“Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.”
The words are those of Renee Good’s wife Becca. They cut to our heart – our humanity. She was shot in the face by an ICE agent, who then muttered: “Fuckin’ bitch.” The murder of this 37-year-old mom as she tried to drive around the ICE guys who stopped her is national news, of course. Almost everyone has seen at least one of the many videos of the incident and, you might say, the national dialogue about virtually anything else has been put on hold.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested, detained, deported, and/or imprisoned many people that it has unilaterally determined to be undesirables. At first, they claimed they would deport only criminals, but it has already gone beyond that. We at the Free Press consider every person who has been sent to the Tecoluca (El Salvador prison), Guantanamo naval base, or detained in other prisons throughout the country to be innocent until proven guilty. We will include students who have been expelled for protesting genocide. It appears the government will revoke Visa's to get rid of undesirable students. This article will be updated as long as is necessary.
BANGKOK, Thailand -- India's military is expanding across the Andaman Sea into Southeast Asia with construction of a multi-billion-dollar air and sea base on remote Great Nicobar Island, New Delhi's furthest reach toward the Strait of Malacca where rival China ships more than 75 percent of its imported oil.
"The Great Nicobar Island Project, which is of strategic, defense and national importance, transforms the region into a major hub of maritime and air connectivity in the Indian Ocean region," India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi proudly shared on his social media in September.
New Delhi and its allies, potentially including Washington, could benefit in that watery zone if a serious conflict erupts with Beijing after the massive project is completed on isolated and previously neglected Great Nicobar Island.
Construction has already begun. An initial phase allowing air and sea operations may be ready within a few years.
Great Nicobar is India's southernmost island, 1,860 miles (3,000 kms) southeast of New Delhi, in a 500-mile-long (800 km) tropical Nicobar archipelago.
Baby Keem rapped from above Vegas marquee as the entrance of his packed Kemba Live Show for Baby Keem’s Casino Tour. Keem is from Vegas. The idea being from Vegas instead of acting like a mob boss gave Vegas a strip-mall neighborhood aura which was almost meager in its sprawl.
I did the most basic: Baby Keem is the new generation’s Hip Hop star. Can Baby Keem rap live?
Dr. Dre brought Kendrick Lamar with Aftermath via Top Dawg. Kendrick Lamar’s first act from PGLang after leaving Top Dawg: Baby Keem. Baby Keem rapped polysyllabic patterns with clarity above an adoring, large audience.
While technically checking out Keem, I realized Wednesday’s Baby Keem Casino show is the first time I’ve ever thought Baby Keem sounded like Kendrick Lamar. Baby Keem is Kendrick Lamar’s artist. Baby Keem is with Kendrick’s PG Lang creative communications company.

When Schindler’s List was released in 1993, viewers probably saw its hero as one of a kind. German businessman Oskar Schindler may have stuck his neck out to help Jews survive the Holocaust during World War II, but it was assumed few others were willing to do the same.
That assumption was wrong, according to the new documentary This Ordinary Thing. Written and directed by Nick Davis, the film tells the stories of dozens of people who risked Nazi wrath to come to the aid of their Jewish friends and neighbors.
As we learn, those people were spread across multiple countries that fell under Hitler’s domination, including Germany itself, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Belgium and Yugoslavia.
Since peeps have woke’d up to Palestine, the United States of Israel are merging its militaries for surveillance and suppression purposes. Gulaged immigrants on hunger strike have a beef with the worms in their lunch, but there is no law a private prison is bound to respect. Jare-vanka’s desire to buy a piece of Albania is opposed by Albania, except for its president. Finally, China is developing AI to predict dissent. That really will be finally, for dissent.

And the Orange One from Marmalade spoke: “Thou shalt worship no other Trumps before me.”
So anxious are Evangelicals for the second coming of the Lord by God, a zombie apocalypse, many anxious MAGA disciples are rushing headlong into Armageddon with their offering of not one, but two heirheads apparent: The Orange Jesus, Trump the Terrible, vs. The Host of the Heathens: Pentagon’s Pious Punk, Pete of Hegseth.
It’s been rumored that God’s favorite, the Meshuga One, or as Trump modestly admits, “The Chosen One,” has been overheard to say: There for the Grace of God, go I,” Or was it… Whither God goes, go I. I forgot which.
