun was fully up to finish recollecting my gear. When I got there I found a Game Warden, a couple of Sheriff's Deputies, and the farmer who owned the field/pasture.Apparently whatever it was had killed a couple sheep, and they were trying to figure out what it was and where it went. The tracks were both canid but also not canid, they were strangely "longer" than a standard dog print. What was it? Well I'm still not sure and sometimes it still keeps me up at night, some have suggested it was a "Dogman?" I'm not sure I believe in such things."

Crime in rock music is a concept as varied as the genre itself, embodying everything from passionate transgressions to chilling acts of violence, rebellion, and moral gray areas. Each song on this list examines criminality in its own unique way—sometimes depicting a small personal betrayal, and other times delving into darker, more complex offenses. Whether the crime is against an individual, society, or even the self, these tracks explore how musicians interpret and confront wrongdoing across a spectrum of styles and emotions. Some songs hint at criminality through themes of cheating or infidelity, while others dive into severe, irreparable acts.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Colorado voters passed a tax on firearms and ammunition sales in the state aimed at reducing gun violence, The Associated Press projects. Proposition KK applies a 6.5% tax on all sales of firearms, ammunition, and certain firearms parts, according to the Colorado Legislature. The tax revenue will be used to help “crime victim support services, mental health services for veterans and youth, and school safety programs.” The new tax is expected to generate $39 million in the first year, according to a legislative analysis of the measure. The measure had 54.2% supporting and 45.8% opposing, with 76% of votes counted as of Thursday morning, according to the AP. Colorado is middling in gun ownership, having the 21st lowest rate in the county in 2022, according to the World Population Review. However, the state has a strong hunting culture, with the industry bringing in roughly $843 million yearly, according to the Colorado Wildlife Council. Voters also rejected Proposition 127, which would have banned hunting of “big cats,” like bobcats, mountain lions, and others. There has been no registered spending from either side of the issue on the tax initiative, according to Ballotpedia. “Firearms and ammunition are already subject to an 11% federal excise tax through the Pittman-Robertson Act, along with a variety of other state and local taxes and fees,” the National Rifle Association said in March. “California is the only other state to enact similar legislation. This tax should be seen as nothing more than an attack on the Second Amendment and those who exercise their rights under it.” Advocates argue that the tax is small and will provide crucial services to victims of domestic abuse and gun violence, according to Everytown for Gun Safety in September. “Gun violence in all its forms continues to devastate Colorado families and communities, and Coloradans have the opportunity to take action by voting in favor of Prop KK on the ballot in November,” Linda Magid, lead of the Moms Demand Action’s Colorado Chapter, told Everytown for Gun Safety. “By requiring a modest tax on firearms and ammunition, Coloradans will be able to guarantee new funding for protecting and healing survivors, and providing services critical in breaking cycles of violence. VOTE YES ON Prop KK and show your commitment to our state’s safety and future.” Colorado will also decide on Proposition 130, which would increase police funding by $300 million, according to the measure. As of the time of writing, the initiative has 53% support and 46.9% opposition, according to the unofficial vote count.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy said Thursday that a “clemency package” for both President-elect Donald Trump and Hunter Biden could be “coming together.” Special counsel Jack Smith is reportedly closing down his cases against Trump, whom he indicted on allegations of mishandling classified material and over his challenges to the 2020 election. McCarthy said that dropping the cases against Trump could enable President Joe Biden to pardon his son, Hunter, who was convicted on federal gun charges and who pleaded guilty to federal tax charges. “I also think, from what I can gather, that sort of a deal is coming together because everyone understands that President Biden is going to pardon his son, Hunter. That is not going to go down well—at least if it’s in a vacuum because, of course, he vowed he wouldn’t do it, not that anyone took that too seriously,” McCarthy said on TV’s “Fox and Friends.” “But I think it goes down easier for the country if it’s kind of like a clemency package where the Biden-Harris Justice Department dismisses the two cases against former President Donald Trump, President-elect Trump, because they can’t be prosecuted at this point anyhow. He will be the sitting president of the United States. Then Biden pardons Hunter.” “I think the signal that sends, hopefully, to these progressive prosecutors at the state level is that, you know, it’s time to ‘turn the page’ from lawfare, which proved to be a disaster for the Democrats, I think, in the election,” McCarthy said. “Fox and Friends” co-host Steve Doocy said Biden pardoning Trump could make a pardon of Hunter Biden “more palatable” for the country. “The other thing that is important here in dismissing the case, so you dismiss it at the Justice Department level, rather than having to pardon the incoming president, which is almost like an admission of guilt that Trump doesn’t want to make,” McCarthy said. “If they dismiss it, and it’s the Biden-Harris Justice Department that dismisses it, I think the judge goes along with it more easily. Whereas if Trump’s Justice Department has to dismiss the case, they may get pushback from Judge [Tanya] Chutkan.” Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. A United Nations (UN) committee has adopted two resolutions, one of them aimed at the World Organization’s Department of Global Communications establishing and strengthening “partnerships with new and traditional media to address hate speech narratives.” The Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization) also adopted a resolution further promoting the UN’s “Our Common Agenda” plan, which, among other points, proposes bank account-linked digital ID – as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UN Pact for the Future, and Global Digital Compact – also pushing for digital IDs, censorship, and surveillance, with major countries as the schemes’ key backers. Ahead of the adoption of the documents, representatives of a number of countries spoke in favor of expanded censorship under the UN umbrella, with Italy’s delegate advocating for the use of AI in combating “misinformation and disinformation.” UK’s representative reiterated the country’s commitment to the UN Pact for the Future and Global Digital Compact, highlighted the far-reaching censorship law, Online Safety Act, and noted that it forces companies “to remove illegal online content, including illegal mis and disinformation generated by AI.” Another thing the UK remains committed to, the address revealed, is digging its heels in when it comes to characterizing “misinformation” as a major threat. The EU essentially co-signed all that, singling out, as it does, Russian disinformation, with El Salvador, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Malaysia also expressing their deep concern over “disinformation” of various types, and calling for the UN to work more on countering it. Pakistan’s delegate remarked that Big Tech (Meta, Google) should be “collaborated” with, and warned they should not put profit before the need to join “the war on disinformation.” As for individuals accused of spreading disinformation, Pakistan proposes to make use of the UN’s Global Principles for Information Integrity, designed to promote not only fighting “misinformation” and “hate speech,” but also censoring and demonetizing content algorithmically. However, a meeting before the adoption of the texts also heard some dissenting voices, notably that of Argentina. The country’s representative was concerned that the term “hate speech” can be abused by those wishing to stifle “pluralistic debate.” According to a UN press release, this delegate “dissociated himself” from those paragraphs in the documents that refer to “hate speech, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Our Common Agenda.” If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net.

Democrats Stare Into the Abyss

Democrats won’t learn lessons from losing the 2024 presidential election, or at least Sunny Hostin won’t. As the staunchly racist co-host ABC’s The View, Hostin’s rage flared during Thursday’s episode as she lashed at Latino voters for supporting President-elect Trump. She repeatedly insisted that they only supported Trump because of their “misogyny and sexism.” She also suggested those worried about the economy didn’t know what they were experiencing. Anti-Trump Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin seemed to be finally embracing her new role as the one to explain Republican voters to the rest of them. She implored the cast and Democrats writ-large to do a postmortem of the Biden-then-Harris campaign to figure out where things went wrong; breaking down the issues that matter to voters and they were deaf to. Despite Republicans being the victors in at all levels of the federal government, Hostin declared that it was Republicans who needed the self-reflection: FARAH GRIFFIN: I think a lot of Democrats missed the moment. They were looking at the micro and not the macro – HOSTIN: Do you think that the Republicans missed the moment? What about a postmortem on the Republican Party, which is the Trump Party right now? FARAH GRIFFIN: Well, they just swept, though. “They won, but they're morally bankrupt!” Hostin shouted in her impotent rage. On the issue of the terrible Biden economy and average Americans being unable to make ends meet, uber-wealthy Hostin insisted those people were too stupid to know what they were experiencing: FARAH GRIFFIN: No one who’s struggling to make ends meet at the table like, ‘how am I going to pay this bill?’ cares what Wharton professors say about the economy. HOSTIN: That’s because they’ve been bombarded with misinformation and disinformation.     When talking about the border, Hostin’s racial resentment really showed. In response to Farah Griffin noting that “Latinos in Texas, a district that's 97 percent Latino went 75 percent for Donald Trump,” Hostin instinctually shouted out “misogyny” like it was a Pavlovian response, and kept doubling down on it: FARAH GRIFFIN: And finally, we talk a lot about these different demographics and these assumptions of how they’re going to go. Latinos in Texas, a district that's 97 percent Latino went 75 percent for Donald Trump. Why?  It’s on – HOSTIN: Misogyny. That’s why. FARAH GRIFFIN: No! It's on the border! HOSTIN: It’s misogyny. FARAH GRIFFIN: The border crisis is on their doorstep! And they were begging people to care about it for years. We need to take some lessons – HOSTIN: Misogyny and sexism, that's what that was. FARAH GRIFFIN: The lessons are not misogyny and sexism. Responding to a clip of Hostin’s comments on X, Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin figured out she was talking about Starr County, TX. “Wow,” he wrote. He then gave the facts: “Starr County voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton in 2016.” As KSAT reported, “In 2016, Starr County voted for Hillary Clinton with a percentage of 79.1 to Donald Trump’s 19%, according to Politico. Joe Biden won 52.1% of Starr County’s vote in 2020, and Trump won 47.1%.”   Wow. Sunny Hostin claims the reason Starr County, TX, a 97% Hispanic county on the border in the RGV, swung 75 points to Trump this election, is due to their “misogyny” and “sexism”. Starr County voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton in 2016. https://t.co/YRluBa0Ptx — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) November 7, 2024   With Trump’s win finally sinking in, co-host Joy Behar was distraught and she denounced America. “We lost the Senate, the Supreme Court, the executive branch, the House is on the verge of going to him. It's pathetic! There are no checks and balances!” she whined. “A completely intelligent qualified woman lost to a guy who's simulating sex with a microphone. I mean, come on, America!” Behar suggested she was feeling more depressed about it now that her “Valium” had worn off. Continuing the bashing of America, Hostin lamented that “this country missed out on [Harris’s] leadership.” “This country missed out on the leadership of moving forward, not going back, the leadership of someone that was trying to unify this country in a way that I think this country really needs...” she said. Despite Harris losing in a humiliating fashion, Hostin laughably boasted that “she certainly met the moments” and “exhibited a grace towards [Trump] that he didn't deserve.” The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: ABC’s The View November 7, 2024 11:05:28 a.m. Eastern (…) JOY BEHAR: I'd like to be positive, but today I don't feel -- yesterday I felt better. Maybe it was the Valium. [Laughter] But today, I feel like – We lost the Senate, the Supreme Court, the executive branch, the House is on the verge of going to him. It's pathetic! There are no checks and balances! A completely intelligent qualified woman lost to a guy who's simulating sex with a microphone. I mean, come on, America! [Applause] SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah. I know. You know, I feel that – I was saddened when I saw her, primarily because this is the kind of leadership we could have had. And that's what I felt walking away from it, like this country missed out on that type of leadership. This country missed out on the leadership of moving forward, not going back, the leadership of someone that was trying to unify this country in a way that I think this country really needs and it's just going to become more divisive under someone like Donald Trump. So, while I think she certainly met the moments, and she was graceful, a grace – She exhibited a grace towards him that he didn't deserve. (…) 11:07:31 a.m. eastern ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: I do think that in this postmortem that needs to happen with Democrats, they need to think about why wasn’t she given more lead time, why didn't Biden give her six months or a year to run? But there’s bigger pictures.  That’s a micro; there are some macro issues here. The fact that the nation elected somebody like Donald Trump who -- even people who voted for him – I talk to so many of these people who will say, ‘I don't like him, I don't like the things he says, but I felt like my life was better under him.’ I think that we – I think a lot of Democrats missed the moment. They were looking at the micro and not the macro – HOSTIN: Do you think that the Republicans missed the moment? What about a postmortem on the Republican Party, which is the Trump Party right now? BEHAR: I was just about to say that. FARAH GRIFFIN: Well, they just swept, though. I've been talking about what I'd like to see from the Republican Party. HOSTIN: They won, but they're morally bankrupt! FARAH GRIFFIN: But America just gave them – So let me just make my point here. So, you have people talking about, ‘well, how did she win Michigan?’ Cause Democrats are saying, ‘she should have talked more about Gaza.’ No, union halls were empty. Dearborn went for Donald Trump. This is not about a micro issue like Gaza, it’s people saying, ‘the cost of living is too high, the wages are too low, my life felt better under him.’ And I know what we’ll say, ‘Goldman Sachs says the economy will do better under her. The analysts at UPenn and Wharton –’ BEHAR: We’ll see. FARAH GRIFFIN: No one who’s struggling to make ends meet at the table like, ‘how am I going to pay this bill?’ cares what Wharton professors say about the economy. HOSTIN: That’s because they’ve been bombarded with misinformation and disinformation. [Crosstalk] FARAH GRIFFIN: But – Just one more thing, I want to say. This issue of abortion, which I hope we can unpack more. There are a lot of women who cared about abortion, but they were in states like Pennsylvania where they don't have an ultra-restrictive abortion law. They were voting more because pocketbook issues matter more than if a woman in Alabama is able to get an abortion. HOSTIN: But they’re going to do worse under a Trump administration! The only people that are going to do well are the millionaires and the billionaires. FARAH GRIFFIN: And finally, we talk a lot about these different demographics and these assumptions of how they’re going to go. Latinos in Texas, a district that's 97 percent Latino went 75 percent for Donald Trump. Why?  It’s on – HOSTIN: Misogyny. That’s why. FARAH GRIFFIN: No! It's on the border! HOSTIN: It’s misogyny. FARAH GRIFFIN: The border crisis is on their doorstep! And they were begging people to care about it for years. We need to take some lessons – HOSTIN: Misogyny and sexism, that's what that was. FARAH GRIFFIN: The lessons are not misogyny and sexism. WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Knock, knock. Who’s there? Oh my gosh, it’s Whoopi! (…)
