I am 42 years old and completely unsupervised for a week. Tonight I am going to grill a ribeye in the rain, drink an unreasonable amount of beer, watch Blackhawk down and remember times from 20 years ago. You may not like it but this is peak male happiness.

We’ve gotta stop this man no one should lose their job over comments they made when they were 15 and you’re a big fat loser if you go out of your way to dig this stuff up.

My husband, @mattvanswol has been locked out of his X account for refusing to delete a post he made this morning.

X locked his account for “abuse and harassment” which of course, he did not do.

In fact, he did the EXACT OPPOSITE and stated how horrible the video was and how awful it was to watch.

How can we “be the news” if we cannot post the news without being forced to delete it?

This is wrong.

People should be allowed to see the content Matt posts, regardless of whether it is hard to watch or not.

Personally, I often find it really difficult to watch some of the content Matt posts because it is so horrible.

And that’s exactly the point.

People need to KNOW things like this are happening… because without people like Matt, so many stories would not be national news and catalysts for change.

@x and @elonmusk please fix this.

Saw a interview where a guy asked a girl if she cared about the Holocaust and she said no. He replied, “you dont care about 7 million jews?” Man, that number keeps climbing ever year. CRAZY.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. A man arrested for k*lling a Pittsburgh PA pediatrician in the middle of the night was out on NO CASH BAIL despite having a lengthy criminal history that included R*PE, s*x assault, assault, robbery and more

Now a former pretrial investigator is filing a complaint to rescind the policy

THIS IS BETRAYAL! Cashless bail needs to be repealed NATIONWIDE.

Prosecutors and judges who keep allowing this to happen should also have to face consequences for the crimes the repeat offenders commit 😡

We do not have to live like this.

THIS is the part that should make people furious.

Dr. Idris Evans dedicated his career to saving critically ill children.

Now he is dead, his wife is critically injured, and their two children have been left traumatized after an attack inside the place they should have been safest—their own home.

Police arrested 32-year-old Elijah Hemingway and charged him with criminal homicide, attempted criminal homicide, aggravated assault and other offenses.

But here’s the part I cannot get past:

Hemingway was reportedly already OUT on non-monetary bail in an unrelated burglary case.

How many times are families supposed to pay the price when someone accused of a crime is released back onto the streets?

Gina Evans was stabbed and STILL managed to get her 8- and 12-year-old children out of that house alive.

Those children escaped physically unharmed—but they lost their father and watched their mother fight for her life.

Dr. Evans spent his life trying to save other people's children.

Who was protecting his?

Pray for Gina and those babies. 🙏🏻💔

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a Black man on PRE-TRIAL RELEASE walked through a FAMILY FESTIVAL punching strangers IN THE FACE...

...including 2 WOMEN, a 15-YEAR OLD BOY... and a DAD HOLDING HIS 1-YEAR-OLD BABY!!!!

...he was released the SAME DAY!!!!!!!!

Yes, he punched a man holding a BABY and he's already back on the streets.

This happened Saturday night in Aurora, Illinois, at the Moon Festival at Pacifica Square.

This is a free family festival, it's been going since 2020.

More than 1,500 people showed up for cultural performances, food, music.

At about 7 p.m., prosecutors say 30-year-old Calvin Jones started HUNTING.

First, they say he walked up to a 15-year-old boy who was walking with his SISTER, and punched him in the mouth, right under his left eye.

For nothing, totally random, the kid did nothing.

Then he walked up to two women and asked them for a cigarette.

They said no.

So he punched them BOTH in the face.

Then, as a man walked past him carrying his ONE-YEAR-OLD CHILD... he punched that father in the face too.

A man holding a BABY.

Aurora police got there and took him down before he hurt anyone else and as they were arresting him, prosecutors say he spit directly into an officer's FACE AND EYE.

He's charged with 3 felony counts of aggravated battery in a public place, plus a felony for spitting on that officer.

...and then Illinois let him walk out the door.

Under the SAFE-T Act, those charges are NON-DETAINABLE. He was released with "conditions."

Don't talk to the victims.
Don't go back to the mall.

That's it. That's the whole thing.

BUT IT GETS WORSE.

Calvin Jones was ALREADY out on pretrial release... for a burglary case in DeKalb County.

He was already in the system. Already out.

And prosecutors say he used that freedom to go punch a teenager and a father holding an infant.

His next court date is October 13th.

Until then, he's out there... and you know there will be more vicitms.

🚨#BREAKING: It has been revealed that THE JUDGE who gave a Black woman only 30 DAYS in prison for running a RED LIGHT, hitting a 25yr old White man, and DRIVING AWAY while he DIED ON THE STREET...

...is a BLACK MALE DEMOCRAT, Reggie McKnight, who was appointed by ROY COOPER and served on the "Special Committee on Diversity" for Charlotte NC Bar.

The 25 year old's name was Lance Sotelo.

Lance grew up in Dalton, Georgia, and was a cross-country MVP in high school.

He came to Queens University of Charlotte NC and ran cross country and track and field for SIX YEARS.

On January 14th, Lance was doing the thing he loved most, he was out for a run in Charlotte NC

At 5:47 in the evening, police say 28-year-old Q'Laundra Hood was ran a red light and she hit him, hard.

...and then she drove away.

She left him in the road and kept going.

Lance Sotelo died right there on the streets of Charlotte.
He never even made it to a hospital.

He didn't have life insurance, his family had to start a GoFundMe just to bury their son.

Hood turned herself in and pleaded guilty to felony hit-and-run and involuntary manslaughter.

And on Tuesday, a courtroom packed with Lance's family and friends watched the judge hand down the sentence.

30 days in jail and probation.

Thirty days and $765 restitution... which didn't even cover the funeral costs, by the way.

The family had to start a GO FUND ME just to pay for his funeral.

Hey @NYPDTransit , some guy was threatening to kill people on the 5 train I rode today. When I got off at 125th to report it to these cops, they told me not to bother them and call 911. What are these people being paid to do? Sit on their phones? @NYPDPC
