The coffin of Khamenei’s 14 MONTH OLD granddaughter.

She was burned alive in an American strike on February 28th.

She died alone, in a separate room, playing with toys.

This is another example of the folly of expanding the World Cup. Paraguay, who came second-bottom of their group and were let off the hook by a scandalous VAR vs Germany, have no real right being in this knockout tie and are resorting to thuggery and snide tricks.

WATCH | A video circulating online shows a ZRP officer being whipped by a man believed to be a mushikashika driver. While the events leading up to the confrontation remain unclear, it appears that the officer was attempting to apprehend the driver. The driver resisted the arrest and responded violently, resulting in the altercation captured on video.

In July 1969, 20-year-old vault teller Theodore “Ted” Conrad walked out of Cleveland’s Society National Bank carrying $215,000 hidden inside a paper bag. Heavily obsessed with the 1968 Steve McQueen film 'The Thomas Crown Affair', Conrad had watched the movie over a dozen times, mirroring the main character's taste for sports cars and high-end liquor, and frequently joking with friends about how easy it would be to rob the bank.

Because he pulled off the theft at closing time on a Friday, the empty vault was not discovered until Monday morning when he failed to report to work. This blunder gave Conrad a crucial two-day head start to flee the state, resulting in what the U.S. Marshals officially classified as one of the largest and most audacious bank robberies in Cleveland history.

With the stolen fortune, worth roughly $1.7 million in modern currency, Conrad completely vanished, severing all ties with his parents and siblings. He eventually settled in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, a suburb ironically located near the filming sites of the very movie that inspired his crime. Adopting a new identity as Thomas Randele, a name heavily believed to be a nod to Steve McQueen's fictional characters, he built a remarkably conventional and law-abiding life.

He spent nearly 40 years working as a local golf professional and luxury car salesman, even appearing in local television commercials. He married, raised a daughter named Ashley, and became a beloved, upstanding member of his community, all while his true face was broadcast across the country on popular true-crime shows like 'America’s Most Wanted' and 'Unsolved Mysteries'.

For over five decades, the perfect crime held, and Conrad's family remained completely oblivious to his past until February 2021, when he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Following a routine chemotherapy session in March while watching a cop show in their living room, he abruptly broke his 52-year silence, confessing to his wife and daughter that his real name was Ted Conrad and that he was a fugitive from justice.

Stunned, Ashley immediately Googled his real name, only to be instantly met with old news clippings of the infamous missing vault teller. Though her father passed away in May 2021 at the age of 71, his secret did not stay buried for long; the U.S. Marshals Service finally closed the cold case just six months later when investigators noticed matching lineage and background data within Thomas Randele's published obituary.

The final breakthrough was deeply personal for law enforcement, as the case was cracked using records gathered by John K. Elliott, a dedicated Deputy U.S. Marshal who had fruitlessly chased Conrad from 1969 until his retirement in 1990. Elliott's son, Pete Elliott, eventually became the top U.S. Marshal in Cleveland and inherited the case, ultimately solving it by cross-referencing his late father's old files with modern documentation, including signatures from a 2014 federal bankruptcy filing by Randele.

Although Conrad had initially asked his family to take his identity to the grave, the rapid police investigation made the story highly public. In response, Ashley Randele launched the true-crime podcast 'My Father, the Fugitive' to process the shocking revelation that her quiet, ordinary suburban dad was actually one of the most elusive and long-running fugitives in American history.

🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says the Ghana government launching an official protest against the Canada government on Thomas Partey visa denial and Warning them to overturn that unfortunate decisions is the right thing to do

"I think the Ghanaian government is absolutely right to stand up for one of its citizens. Whether you agree with Thomas Partey or not, every person deserves fair treatment and due process."

"What I respect is that Ghana didn't stay silent. They reportedly made their position clear and challenged a decision they felt was unfair and damaging."

"Too often African countries are expected to simply accept decisions made elsewhere without asking questions. This time, Ghana decided to ask those questions."

"If a player has not been found guilty in a court of law, then governments and football authorities have to be very careful about the message they send."

"The World Cup is supposed to bring nations together. It should not become a competition where administrative decisions create unnecessary controversy before the football even starts."

"I understand every country has the right to enforce its own laws and immigration policies, but there also has to be consistency, transparency and respect."

"For me, the important thing is that Ghana defended one of its own and made sure its concerns were heard at the highest level. That's exactly what any government should do for its citizens."

"Whether the decision is eventually overturned or not, Ghana sending a strong protest shows that African nations are becoming more confident in defending their people on the global stage, and I think that's something many Africans will support."
