MS-13 Gang Member, Released from Prison,
Charged with Killing Uber Eats Driver in ‘Demonic’ Murder

 Warning! The crime scene description might make you wanna  puke.

An MS-13 Gang member, recently released from prison on parole, is now charged with murdering an Uber Eats driver in a case that police call “demonic” in Holiday, Florida.

Oscar Solis, a 30-year-old MS-13 Gang member, was arrested on April 24 for allegedly murdering and dismembering 59-year-old Randall Cooke, a husband and stepfather, on April 19, as he was delivering food to the gang member’s home in his final delivery for the night.

“This person, you always say the word ‘evil,’ but this is demonic. This individual, what he did was demonic,” Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said. “… this person killed him for no reason and took him away from his family.”

According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, Cooke was texting with his wife, Kathy, whom he married in 2020, on the night of his murder. Cooke had one final Uber Eats delivery to make, a job he got to support his wife and stepdaughters’ dreams of living oceanside.

Police said security camera footage shows Cooke making the delivery at Solis’s residence before the camera shuts off. From there, police believe Solis yanked Cooke inside the home, murdered him, dismembered his body, and then stuffed his remains in trash bags, which he later took out to garbage cans with another suspect.

Cooke’s blood and wedding ring were found inside Solis’s residence, and police discovered his remains in the trash bags a couple of days after the alleged murder.

Talk Show Hosting Legend Jerry Springer Dies at 79

Legendary TV talk show host Jerry Springer died peacefully at home on Thursday after a battle with cancer. He was 79.

Jerry’s family confirmed to TMZ he died at his home in Chicago.

The presenter hosted “The Jerry Springer Show” for nearly three decades from 1991, becoming a byword for TV performance in the process – both at home in the U.S. and around the world.

In a statement, Jene Galvin, a friend of Springer’s and spokesman for the family, described him as “irreplaceable.”
...
After more than 4,000 episodes, the show ended in 2018.

Prior to his broadcasting career, which included roles as a political reporter and commentator, Springer was the mayor of Cincinnati and a political campaign adviser to Robert F Kennedy.

Turkey’s Erdogan Reemerges, Appearing Frail, After Mystery Illness

Islamist Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a video address on Thursday in which he spoke softly and appeared frail, his first live appearance since suddenly falling ill during a live television interview on Tuesday.
...
The president’s spokesmen insisted that Erdogan was suffering from what was initially described as a “cold” or “stomach flu.” By Thursday, Ankara had reached a consensus, describing Erdogan as suffering from a gastroenteritis infection – essentially a “stomach flu” – and claimed that he would be back on the campaign trail as soon as possible.

Turkey has scheduled presidential elections for May 14. Erdogan is facing a significant challenge from Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu; polling has consistently shown Kılıçdaroğlu as a competitive or leading candidate. Erdogan has prevented Turks from participating in free and fair elections in past contests, however, through the imprisonment of opposition candidates and suspected political dissidents.

Shortly before Erdogan fell ill, Turkish authorities announced a “counter-terror” operation that resulted in the arrests of 110 people, some of them public officials, accused of having ties to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a Marxist terrorist group. Mass arrests of dissidents on spurious charges of “terrorism” have been a hallmark of Erdogan’s tenure.

The Kurdish population is critical to Kılıçdaroğlu’s victory in the election; polling indicates that, without sizeable Kurdish support, Kılıçdaroğlu’s coalition – which includes significant opposition to Kurdish political grounds – is not enough to overcome Erdogan’s grassroots Islamist support, assuming a free and fair election.

Argentina Shuns U.S. Dollar: Will Pay for China Imports in Yuan

Argentina struck a deal with Beijing on Wednesday to stop using U.S. dollars to pay for Chinese imports and embrace the yuan instead.

The measure, driven by Argentina’s leftist President Alberto Fernández, is designed to relieve the South American country’s dwindling dollar reserves, AP reports.

The deal further enhances China’s rise on the world stage and the diminished role of the U.S. on a host of fronts under President Joe Biden.

After reaching the agreement with various companies, Argentina will use the yuan for imports from China worth about U.S.$1.04 billion from next month, accelerating trade with China as Beijing seeks to gain a further foothold in South America.

In November last year Argentina expanded a currency swap with China by $5 billion in an effort to increase its yuan reserves.

That agreement allowed Argentina “to work on the possibility” of advancing the rate of imports with yuan-denominated import orders being authorised in 90 days rather than the standard 180 days.

People Need to ‘Accept’ Being Poorer
Amid Inflation, Says Central Banker

The public should just “accept that they’re worse off” than they were a year ago amid rampant inflation, an ivory tower Bank of England boss said this week.

Huw Pill, the chief economist for the UK’s central bank, said that people should not seek salary increases to cope with the soaring inflation, which the Bank of England predicted would be a “temporary” phenomenon in August of 2021, yet, inflation remains in double digits in Britain nearly two years later.

In a ‘let them eat cake’ moment, Pill, who reportedly earns a salary of £190,000 per year, said that rather than demanding pay increases commeserate with the rise in cost of living, the central banker said that people should just “accept that they’re worse off”  condeming the “reluctance” of families to come to grips with the impacts of inflation on their way of life.

The central banker argued that if people continue to ask for pay hikes, it will have a ripple impact of increasing prices across the board.

“If the cost of what you’re buying has gone up compared to what you’re selling, you’re going to be worse off,” Pill said in comments reported by The Times.

“So, somehow in the UK, someone needs to accept that they’re worse off and stop trying to maintain their real spending power by bidding up prices whether through higher wages or passing energy costs on to customers.

 In few words, he's telling Britons that it sucks being you.

Trudeau Says Canada ‘Very Serious’ About Nuclear Power,
Potentially Crippling Oil Industry

Far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said this week his government is “very serious” about reviving nuclear power, specifically because it might cripple Canada’s oil and natural gas industry.

“Even though in the short term there is a need for support of more fossil fuels into the global economy, what the world is looking at is not just getting off Russian oil and gas, it’s reducing our dependency on oil and gas overall and decarbonizing our energy mix as much as possible,” Trudeau said at a panel discussion in Ottawa with Canadian college students and visiting German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Trudeau said nuclear energy would probably be indispensable for “decarbonization,” a point the climate change movement is normally loathe to concede because environmental activists viscerally hate nuclear power. It was also a provocative point to raise on stage with Steinmeier since Germany shut down its last three nuclear reactors in April.

“As we look at what the baseload energy requirements are gonna be needed by Canada over the coming decades, especially as we continue to draw in global giants like Volkswagen who choose Canada partially because we have a clean energy mix to offer to power, we’re gonna need a lot more energy. We’re gonna have to be doing much more nuclear,” said Trudeau.

What makes no sense is that Trudeau wastes his time speaking to the German president instead of the chancellor Scholz who is the guy in power. No modern German would support another president or Führer ever again.
