There are many questions about what’s next for these two ostracized nations, but two facts are clear.
Kim Jong-Un is looking for international friendship and support wherever he can find it, and Vladimir Putin seems determined to give it to him… because he needs weapons to continue his invasion of Ukraine, which almost nobody else in the world supports.
While news anchor Cornelia Nicholson was recording a promotional video for the evening news, news anchor Riley Nagel interrupted to propose to his favorite colleague.
Channel WRCB was able to capture the whole thing, so thankfully this magical moment was preserved!
“Cornelia and I met on the news in Montana about four years ago (…) You always light up the room and make people laugh. You have a lot of talent, especially for news. I think anyone who looks at you knows that. You’re the main reason I still work in news today. You’re always pushing me to be better in every aspect of my life. And I thought it would be perfect to ask you this question here, since we met on news. Cornelia Nocholson, will you marry me?” said Riley Nagel with great emotion.
Then the young woman exclaimed: “Oh my God… I’m going to cry… Yes! Yes I do!”
Donald Trump has once again been found guilty of defamation against E. Jean Carroll, and a jury will be convened next January to determine the amount of damages, which will be added to the five million dollars already awarded to Carroll in the first trial she won last May.

In 2019, Carroll published a memoir entitled What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal, in which she details various experiences with men throughout her life.
In it, Carroll alleged that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s. She claimed that Trump, at the time a real estate mogul and TV personality, had forcibly kissed and sexually assaulted her.

Trump vehemently denied the allegations and said he had never met Carroll, despite a photo showing them together at a social event in the 1980s.
Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump in November 2019, claiming that he had falsely accused her of lying about the incident and damaged her reputation.

In October 2020, the US Department of Justice, under the Trump administration, sought to intervene in the trial and defend Trump, arguing that he was acting in his official capacity as president when he denied Carroll’s allegations, but to no avail. The trial finally took place last May.
At the conclusion of the civil trial, Donald Trump was found guilty of sexually assaulting Carroll in the 1990s (not guilty of rape) and of defaming her in comments made in 2019 and 2022.

In addition, now, the judge also allowed E. Jean Carroll to include comments made by Trump at a CNN Town Hall hosted by Kaitlan Collins last May, just days after she lost her case against Carroll, in the second case.

“This woman, I don’t know her. I never met her. I have no idea who she is. I had a picture taken years ago with her and her husband, nice guy John Johnson. He was a newscaster, very nice man. She called him an ape, happens to be African-American. Called him an ape… the judge wouldn’t allow us to put that in. Her dog or her cat was named vagina, the judge wouldn’t allow to put that in. All these things, but with her, they can put in anything… Access Hollywood,” the former president said.

The trial scheduled to determine the amount of damages will take place on January 15, 2024.
Donald Trump has a new hearing date to his already busy judicial calendar!
Thousands of festival-goers finally left the site of the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada desert, after spending several days stuck in the mud left by the torrential rains that hit the region a few days earlier.
Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Black Rock City, the temporary metropolis created for the festival, and the 2023 edition was no exception.
We just published a new webpage of information about the weather, Exodus, and what to expect over the next few days in Black Rock City. The full page of information can be found at: https://t.co/qgc0mcFd0r. Please read and share.
Over 73,000 people were present in the desert as the festival, scheduled to run from Sunday August 27 to Monday September 4, was abruptly halted midway through!

The situation quickly became complicated when torrential rains fell on Friday evening, leaving an impressive amount of mud on the entire festival site, making it impossible to evacuate thousands of recreational vehicles, which were stranded for several days.

Celebrities also found themselves stuck in the mud. Diplo and Chris Rock, in particular, were evacuated by fans after walking more than 8 km!

As more than 60,000 people rushed to the exit in their vehicles, when evacuations were finally authorized, the majority found themselves stuck again, this time in a line that lasted more than 7 hours, and kept getting longer, so much so that the organizers of the disastrous event begged them to stay an extra day to give everyone time to get out.
The wait time to exit BRC is 7 hours and climbing. If you are able to, wait to exit BRC until later tonight or tomorrow, and save yourself the long wait. The man burns in 2 hours! If you do exit, tune into GARS 95.1 for updated information on your way.
Former Donald Trump lawyer and ex-New York mayor Rudy Giuliani has just lost a defamation lawsuit brought by two Georgia election workers, after Giuliani made false allegations of ballot tampering in Georgia against the two women, repeatedly, after the 2020 elections.
JUST IN: Rudy Giuliani loses a defamation lawsuit brought by Georgia election workers, a decision that could mean significant penalties for Trump's former lawyer https://t.co/hYYSZH4Od9
“What we went through after the 2020 election was a living nightmare,” said the two workers, a mother and daughter, after the judge ruled in their favor.

Giuliani will also have to pay the workers nearly $90,000 to cover legal fees in the case, in addition to being confirmed a trial date in 2024 to decide how much the workers could seek in damages as a result of these allegations.
An amount that could well reach millions of dollars!

The two women, who had to leave their home under the FBI’s advice, say they’ve been living in fear of going to the supermarket or simply going out since the repeated attacks by Trump’s lawyer that began when the latter released a surveillance video of the vote count in Atlanta calling them conspirators and ballot stuffers, accusations that Georgia election officials have of course refuted.

“There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?” one of the victims claimed in a video testimony.
Giuliani himself admitted last month that he had made defamatory remarks about the women workers. The former lawyer acknowledged and did not disputed their claims that he had tarnished their reputations.

The legal troubles are far from over for Donald Trump’s former lawyer.
Beekeepers were called out Wednesday morning after five million bees fell off a truck in Burlington, Ontario. Police also responded to the emergency.
According to CBC News, the boxes containing the bees slipped from the truck and fell onto the road.
According to the same source, the street was completely cleaned up following the incident, but local residents were nevertheless instructed to keep their windows closed and not to walk near the truck in question.

What’s more, the driver of the vehicle was charged with two Highway Code offences as a result of the incident!
A few thousand bees died when the boxes fell from the truck…
However, beekeepers hope that the bees that flew away will be returned to their respective boxes and returned to their hives.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly been living on borrowed time since the death of Wagner band leader Yevgeny Prigozhin on August 23, Radar Online reports.
According to at least one known source, Professor Anthony Glees, political scientist and Director of European Studies at Brunel University, Wagner’s troops are seeking revenge for the death of their leader, and Putin should be “very careful” on future trips.
This warning is particularly valid for Putin’s visit to China next October, he believes.

“His presidential jet could be shot down over the steppes of eastern Russia by Wagner group members who may have access to a Buk missile system amongst their arsenal,” Glees explains first.
“He’s a dead man walking,” concludes the professor.
On August 23, a plane suddenly crashed in northern Russia with the leader of the Wagner military group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, on board.
CaptureCNN
Shortly before his death, the leader of the mercenary group had helped the Russians advance into Ukraine since the start of the invasion, then organized a full-scale rebellion against the Kremlin, claiming that Russian troops were targeting the mercenaries. Yevgeny Prigozhin decided to turn back when he entered Moscow, citing an agreement reached between him and Vladimir Putin, a deal brokered by the Belarusian president, while many experts claimed that Prigozhin’s hours were now numbered!

And indeed, his presumed death is widely considered by observers to have been at Putin’s direction… as well as according to Prigozhin’s troops, who could now seek revenge for the alleged murder of their leader.
A Republican candidate has received a letter from BMI representing rapper Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, asking him to stop using his songs on the campaign trail!

Lose Yourself quickly became one of Eminem’s signature tracks and remains one of the most popular and influential rap songs of all time.
Authorities in Kansas have reportedly raided one of the former residences of Dennis Rader, the serial killer better known as the BTK Killer, in a bid to find new clues in unsolved cases.
Investigators say they are searching the former Park City, Kansas, property of Dennis Rader, the self-proclaimed “BTK Killer” who pleaded guilty to murdering 10 people between the 1970s and 1990s. https://t.co/oGYh14O0tE
According to CNN, the search would be aimed at trying to establish links between Rader and numerous unsolved cases in the area.
“The Osage County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to follow leads in unsolved missing persons and murder cases possibly related to BTK.” Osage County Undersheriff Gary Upton told CNN.

In particular, police and Park City authorities reportedly searched the site of Rader’s former home in suburban Wichita, according to the undersheriff.
Certainly ranked among the worst serial killers in the U.S., Dennis Rader was arrested in 2005 for the murders of ten people between 1974 and 1991.

Letters sent by Rader, taunting the police while calling himself BTK, a terrifying acronym, to the media and police would eventually lead to his arrest. Rader lived a veritable double life, in addition to being married with two children, and had even been elected president of the board of Christ Lutheran Church in Wichita.
Hopefully, this latest search will provide answers for the families of the missing.
