Before


After


Make your own mind up which is better, Before or After, it's easy for these Wetback reporters to spout their mouths off at the injustice of locking these gang members up, but what's the alternative, to let them loose so they can go back to their violent ways again?, some alternative that is isn't it?.
I've found out over the years that Lefty Wetbacks don't have the answer to anything, all they do is wring their hands together and shed crocodile tears, they can't even solve the problems with the UK crime wave and that's a lot less than what was happening here in El Salvador.

Australian politician changes his name to 'Aussie Trump'

An Australian politician has legally changed his name to Austin Trump in a move inspired by Donald Trump - in what he said was a protest against the country's ruling centre-left Labor Party.

Ben Dawkins - who is an independent MP in Western Australia's upper house of parliament where Labor holds a majority - is now listed as "Aussie Trump" on the WA parliamentary website.

He has also changed his username to "Hon. Aussie Trump MLC" on his X account.

"I've launched a political protest against the tyranny and systematic corruption of the Labor government in WA," he wrote, in a post on the social media platform, signing off as "Aussie".

"Vote Labor Out! & Drill Baby Drill!," he wrote in a second post, appearing to echo the US president's plan to increase the extraction of oil and gas in the United States.


He also posted a photo showing legal confirmation of the name change from Western Australia's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

"I want to be like Trump in the sense of calling out woke leftist nonsense," he told 9News.

"I would love you to reach out Donald, just ring the office here."

"This is simply attention-seeking stuff," said Western Australia's Premier Roger Cook, the state's Labor leader, at a news conference on Thursday.

"I'm not sure how much lower he can go."

Western Australia state elections are due to take place in March, before the country goes to the polls in a nationwide vote that must be held before 17 May.

Nationwide power outage in Sri Lanka blamed on a monkey

A monkey has been blamed for causing a nationwide blackout in Sri Lanka.

The island nation's 22 million residents were mostly left without power during the outage, which began around 11am local time (5.30am GMT) on Sunday.

The country's energy minister, Kumara Jayakody, told reporters that the blackout was caused when a monkey came into contact with a grid transformer near the island's executive and judicial capital, Colombo.

"A monkey has come in contact with our grid transformer, causing an imbalance in the system," Mr Jayakody said following the blackout.

"Engineers are attending to it to try and restore the service as soon as possible," he added.


Power was returned to some areas within hours, but many households were without electricity until late on Sunday.

Sri Lanka has suffered issues with its electrical system before. In 2022 it experienced widespread blackouts and electricity rationing during an economic crisis.

"Only in Sri Lanka can a group of monkeys fighting inside a power station cause an islandwide power outage," Jamila Husain, editor-in-chief of local newspaper the Daily Mirror, wrote on X.


The paper said engineers had been warning consecutive governments to upgrade the system or face frequent blackouts "for years".

"The national power grid is in such a weakened state that frequent islandwide power outages may be expected if there is a disturbance even in one of our lines," a source told the outlet.

Man who lost £600m Bitcoin fortune considers buying landfill site to search for it

A man who believes he accidentally lost a Bitcoin fortune in a council rubbish tip is exploring the possibility of buying the landfill site before it is shut.

James Howells, from Newport in South Wales, claimed his ex-girlfriend mistakenly threw out a hard drive containing thousands of Bitcoins in 2013.

According to the 39-year-old IT worker, they are worth more than £600m and he has been trying to recover them ever since.

Now he is considering buying the site so he can hunt for the missing fortune himself, multiple outlets reported on Monday.

Newport City Council is planning to close and cap the site in the 2025-26 financial year, which would almost certainly spell the end of any lingering hopes of recovering them.


Mr Howells said in widely reported comments on Monday it had been "quite a surprise" to hear of the council's closure plan.

Last month a judge dismissed a legal case he brought to force the council to allow him to search the landfill site, or award him £495m in compensation.

He said the council had claimed in court that closing the landfill to allow him to search "would have a huge detrimental impact on the people of Newport, whilst at the same time they were planning to close the landfill anyway.

"I expected it would be closed in the coming years because it's 80-90% full - but didn't expect its closure so soon.


"If Newport City Council would be willing, I would potentially be interested in purchasing the landfill site 'as is' and have discussed this option with investment partners and it is something that is very much on the table."

Doctor Who 'faces the axe while Time Lord Ncuti Gatwa is on the verge of quitting amid a drop in ratings over fan fury at woke storylines'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...torylines.html

I won't be surprised if Dr Who bites the dust sometime in the near future, the show started to decline in the Capaldi years and it started to blow a gasket when Jodie Whittaker took the reins. The Dr Who series and its ratings must be going down the pan if the powers that be are considering wielding the axe with it, the latest currant at the helm isn't pulling any trees up either. You were good once Dr, but these modern Woke idiots are too involved with Reality shows to tune in to Dr Who these days.

104 year-old woman granted birthday wish and taken to New York prison

A care home resident has been taken to the local prison in the state of New York, as part of her 104th birthday wish.

Livingston County Sheriff's Office in Geneseo, about 29 miles (46km) south of Rochester, posted pictures showing Loretta visiting their facility.

"Loretta, who is a resident at the Avon Nursing Home, was asked what she wanted for her birthday and her response was that she wanted to see the inside of our jail because she has never been to jail before," the police department wrote in a post on Facebook.

"Loretta had a great time touring our jail facility and we are so glad that we were able to make her birthday wishes come true!" it added.

Hurlbut Care Communities which operates her care home described some of the activities she enjoyed while in prison on 10 February.

"Loretta enjoyed cake, getting fingerprinted, her mug shot taken, tour of the jail, getting locked in a cell, and got to meet many deputies, including one of their new K-9s!

"Thank you to the Livingston County Sheriff's Office for making Loretta's wish come true!"
The tour came two days after her 104th birthday last week where she celebrated with a party at Avon Nursing Home in the nearby town of Avon.

Photos of her big day were posted on Facebook by her care home, showing her with a big pink birthday cake.

Ice hockey game between USA and Canada has three fights in first nine seconds

A bad-tempered ice hockey game between the United States and Canada on Saturday kicked off with three fights in the first nine seconds.

Even before the 4 Nations Face-Off match started in Montreal, there were tensions among the crowd of more than 21,000 fans at Bell Centre.

Canadian fans showed their displeasure with Team USA, booing during "The Star-Spangled Banner" and as the American players were introduced.

Recent remarks from Donald Trump, that Canada should become a US state along with threats of tariffs, have angered many Canadians.

Fans across Canada have booed the US anthem at NHL and NBA games since the president's comments.

In the end, it was the Americans who came out on top, securing a 3-1 victory over Canada and a spot in the tournament final.

Just after the puck dropped, and two seconds into the game, Matthew Tkachuk of the US squad and Brandon Hagel of Team Canada dropped their gloves and struck out.

Then Brady Tkachuk, brother of Matthew, and Canada's Sam Bennett, a forward who plays for the Florida Panthers, took aim at each other.

In the third brawl, New York Rangers forward J T Miller and Colton Parayko, a Canadian who's an alternate captain for the St Louis Blues, exchanged blows.

Snow village in China apologises for using fake snow during unusually warm weather

A tourist village in China known for its snowy landscapes has apologised for using cotton wool and soapy water to make fake snow during unexpected warmer weather.

Chengdu, the capital city of the Chinese province of Sichuan, experienced unusually warm weather during the Lunar New Year holiday at the end of January, meaning snow did not form as tourists may have hoped in its snow village.

The Chengdu Snow Village project attempted to replicate its typical winters with the artificial snow, posting photos on social media which tourists called misleading.

Photos online showed large cotton wool sheets strewn about the grounds and on top of houses, but the village did not disclose it wasn't real snow - though many on social media noticed it.

"A snow village without snow," said one user.

In a statement on the Chinese social media app Wechat, the village said it "deeply apologises" and offered visitors a refund.

"In order to create a 'snowy' atmosphere the tourist village purchased cotton for the snow...but it did not achieve the expected effect, leaving a very bad impression on tourists who came to visit," the Chengdu Snow Village project said in the statement.

The tourist area is believed to have now been cleared of the synthetic snow.

China is facing hotter and longer heat waves and more frequent and unpredictable heavy rain as a result of climate change, the country's weather bureau has warned.

Female prankster pretending to be marshal sends Glasgow runners on 2.5km detour during race

Runners at a 10k trail race in Glasgow were sent in the wrong direction by a prankster pretending to be a marshal and who buried arrow signs marking the course.

Acorn Trails said about 30 of the 115 participants at the event on Sunday were sent on a 2.5km (1.5 mile) detour by the woman.

Organisers Alex Osborne and Michelle Sinsheimer told Sky News it is "hard to laugh off the incident" as the prank led the runners away from medical help had it been needed.

Mr Osborne said: "It's hard to laugh off the incident when you consider the possible implications had things not panned out as lightly as they did.

"There's a fine line between it being a humorous prank and an incident had one of the runners, not all of whom were local, got more lost when their warm clothing, refreshments and first aid were at the finish line.

"I'd ask the saboteur, who we were told is female, to consider the above, which I'd like to think they hadn't thought of on Sunday."

The competitors affected by the "mischievous" interference have been offered a 50% discount on their entry to the next event.

Mysterious QR code stickers appear on more than 1,000 graves in Munich

More than 1,000 stickers were put on gravestones and wooden crosses at three cemeteries in the southern German city of Munich.

The stickers, which have been put on both old and recent graves, have a QR code that when scanned shows the name of the person buried and the location of their grave in the cemetery.

The 5x3.5-centimeter (1.95x1.2-inch) stickers surfaced in recent days at the Waldfriedhof, Sendlinger Friedhof and Friedhof Solln cemeteries.

Police are investigating the incident.

"We haven't found any pattern behind this yet. The stickers were put both on decades-old gravestones and very new graves that so far only have a wooden cross," police spokesperson Christian Drexler said.

"People who have witnessed anybody putting the stickers on the graves are asked to reach out to the respective cemetery's administration," Mr Drexler said.

White House responds to speculation over large bruise on Donald Trump's hand

A large bruise that appeared on Donald Trump's hand is down to him shaking a lot of hands, the White House has said.

Mr Trump's right hand seemed bruised during the 78-year-old's meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday, prompting speculation on social media over his health.

Redness or bruising on the US leader's right hand were also spotted in August and November last year, Sky News' US partner network NBC reported.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has claimed the bruising is a result of hand shaking.

"President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history.

"His commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day," Ms Leavitt said.

"President Trump has bruises on his hand because he's constantly working and shaking hands all day every day," she said in a follow-up statement.

People speculated about potential causes for the bruising on social media.

On X, one person suggested Mr Trump was on blood thinners, while another said: "Maybe, but elderly people bruise more easily than younger folks. Trump is 78. He could have gotten that in any number of ways."

One user didn't seem to believe the White House's explanation.

"Why even lie? It's obviously an IV bruise for blood testing or something. Is it a surprise to people that Trump is old and gets regular physician visits?" they said.

In a December interview with NBC News' Meet the Press, Mr Trump said he would release his full medical report, but he has yet to do so.
