HELSINKI (AP) — The World War II mystery of what happened to a Finnish passenger plane after it was shot down over the Baltic Sea by Soviet bombers appears to finally be solved more than eight decades later.

The plane was carrying American and French diplomatic couriers in June 1940 when it was downed just days before Moscow annexed the Baltic states. All nine people on board the plane were killed, including the two-member Finnish crew and the seven passengers — an American diplomat, two French, two Germans, a Swede and a dual Estonian-Finnish national.

A diving and salvage team in Estonia said this week that it had located well-preserved parts and debris from the Junkers Ju 52 plane operated by Finnish airline Aero, which is now Finnair. It was found off the tiny island of Keri near Estonia’s capital, Tallinn, at a depth of around 70 meters (230 feet).

A thousand days have passed since girls in Afghanistan were banned from attending secondary schools, according to the U.N. children’s agency, which said Thursday that “no country can move forward when half its population is left behind.”

UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell in a statement urged Taliban authorities to allow all children to resume learning immediately, and called on the international community to support Afghan girls, who she said need it more than ever. The agency estimates that more than 1 million girls are affected.

The U.N. has warned that the ban on girls’ education remains the Taliban’s biggest obstacle to gaining recognition as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan.

For those not yet in the know, here’s a quick recap: Furlow-Smiles held prominent DEI roles at Nike and Facebook (now Meta) and was allegedly in the running for a role at Pixar before news broke that she’d been accused of stealing $5 million to fund a high-priced luxury lifestyle. In May, a judge sentenced her to five years in prison and ordered her to return the stolen funds.

At first glance, this seems like any other white-collar scheme. But in a deeply riveting and colorfully written feature, my colleague Lila MacLellan uncovers the humanity behind the crime and explores what led someone who, by many accounts, seemed to live comfortably—and made her name in a field that’s perceived as more values-driven and moralistic than others—to steal millions of dollars earmarked for underrepresented people.

Elon Musk’s brain-implant startup Neuralink Corp. forced an employee to work with monkeys that carried the Herpes B virus in conditions in which the animals scratched her bare skin, according to a complaint filed Friday in state court in California.

The employee, Lindsay Short, said that once she transferred to the company’s Fremont, California, site in August 2022, she encountered “a work environment fraught with blame, shame, and impossible deadlines.” She said she was later fired after telling her supervisors that she was pregnant.

Short sued the company for retaliation, wrongful termination and discrimination based on her gender among other issues.

Neuralink didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the suit.

A family of six, including three children, were killed Friday by gunmen in the southern Mexico border state of Chiapas in a town marred by cartel-backed militia violence.

Julio Pérez, the mayor of the Chiapas town of Pantelho, said the killings happened there Friday, and called it “a massacre.” Two warring militia groups suspected of being backed by drug cartels have been battling for control of the town.

In a brief statement, the state prosecutor’s office said three suspects were arrested but neither the victims nor the detainees have been identified.

It was the latest in a string of mass killings in which hitmen have wiped out entire families in Mexico.

On Sunday, gunmen burst into a home in the north-central state of Guanajuato and killed four women and two children.

An Arizona man who planned to commit a mass shooting at an Atlanta rap concert as a way of inciting a “race war” has been indicted by a federal grand jury on hate crime and firearm charges.

The man, Mark Adams Prieto, hatched a plan in several discussions with two people working with the F.B.I. who posed as racist extremists to carry out a mass shooting targeting Black people and other people of color at a concert in Atlanta on May 14 and May 15, the Justice Department said on Tuesday.

Mr. Prieto intended for the shooting to incite a “race war” before the presidential election, prosecutors said in a news release.

Mr. Prieto, 58, was reported to the authorities last year by an acquaintance who said he had made concerning comments calling for mass shootings targeting Black people and others, according to officials.

If you have things like truth, facts, and logic on your side then letting someone speak who disagrees with you should be no problem. But the rainbow mob only has lies and ad hominem attacks on their side, which is why they freak out the moment someone contradicts their truth.

A school district in Manhattan was holding a meeting to discuss a measure that requires schools to hold a public hearing over their policy about trans sports.

According to The Daily Mail:

Since the measure was passed, trans advocates have shown up at each school board meeting to protest even discussing the possibility of moving forward with the review, which is what happened Wednesday night when anyone with an opposing view attempted to speak.

One video of the bizarre humming and howling performance given by the trans advocates – many of whom were in matching jeans and white t-shirts – showed that the woman whose voice they were drowning out is Amaya Perez, a black, bisexual woman who leads the NYC chapter of Gays Against Groomers.

An illegal alien killed Kate Steinle during the Obama presidency. Then, Laken Riley fell victim to the same criminal scum who illegally entered the United States. There are dozens more victims of illegal aliens who have come here to rape, murder, steal, and run amok in our streets. These aren’t asylum seekers, though that process has also been manipulated. In Harford County, Maryland, we have a new name to add to this tragic list: Rachel Morin, a mother of five, who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien from El Salvador (via Baltimore Sun):

A suspect in the killing of Bel Air mother Rachel Morin is in custody in Tulsa, Oklahoma, pending extradition to Maryland, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said at a news conference Saturday.

“Rachel’s murderer is no longer a free man and, hopefully, he will never have the opportunity to walk free again,” Gahler said.

Tulsa Police and federal authorities found Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23, on Friday night and took him into custody for allegedly trespassing, Gahler said. The El Salvador native is being held without bond at a Tulsa County jail, accused of being a fugitive from justice, along with a hold from Maryland to face charges in Morin’s homicide and a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Martinez-Hernandez is charged with first-degree murder and first-degree rape in Morin’s death.

The number of Kenyans relocating to the US grew at the fastest pace in a decade in 2022, signalling growing opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled labour in the world’s largest economy.

Data from the American liberal think-tank Migration Policy Institute (MPI) indicates that Kenyan immigrants to the US in 2022 stood at 168,915, a 9.6 percent jump from the 154,062 recorded in 2021 when global economies were recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The jump was the highest since the 15.9 percent recorded in 2011 when the number stood at 102,561 up from the 88,519 that had relocated in 2010.

The drift also comes as a result of a shrinking job market in the local economy, which has compelled labour providers to seek openings abroad.

CLEMSON, S.C., June 17, 2024 — It’s a one-two punch for students’ ability to speak out. Another leading South Carolina university has earned the top rating for free speech from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

Clemson University is one of only two schools in South Carolina, and one of only 67 nationwide, that earns a “green light” rating from FIRE. Green light ratings are reserved for institutions with no written policies that seriously imperil student free speech rights.

“We are proud to be recognized by FIRE for our commitment to freedom of expression, individual rights and meaningful dialogue here at Clemson University,” said Clemson President Jim Clements. “Our dedication to ensuring our students, and all of our Tigers, have freedom of expression is a part of who we are and represents our University values and our culture.”

Biden Plays Chess, Trump Plays ‘Hungry Hungry Hippos’– www.newsbusters.org

Can you imagine Joe Biden playing chess? Could he beat, say, an average seventh-grader? C’mon, man: I’m serious! Not a joke!

But on MSNBC’s Saturday edition of The Weekend, co-anchor Alicia Menendez claimed that whereas Biden is playing chess, Donald Trump is — at best — playing Hungry Hungry Hippos [billed as a game for “preschoolers.”] The daughter of Sen. Bob “Gold Bars” Menendez should describe what game he was playing. She’s not in the right place to swagger.

Co-host Symone Sanders Townsend chimed in to suggest that the better game analogy for Trump might be the card game Uno.

The comments came in the context of Biden’s participation in various recent events, including the G7 summit. Sanders-Townsend suggested that Biden’s performance counters any notion that he might be “a little too old.”

Whuh? Surely Sanders and the rest of the panel have seen this video from the G7 of a dazed and confused Biden doddering away until Italian PM Giorgia Meloni gently rescues him.

Hunter Biden to drop lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani– www.aol.com

Excerpt from www.aol.com

Hunter Biden is agreeing to drop a civil lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani and Giuliani’s former lawyer Robert Costello, according to a court filing Thursday.

The president’s son last year formally accused Giuliani and Costello of violating computer fraud and data access laws, alleging they manipulated data from his “devices or storage platforms.”

Attorneys for all three parties filed the agreement, which stipulates that Biden agrees to drop the lawsuit and that each man will pay his own legal fees.

The lawsuit initially sought more than $75,000 in damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and other penalties.

“As Giuliani is in bankruptcy and agreed to have the case waiting for when he is done, it made no sense to continue it in a non-bankruptcy court until that happens,” a person familiar with the filing told NBC News on Thursday.

Some of the protesters, who had reportedly come from a nearby encampment, sat in chairs chained to columns at the base of the building.

Since Los Angeles County has a progressive prosecutor who does not like to prosecute, brazen crimes are becoming increasingly frequent. Murdered General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor fell victim to the culture of criminality that District Attorney George Gascón condones.

More than 200 protestors rallied in Downtown Los Angeles near the scene of the crime where Wactor was murdered to call for safer streets as well as to put pressure on officials to prosecute the suspect in the case.

According to KTLA:

A march demanding justice was held on Wednesday in honor of slain “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor, who was shot and killed while trying to stop catalytic converter thieves last month.

The suspects were in the process of stealing Wactor’s vehicle’s catalytic converter when “without provocation, [he] was shot by one of the individuals,” LAPD added.

Friends and family of the late actor, who was known for his role as Brando Corbin in the popular soap opera “General Hospital” and appeared in “Westworld” and “Criminal Minds,” held a rally in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday morning and marched towards city hall, calling for local leaders to take action against the violence.

Kevin Spacey is back on the screen in his first lead role since sexual assault allegations derailed his career — and director Michael Zaiko Hall has no qualms about the casting decision.

The two-time Academy Award winner was tapped to portray the titular character in the indie thriller “Peter Five Eight,” which is currently available for purchase on demand.

“Of course, this is a controversial choice, if you will,” Hall told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Friday. “We were very cognizant about what we were embarking on by bringing this to Kevin, but we knew it would be in the interest of the film. The film would be far more compelling with Kevin as Peter.”

Last Friday, my colleague Stephanie Mencimer had the distinct honor—or misfortune—of witnessing Rudy Giuliani’s apparent attempt to convince the Christian right to help him amid his dire financial troubles. That effort saw Giuliani airing crude, conspiratorial rhetoric before the faithful which at one point, saw Giuliani calling Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney in Donald Trump’s Georgia case, a “ho.”

Now Willis is responding, condemning the conservative critics who have relentlessly targeted her since she took on Trump’s Georgia election interference case. While speaking to leaders of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Georgia, Willis appeared to single out the former New York City mayor’s denigrating remarks. She declined to call out Giuliani by name, but the subject of her remarks was evident.
