    The homeless man who fatally shot three relatives and carjacked two vehicles in a crime spree in New Jersey and Pennsylvania Saturday has been hit with a slew of charges in both states. Andre Gordon Jr., 26, was charged with murder and other crimes in the Keystone State and he was charged with carjacking and weapons offenses in the Garden State after his violent rampage Saturday. Gordon shot and killed his stepmother Karen Gordon, 52, sister Kera Gordon, 13, and the mother of his two kids, Taylor Daniel, officials said.

    It was a nightmare-bnb experience. A UK family had to cancel their dream Spanish vacation just hours before departure after losing more than $5,000 in an elaborate Airbnb “clone” scam. “I felt devastated for my children and my husband,” Emma Last, 48, told PA Real Life of the holiday hornswoggling. “One [of her children] didn’t speak for a day.” The Lancashire resident had planned an eight-night trip to Majorca — one of Spain’s idyllic Balearic Islands — in August 2023 with her husband Zak, 51, Last’s parents and their three children: Scarlette and Henri, both 17, and Xander, 14. The...

    A beloved father of 13 children who saved his family from a house fire started by their landlord was gunned down outside of a Brooklyn brownstone early Sunday morning in an apparent targeted attack. Lavel Fraiser, 40, known by friends as “Flip,” was ambushed and fatally shot in the torso by a group of gunmen who were “waiting for him,” neighbors and police said. Fraiser was found in the backyard of a building at 673 Sterling Place just after 1 a.m., police said. “He got shot outside in front. He staggered in all the way to the back. He was...

    A dual referendum in Ireland on redefining family and women's roles in the constitution has been defeated, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Saturday. The government had supported the proposed changes, which would have widened the definition of the family and clarified out-dated language about the duties of women in society. "I think it's clear at this stage, that the family amendment and the care amendment referendums have been defeated," Varadkar said at a press conference in Dublin.The votes are the latest attempt to reflect the changing face of European Union member Ireland, and the waning influence of the once-dominant...

    James Biden, President Joe Biden’s brother, told the impeachment inquiry on Wednesday that Joe Biden “never had any involvement or any direct or indirect financial interest” in his business ventures. The claim comes as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY), a former bank board member, found in October that a $200,000 check from Americore, which allegedly defrauded Medicare, landed in Joe Biden’s bank account via James Biden. James Biden denied the check was due to a preexisting business relationship. He claimed the money was a return payment for money Joe Biden lent him. Comer then requested the alleged “loan...

    Tony Bobulinski’s attorney, Stefan Passantino, ripped House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) for misrepresenting his client’s testimony before the House impeachment inquiry on Tuesday. Bobulinski’s testimony was significant because he is one of the most knowledgeable and forthcoming former associates of the Bidens. Bobulinski provided House investigators with four key allegations about Joe Biden’s role in the family business:
  • Hunter Biden's associate Eric Schwerin says he was 'not aware' of Joe's role in family business deals but says he provided 'unpaid' financial services to the then-VP and interacted with him 'multiple' times

    Former Biden associate Eric Schwerin told lawmakers that he was 'not aware' of then-Vice President Joe Biden's role in his son's foreign dealings despite meeting with him 'multiple' times and providing financial advice when he worked with Hunter Biden. Schwerin, a close business associate of Hunter's at his investment firm Rosemont Seneca, was brought in Tuesday under a subpoena by Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. He specifically faced questions about the then-Vice President's use of pseudonyms to discuss personal and business activities. Schwerin was included on at least 54 direct emails with Joe between 2009 and 2017,...

    An MSNBC host earned a startled laugh from Jill Biden during a live broadcast as she asked the First Lady about GOP attacks branding them the 'Biden crime family.' During Thursday morning's edition of Morning Joe, host Mika Brzezinski sat down with Biden for an exclusive interview. 'What do you think when you hear Trump Republicans calling you the Biden crime family?' Brzezinski asked, pausing when the 72-year-old awkwardly laughed. 'I have one congresswoman: The Biden crime family sold out America, Marjorie Taylor Greene,' she continued, referencing the Georgia Republican's previous remarks. 'He's a liar. He's mentally incompetent.' Biden shook...

    Coral Springs Talk ^ | 1/12/2024 | Ryan Yousefi
    A woman from Coral Springs was taken into custody following allegations by the police that she abandoned her three children in their apartment unattended. At the same time, she engaged in partying for almost two days.... The eldest child, a 12-year-old, made several attempts to contact her mother during this time, calling her 12 times and sending texts expressing their need for care and food. One of the texts from the child read, “Buenos dias Mami,” followed by messages of concern and confusion about how to feed and take care of her siblings. A few hours later, the child again...

    The rising cost of housing is keeping many Gen Zers from living on their own. A recent Credit Karma survey of 1,249 U.S. adults found that 31 percent of Gen Z live at home with a parent or other family member. And this number could go up. Among Gen Zers that have left the nest, 27 percent told Credit Karma that they can no longer afford their rent. The struggle to make rent is causing some to reconsider their living arrangements, with 25 percent of Gen Z and millennial renters saying they are thinking about moving in with family or...

    For women who have observed the unhappy zero-sum battle of the sexes, many feel that the modern world, for all its promises, has failed them.. Hannah Neeleman, a Utah-based cattle farmer and mother of eight, is perhaps the most popular Instagram “tradwife” — a growing category of social media influencers who reject the not-so-traditional 9-to-5 workforce in favor of homeschooling their children, homemaking, or running a family business. Though her content is entirely wholesome, she (and other tradwife accounts) are not without controversy. In the case of Ballerina Farm, followers recently uncovered that Daniel Neeleman, Hannah’s husband, is the son...

    Richard Baxter (1615–1691), a Puritan minister of the 17th century, penned his thoughts on the covenant of marriage, writing, “It is a mercy to have a faithful friend that loveth you entirely to whom you may open your mind and communicate your affairs. And it is a mercy to have so near a friend to be a helper to your soul and to stir up in you the grace of God.”Unlike Baxter in his time, today, the covenant of marriage is not held in as high regard. Many women remain single longer, seeking independence and pursuing the same career goals...

    A black family living in Los Angeles was horrified to discover their Ford Mustang defaced with a vile racial slur and swastikas over the holidays. Reginald Scott, who has lived in the San Pedro neighborhood for 20 years, told the station KTLA that his sports car was allegedly vandalized sometime between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The unidentified alleged hatemonger used black spray paint to scrawl the words “Merry Christmas -----” in huge letters across the right side of the red Mustang. Swastikas were painted on the car’s bumper and its tires were also slashed.

    White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Republicans must focus on the American family, not President Joe Biden’s family. Jean-Pierre said, “It is so unfortunate that Republicans in Congress want to focus on the president’s family instead of the American family. We want to work with them in a bipartisan way to get things done. We just talked about, leading to your question, we talked about a list of things that I discussed, that we discussed, that we really need to work on for the American family.” She continued, “The president, first day in...

    A man who answered his door was shot and killed by gunmen inside a Northeast Philadelphia townhome while his family members were inside, investigators said. On Thursday shortly before 11:30 p.m., police responded to the Regency Townhomes on the 3500 block of Woodhaven Avenue for several reports of a person with a gun and gunshots.

Henry was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and torso and was pronounced dead at 11:37 p.m. Investigators also found...

    House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said his ancestral ties to slavery do not reflect his work toward a “colorblind society.” A recent examination from Reuters found at least three of Johnson’s direct ancestors were slaveholders. “As has been well-documented, the horrific legacy of slavery touches the ancestry of political leaders across the spectrum, including Presidents Biden and Obama,” Taylor Haulsee, a spokesperson for Johnson, said in a statement to The Hill. “But the actions of people who lived hundreds of years ago do not have any bearing on the Speaker’s lifelong work for a colorblind society.”

    Hunter Biden was indicted Thursday on nine charges — including three felonies — in part for allegedly evading over $1 million in taxes while living a hard-partying “extravagant” life. The three felonies leveled against President Biden’s 53-year-old son — who faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison if convicted on all counts — include one count tax evasion for his 2018 personal taxes and two counts of filing a false return for his 2018 personal taxes and on a corporate income tax return for his company Owasco, PC. He has also been hit with six misdemeanor counts of...

    Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari suggested Friday that red-headed Israeli infant Kfir Bibas; his four-year-old brother, Ariel; and their mother, Shiri may still be alive as hostages in Gaza. The Times of Israel reported that the Bibas mother and children were meant to have been released and handed over to Israel — and that Hamas’s failure to do so helped scuttle a seven-day truce, which Hamas violated Friday morning.

    Thanksgiving is one of our most direct, maybe least commercialized holidays, that focuses on reflection and family and good food. Who we share it with, where, and the day’s menu has changed over the years, but maybe the more that it changes, the more it’s the same.
