Fifty-six years after a Florida milkman vanished after doing his route, the mystery of his murder has been solved, closing one of the oldest cold casesA murderous mystery has finally been solved as fifty-six years after the truth behind a Florida milkman's death has been uncovered. The man failed to return home after his rounds, and now the mystery has been solved, closing the oldest cold case in Indian River County Sheriff’s Office history. Two people who say the suspect confessed to them helped investigators finally understand who killed Hiram “Ross” Grayam, a decorated World War II veteran who...

Wendy Williams’ son, Kevin Hunter Jr., offered more insight into his mother’s frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in ​an interview from the Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams? “[Doctors] basically said that because she was drinking so much, it was starting to affect her headspace and her brain,” Kevin, 23, explained during the Sunday, February 25, episode of the two-part series. “So, I think they said it was alcohol-induced dementia.” Alcohol-related dementia, according to Healthline, is a “type of cognitive impairment that occurs as a result of heavy alcohol consumption over a long period.” Over time, alcohol use can cause brain damage...

A Republican Congressional candidate and Chinese immigrant called out President Joe Biden’s “desperate” move to join TikTok, warning about the “very worrisome” influence of the Chinese Communist Party. Lily Tang Williams, who is running for Congress in New Hampshire’s second district, believes the Biden administration is being naive when it comes to the reach of the CCP, of which she is a former member. **SNIP** But many pointed out Biden’s hypocrisy in taking to the social media platform that is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance considering the administration last year banned the app from being used on federal devices....

Twenty-five years ago, novelist Toni Morrison famously labeled Bill Clinton as “the first Black president.” The first actual Black president, Barack Obama, would come later. But Morrison’s memorable one-liner still gets laughs. It was a smart way to say that Clinton broke new ground by elevating Black leaders and policies that helped Black people. By Morrison’s standard, President Joe Biden is our nation’s third Black president. But Biden’s 2024 campaign is worried about getting Black voters to the polls. Last week, the Biden campaign put $25 million into a radio advertising campaign to pump up enthusiasm among Black and Latino...

Former NFL wide receiver Mike Williams reportedly died on Tuesday at the age of 36. Spectrum News in Buffalo reports that Williams was working at a construction site when he suffered injuries in an accident. Williams, a Buffalo native, attended Syracuse University, and as a true freshman in 2006, he led the team with 461 receiving yards. He was an all-Big East selection the following season, but was suspended for the 2008 season for academic reasons.

It was Friday night in the fall of 1981 at Milton Frank Stadium in Huntsville, Ala. Grissom High School was playing, and I was standing near Coach Stiles on the sidelines. The game was not going our way when Coach suddenly waved his arms in the air and yelled, “Herschel Walker, where are you?!” It was one of those funny/not funny moments. Herschel was a sight to behold in college football back then and won the Heisman trophy the next year. Coach was invoking the name of the greatest running back of the day as a means of wishing he...

The wife of the U.S. attorney who is prosecuting the whistleblower who accused President Joe Biden of corruption, worked as the director of education for the Obama Foundation until November 2020, according to her LinkedIn profile. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams’ wife Jennifer Wynn worked for the Obama Foundation for over three years, and her husband is now prosecuting a whistleblower who alleges Biden and his family have corrupt ties to China’s military, according to a video exclusively obtained by the New York Post. Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft is a crucial witness for Republicans in their Biden family corruption investigation,...

A Connecticut state representative and a wrong-way driver were both drunk behind the wheel when they were killed in a fiery crash just hours after the politician’s swearing-in ceremony in January, according to officials and state police. State Rep. Quentin Williams, 39, a Democrat from Middleton who had just been sworn into a third term, died on the morning of Jan. 5 as he was heading home from Gov. Ned Lamont’s inaugural ball in Hartford. Williams’ Infiniti Q60 burst into flames after it was struck head-on by 27-year-old Kimede Mutafaj driving her Toyota Corolla the wrong way on Route 9...

Colorado’s election chief was shot down by her own party leaders after demanding the Democrat-controlled legislature adopt a measure to chill future recount efforts. Adding insult to injury, the Democrats added what we like to call the “shut up and sit down” provision telling Secretary of State Jena Griswold to stop using taxpayer dollars to promote her own vain self for reelection. We’re giving Colorado Senate President Steve Fenberg a rare standing ovation on this one. PeakNation will recall that Griswold blew more than $1 million in taxpayer dollars to fund a blatantly political reelection TV commercial last year featuring...

The agency's emails, obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request, show that officials were aware Williams did not meet the statute's requirements, but they explored how to circumvent it. The government watchdog Protect the Public's Trust published records Thursday that appear to show how Interior Department officials explored ways to circumvent a statute in the nomination process for Martha Williams as the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service because she did not appear to have the "scientific education" required under the statute. Before she was sworn in to lead the agency in March 2022, Williams served as...

Over the past few months, we’ve asked Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) questions about how they spend ratepayer dollars on advertising and sponsorships. Stay tuned for a future Springs Taxpayers United article about sponsorships. Right now, we’ll focus exclusively on the CSU advertising budget. We wondered why a monopoly utility needs to advertise at all. No one in their service area has a choice on which utility to use. The local advertising company Vladmir Jones handles the advertising account for CSU. Through a Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) request, we asked for all of the 2022 advertising expenditures. Vladmir Jones invoices...

Fox Sports reporter Allison Williams is one of two former ESPN employees suing the Worldwide Leader over their termination for refusing to comply with the company’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate. Williams and former producer Beth Faber filed a joint lawsuit on Wednesday, claiming ESPN and Disney violated their religious beliefs. In the 83-page complaint, filed in Connecticut, Williams claims she applied for an “exemption from vaccination on grounds of disability” as she was set to undergo in vitro fertilization. She later applied for a religious exemption, which was denied and led to her exit from the company in October 2021.

Donald Trump — meet Kyrsten Sinema. Sen. Sinema (I-Ariz.) recently departed the Democratic Party to become an independent. If Trump follows her lead and runs for president as an independent he instantly launches the most consequential third-party candidacy in American history. Think about it. Polls now show GOP voters increasingly rejecting the disgraced ex-president as the party’s 2024 nominee. If Republicans turn on him, is there any doubt the notoriously thin-skinned Trump will soon start threatening a run as an independent to spite his former party? A third-party platform allows him to stay in the media spotlight and continue to...

Republican Brandon Williams leads Democrat Francis Conole in New York’s Twenty-second Congressional District by five points, according to the Spectrum News/Siena College poll released on Tuesday. The Spectrum News/Siena College poll found that Williams leads with 45 percent of the 453 likely voters in New York’s newly redistricted Twenty-second Congressional District saying they would vote for him, while 40 percent said the Democrat.

Prize-winning author Toni Morrison famously joked that President Clinton’s style and ability to deliver for Black people made him the first Black president. By Morrison’s logic, Joe Biden is the third Black president — with President Obama as the second. President Biden’s vice president is a Black woman and he put the first Black woman on the Supreme Court. And as the midterms approach, Biden’s work to reduce student debt and lower drug prices are big wins for Black Americans, especially given the racial wealth gap. But Biden’s most potentially enduring political victory for Black people is taking shape in...

If Serena Williams did indeed drown her sorrows with the noise of her own voice by going to a karaoke booth after losing her maybe or make-believe goodbye game at the US Open, it is probably just as well. If, instead, she had turned to social media in search of buckets more of the delirious deification which cascaded onto that twirling head in the Arthur Ashe stadium, those tears would have turned from 'happy' to horrified. By no means everyone, it transpires, subscribes to the worshipful cult of adoration upon which Queen Serena was transported from Flushing Meadows to evolution....

Well,we media folks have done it again. We've taken indisputable , recurring and conspicuous facts and buried them to create a sustainable fiction in service to nervous, cautious lies.

FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILE Last December cops revealed they were investigating the fake “anthony_shots” social media profile created by Kegan Kline in connection with the case. The 27-year-old, who is currently in jail awaiting trial over child sex abuse allegations, has not been charged over the Delphi murders and denies any involvement. But transcripts of a police interview with Kline showed that the catfish account he created was in touch with Libby the day she and Abby were killed. And according to the transcripts, whoever was using the “anthony_shots” account was supposed to meet Libby and Abby on the trails...

As she seeks re-election, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold is spending more than $1 million in taxpayer dollars on statewide TV commercials that will boost her image. Why it matters: The money comes from an account that covers the cost of election equipment and software upgrades — a move that is generating questions and criticism. County clerks — the elected officials who administer elections in Colorado — wanted to spend the money on improving voting access, but they say they were rebuffed. What's happening: The commercial in question features Griswold and her Republican predecessor, Wayne Williams, asking voters to...
