Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death was a suicide with no outside involvement, a Department of Justice report has ruled today after years of rampant conspiracy theories questioning why the notorious, well-connected pedophile was able to take his own life while in custody.
Epstein killed himself in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
He hanged himself using ‘excess’ prison linens which he should never have had.
A Florida double-murderer appeared with the word “killer” written on his own teeth in court Monday, where he proceeded to assault his own lawyer.
Joseph Zieler, 61, beckoned his lawyer, Kevin Shirley, over to speak to him after entering court in handcuffs for a pre-sentencing hearing over the murders of an 11-year-old girl and her babysitter.
An Italian teacher has been described as the country’s worst employee after she avoided work for 20 years and when she did turn up at school she ignored pupils and sent text messages, made up lessons on the hoof and had to borrow textbooks from children.
Cinzia Paolina De Lio used sick leave, holiday time and permits to attend conferences to avoid lessons and has been described by the supreme court as “permanently and absolutely unsuitable” for the job.
This past week, a seemingly innocuous TikTok featuring a young woman preparing kielbasa sausage and mac-n-cheese for her family went viral, racking up millions of views across multiple social media platforms.
“Watch out, baby,” the fair-skinned, raven-haired woman warns as her toddler reaches toward the stove in her family’s modest kitchen. “Dinner [in] the trailer park as a 22 year old mom of 4,” the video’s inner caption reads.

A 19-year-old San Francisco man has been charged in the death of a popular baker who was dragged by a getaway car chasing after armed robbers — and the woke activist’s family has urged authorities not to jail her two assailants because it goes against her social justice beliefs.
The CEO of United Talent Agency blasted Meghan Markle as untalented after Spotify put the kibosh on the Duchess of Sussex’s podcast.
“Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent,” Jeremy Zimmer told Semafor at the 2023 Cannes Lions advertising festival last week.
Mamma Mia!
Historic Big Apple pizza joints could be forced to dish out mounds of dough under a proposed city edict targeting pollutant-spewing coal-and-wood-fired ovens, The Post has learned.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has drafted new rules that would order eateries using the decades-old baking method to slice carbon emissions by up to 75%.
Disney’s Star Wars has cast its first transgender actor in a major role, hiring British male-to-female YouTube personality Abigail Thorn for the role in the upcoming Disney+ series The Acolyte, according to multiple reports.
Apparently the franchise is already in the dumpster so I guess this makes sense in a fiddle while it burns kinda way.
Canada has for years forked over billions of dollars in subsidies to oil and gas companies — an approach that critics say flies in the face of the country’s climate goals, and impinges on efforts to turn toward renewable energy sources.
Now, the federal government is preparing to release a new policy that will put an end to “inefficient fossil fuel subsidies,” a commitment Canada made more than a decade ago.
A spokesperson for Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said the new policy will be released in July.
Because wind and sun are so reliable and need no subsidy.
Members of the Sikh community in Surrey believe that Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the president of a local temple, was killed because of his political views.
On Sunday, after riddling a car with bullets in a parking lot, two masked, heavyset men made a run for it and jumped into a getaway vehicle near a Sikh temple in Surrey, British Columbia, the police said.
The victim, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, was a prominent Sikh community leader and president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, a temple where he was shot. He advocated the creation of Khalistan, an independent Sikh nation carved out of areas including the Indian state of Punjab.
A long-suppressed expert report settles the argument
After years of lawfare, a smoking gun report on US election machinery has come to light – and it shreds the supposed security of electronic voting machines in the 2020 election. The report says the system’s flaws would allow vote switching and the alteration of election results ‘without detection’.
The report’s author says wryly it’s not even hard to do: ‘No grand conspiracies would be necessary to commit large-scale fraud, but rather only moderate technical skills….’ And while the report focuses on Georgia, it notes that the same unsafe equipment was used in 15 other states in the 2020 election, including swing states such as Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Getting some jobs requires a more elite level of talent than others. For example, it appears that a post as an op-ed contributor to USA Today these days demands a talent for awfulness that would far exceed the grasp of most Americans. Witness left-wing columnist Mike Freeman, whose job description is “Race and Inequality Editor-Sports.” His column entitled “Ron DeSantis pushes racist tropes in latest comments about basketball and baseball players” must be read to be believed. For a symptom of how much partisan dreck this column is, Freeman asserts that “DeSantis is one of the most prominent anti-Black politicians alive,” citing with a straight face the ridiculous NAACP “travel advisory” against Florida and linking to an article quoting notorious bigot Al Sharpton.
A transgender murderer of a lesbian couple has just been sent to a women-only jail.
In 2016, Dana Rivers, a once-feted campaigner for ‘trans rights’, brutally murdered a middle-aged lesbian couple and their teenage son in Oakland, California. Last week, after years in custody and countless legal delays, Rivers (formerly known as David Chester Warfield) was finally sentenced to life without parole. And then came a particularly grim twist. This male killer of two women was sent to a women-only prison to live out his days.
