The release is part of a campaign by the Trump regime to convince skeptical Americans that the child sex offender really did kill himself. But the video is only creating more conspiracy theories because there appears to be about one minute missing. The video released by DOJ, from inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center, begins at 7:30 p.m. on August 9

10% Home Depot Promo Codes & Coupons | July 2025

Home Depot goes hard. The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools.

A small county in Georgia may be facing a “killer bee” invasion. The Africanized bee is the common honeybee’s aggressive, lethal cousin. They look just like honeybees, but this hybrid between European and African honeybees is infamous among beekeepers for ganging up and attacking intruders—bee or human—earning them the nickname “killer bee.” Africanized bees arrived on U.S. soil in the 1990s and have since been spotted across parts of the southern U.S. But this latest sighting of so-called kil
