A 30-year-old Black man who regularly danced in the Times Square transit hub was killed on Monday by a rider who put him in a chokehold on the New York City subway.

The confrontation took place as an F train traveling north reached the Broadway-Lafayette station in SoHo. Witnesses say Jordan Neely, recognizable to some New Yorkers as a Michael Jackson impersonator, was behaving erratically at the time. Video footage captured by Juan Alberto Vazquez, a freelance journalist, and shared on Facebook, showed Neely kicking as he was held down by passengers.

The man who pinned down Neely has not been identified but has been described in local reports as a 24-year-old former US marine. The man held Neely in a chokehold with his legs wrapped around his body; Neely lost consciousness during the struggle and later died in the hospital.

Neely died from compression of the neck, the city’s medical examiner determined on Wednesday, classifying his death as a homicide. The office noted that any determination about criminal culpability would be left to the legal system.

As news of Neely’s death spread online, video of the encounter evoked strong reactions from New Yorkers and officials. Some described the act as a lethal overreaction to a person in the throes of mental illness and others defended the marine veteran’s actions.

So, apparently over in England last week, a guy threw a bunch of shot gun shells, over the fence, at Buckingham palace, and threatened to kill the king. Obviously, they have arrested him and taken him into custody, he is easily going to do time.

To Side With Ukraine During Direct Questioning On CNN

Once again this man has shown the world that he is no puppet nor will he be influenced what to do in a corrupt world.
Kudos to this man.

Despite heavy prompting from the host of the town hall show, the former US president refused to side with Ukraine in its conflict against Russia, diplomatically stating that he wants “everybody to stop dying” -

“I don’t think in terms of winning and losing. I think in terms of getting it settled,” he told the New Hampshire audience; “I’ll have that done in 24 hours. You need the power of the presidency to do it,” Trump added.

Up until today, I thought congressman George Santos was just a pathological liar, now I see he's been arrested on Federal charges of fraud and money laundering.

"The 13-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury Tuesday includes seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. If convicted, Santos faces up to 20 years in prison for the most serious charges."

Sounds fun

I sabotage myself

I guess Americans should worry more about Yellowstone. On Russian Federal TV Putin’s national-security advisor. Patrushev, said, “The extinction of all forms of life in North America is inevitable because Yellowstone will blow up, and that’s why the US wants to occupy Russia."


Russia's fright trains are exoeriencing a problem. A decade or so ago Russia replaced most of their old box cars with imported, larger, ones of a new design from Sweden that can carry about 8 tons more than the old ones due to an improved suspension system. The wheels of the new rail cars use specialized cassette type wheel bearings with components made by the firms of Swedish SKF, Timken and Amsted Rail from the USA. The components had been shipped to Russia and assembled there. Every few months those bearings require replacement. Before February 2022 that was not a problem. The Russian National Transport Company (NTC),uses about 200,000 of these improved box cars. When Russia launched it's Special Military Operation sanctions kicked in and all 3 companies ceased ceased doing business with NTC and left Russia. Russia lacks the capability to make their own high tech replacement components for those wheel bearings (although efforts continue). By August of 2022 about 10,000 freight cars were taken out of service due to the lack of bearings and the impossibility of repair, By the end of 2023 it is anticipated more than 100,000 units will be no longer usable and the entire fleet of 200,000 rail cars is at risk.
Story:

Prigozhin, the head of Russia's Wagner Group (a private mercenary army under contract to the Kremlin) is a little upset at the commanding generals or Russia's Army. Something to do with ammunition shortages.
<To avoid upsetting some viewers the more gruesome parts of this video have been blacked out>


Mr. Prigozhin, in a different video he released yesterday (#2 of 3) stated that of the 50,000 Wagner troops he had arrived with and begun the assault of Bakhmut with last August, over 30,000 of them are now dead.

All 3 of his videos yesterday are available for view on JoeBlogs YouTube page. In one of them he has some specific things to say about the Commanding General of Russia's army. words like cowardly faggot, etc. Clearly Prigozhin is one of Putin's fair haired boys as he is still alive tonight.
