An emergency vehicle passes a roadblock near a scene where a Baltimore County police officer died, while investigating a suspicious vehicle, Monday, May 21, 2018, in Perry Hall, Md. Heavily armed police swarmed into the leafy suburb, searching for at least one armed suspect.

A manhunt in the Perry Hall suburb of Baltimore County has come to an end today, and four teenage suspects are in the custody of Baltimore County Police after an officer, now identified as Police Officer First Class Amy Caprio, was killed while responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle. Caprio was “critically injured” when she encountered one of the suspects currently in custody.

Beyonce is not upset with Ryan Reynolds or Blake Lively.

Beyonce is not upset with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively about jokes made about the singer-songwriter in Marvel’s second installment of Deadpool.

Some tabloids contend that the “Crazy in Love” singer was not only angry with Ryan Reynolds for having made a rather innocuous joke in the film at her expense but even with his wife Blake Lively. At one point during the movie, Reynolds’ character tells another character: “In the words of Beyonce, please stop cheating on me.”

NW magazine reported that Beyonce, upset as she was with Reynolds for having made fun of her marital issues with Jay Z in the film, took an umbrage with Lively as well. This was reportedly because Beyonce felt that she had broken “girl code by not telling Ryan to think twice about poking fun at another woman being cheated on.”

The source quoted by NW magazine even went on to claim that Beyonce “thinks it’s cruel and certainly isn’t laughing.”

It’s only the end of May, but Santa Claus already has two new reindeer in his bullpen should he need them on December 24. And they’re twins!

According to BBC News, Britain’s only free-roaming herd of reindeer has seen the birth of its first live twins.

The pair, born two weeks ago, belong to the Cairngorms Reindeer Herd of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Prior to the current bundles of joy, twins born to the herd have either been stillborn or died soon after birth.

“Thirty years ago we had twins, one was stillborn and the other survived for 12 hours. Since then we have had two sets (2008 and 2015) but both were stillborn so you can imagine our shock when we found them both alive and well,” reindeer herder and center manager, Fiona Smith, told Scotsman.

World’s Largest Amphibian, The Chinese Giant Salamander, Headed To Extinction

In a sad turn of events, another creature totters on the brink of extinction. This time, it is the Chinese giant salamander, or as it is also known by its binomial name, Andrias davidianus. The colossal amphibian has been termed a “living fossil” because little has changed regarding its physical makeup in the past 170 million years. The Chinese giant salamander may actually be made up of five separate species according to Smithsonian, and some may already be extinct.

The critically endangered amphibian can grow up to 5.9 feet in length and can weigh in at a whopping 140 pounds. However, the Chinese giant salamander rarely reaches those dimensions today. The only other salamanders that come close to its size is the somewhat smaller Japanese giant salamander and the North American hellbender that is a great deal smaller.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Nigel Farage free speech

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg answered questions today in the Brussels-based European Parliament and had a notable exchange about censorship with Nigel Farage, the former leader of the U.K. Independence Party who is considered the architect of Brexit.

In this context, Zuckerberg faced similar inquiries from some GOP senators last month on Capitol Hill, particularly about the status of the irreverent, pro-Trump siblings Diamond and Silk. The North Carolina sisters claimed that six months ago, traffic on their Facebook page dropped precipitously and they were subsequently deemed “unsafe to the community.”

During his D.C. testimony, Zuckerberg admitted that the Silicon Valley is “an extremely left-leaning place,” but that Facebook has tried to take steps to root out any political bias among his content review staff. He eventually told the lawmakers that the Diamond and Silk designation was a mistake by the Facebook enforcement team

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump, Evgeny "Gene" Freidman, Trump Russia, russia investigation

In a stunning development that could lead to new breaks in the Donald Trump Russia collusion investigation, the longtime Russian business partner of Trump’s personal lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen, Evgeny “Gene” Freidman — New York’s so-called “taxi king” — has taken a plea deal and agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in the criminal case against Cohen and possibly other federal investigations, according to a scoop published by The New York Times on Tuesday afternoon.

Freidman emigrated from the Soviet Union to the United States at the age of 5 in 1976 when his father, a thermonuclear engineer, fled the U.S.S.R. to escape anti-Semitism there. But when he arrived in the U.S., the elder Freidman did not put his experience with nuclear technology to work but instead entered the rough-and-tumble taxi business in New York City.

Congress Sends Bank Bill To Trump's Desk

Today, the United States House of Representatives endorsed a major bank deregulation bill, forwarding the bill to President Trump’s Resolute desk. Politico reports that the bill includes provisions for lenders of all sizes, great and small, and focuses primarily on freedom from regulatory bondage and oversight as well as relaxing mortgage rules, particularly those surrounding mortgage lending to high-risk prospects. The bill is bipartisan in nature, though primarily Republican in nature, and originated in the Senate before being sent to the House for further debate and discussion.

“This is the most pro-growth banking bill in a generation,” said House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), who helped lay the groundwork for the legislation. [Politico]

Hawaii volcano kilauea erupting since May 3.

Lava has been spewing from multiple fissures around Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano for the past few weeks. Sending local authorities into a panic as they try to figure what to do, the lava flow is now inching closer to a major power plant.

After destroying two dozen homes and displacing numerous residents, Kilauea’s lava flow threatens to enter the Puna Geothermal Venture Plant. Wells around the plant are the most concern. Experts fear once lava enters the wells, poisonous and flammable hydrogen sulfide gas will be released.

“Fissure 6 reactivated last night and has been erupting since around midnight,” said officials with Hawaii County in a statement, as quoted by USA Today.“The flows from Fissure 6 are slowly flowing closer to PGV property.”

Potential Tropical Storm Alberto Could Drench Gulf Coast This Weekend

This weekend is the official start of summer, but for people living along the Gulf Coast, the holiday may be spent in the deluge of a tropical storm instead of at a cookout or watching fireworks. A slow-moving weather system is making its way toward the Gulf Coast and Southeastern seaboard, and by the time it reaches landfall, the National Weather Service says there is a 40 percent chance that it will become the first tropical storm of 2018. Its name would be Alberto. The system is currently located east of Belize in the Carribean Sea. It’s expected to reach the U.S. mainland late Saturday.

According to People, after losing his job eight years ago, Michael moved back home where he’s lived rent-free ever since. They sent him five letters in which they offered him help and even cash to get set up in a new place. Unfortunately, he ignored every attempt they made to evict him.

Airline Passenger Michael Allen Haag Arrested After Police Say He Urinated In Seat, 'Touched' Female Passenger

A man identified as Michael Allen Haag could face up to 20 years in prison after he allegedly acted out while aboard a Frontier Airlines flight, engaging in drunk and unruly behavior that reportedly included inappropriately touching a female passenger and urinating on a nearby seat.

According to a report from USA Today, the incident happened aboard Frontier Airlines flight F9864 from Denver to Charleston, South Carolina, when the 45-year-old Haag, who was sitting in seat 25E, ordered a double vodka for himself. At that point, he began making comments that were unsettling to some of his fellow passengers, with one witness recalling to FBI officers that Haag was telling a woman how he was “physically excited” to see an ex-girlfriend. Citing the same FBI affidavit, The Smoking Gun wrote that Haag kept asking personal questions to this passenger, and “kept looking at her chest and legs, as she was wearing a tank top and shorts.”

Kardashian will not elope with Tristan.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have been the talk of the entertainment world over the last month or two. Obviously, they were happy to welcome their first child together, True Thompson, to the world. Unfortunately, that bit of news is not what the couple has been in the news for the most recently.

Thompson was caught cheating on Kardashian on multiple occasions while he was on the road playing in the NBA for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was caught in video footage kissing women and even took one of them into his hotel. Those two things were enough for most of Khloe’s fans to expect her to end up dumping him.

Despite the cheating scandal, Kardashian has stayed by Thompson’s side. She has seemingly moved past the couple’s issues and forgiven Thompson for his mistakes.

Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer Hit With $10M Judgement For Old Firm’s Bankruptcy Case

NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 16: (L to R) Adult film actress Stormy Daniels (Stephanie Clifford) and Michael Avenatti, attorney for Stormy Daniels, speak to the media as they exit the United States District Court Southern District of New York for a hearing related to Michael Cohen, President Trump's longtime personal attorney and confidante, April 16, 2018 in New York City. Cohen and lawyers representing President Trump are asking the court to block Justice Department officials from reading documents and materials related to Cohen's relationship with President Trump that they believe should be protected by attorney-client privilege. Officials with the FBI, armed with a search warrant, raided Cohen's office and two private residences last week.

Adult film star Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, will have to pay a former colleague $10 million, a federal bankruptcy court judge in California ruled Tuesday.

According to Bloomberg, the judge, sitting in Santa Anna, California, granted a motion for judgment against Avenatti’s old law firm, Egan Avenatti LLP, which had been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

The former class action firm started in 2007 and recently won a $454 million verdict last year against Kimberly-Clark Corp. and it’s subsidiary Halyard Health Inc. for unsafe surgical gowns, Bloomberg’s story said.

A judge eventually reduced the verdict to just around $25 million, according to Bloomberg.

As part of the proceedings, Jason Frank, a former colleague and creditor, and Avenatti reached a settlement for $4.9 million in December that was to end the case.

He’s not alt-right, he’s not a white nationalist, and he’s not a misogynist. He is a bestselling author, an inspiration for many to live fuller, more deeply contemplative lives, and a doting husband and father.

Jordan Peterson, a soft-spoken Canadian professor whose voice is often humorously compared to that of Kermit the Frog, has a growing list of enemies on the political left. Coming into fame initially for rejecting the notion of compelled speech with punitive outcomes over an expanded list of gender pronouns, he has since moved on to become a purveyor of philosophy pertaining to every element of a life examined.

sonic attack U.S. consulate Guangzhou China

An illness suffered by a U.S. government official stationed in Guangzhou, China, has prompted the U.S. State Department to issue a health alert to Americans who are visiting or have visited that country.

State Department sources are apparently looking into the possibility of a so-called sonic attack at the consulate in the southern China city, along the lines of what mysteriously occurred in Cuba in 2016 and 2017, CNN reported.

A health alert from the State Department explained that the employee in question “reported subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure.” The official, who encountered these symptoms from late 2017 through April 2018, has returned to the U.S. for a medical evaluation. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing learned last week that the official was diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury, the Washington Post detailed.

Bronx Man Stabs Girlfriend until she loses her baby

In what is being described as a “horrific” crime — and for good reason — a Bronx man has been arrested and charged with a variety of felonies after stabbing his girlfriend so many times that she lost the baby she was carrying.

According to The Daily Mail, Oscar Alvarez — the Bronx man in question — is being charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, assault, and weapons possession after he stabbed his pregnant girlfriend, Liv Abreu, multiple times.

The 30-year-old victim was stabbed six times in the chest and once in the side.

Abreu was 26 weeks into her pregnancy when Alvarez attacked her, and his attacks were so vicious that she lost the baby girl that she was carrying.

Abreu, who was due in August 2018, had taken to sharing pictures of “my little human” on her social media accounts, and by all accounts, couldn’t wait to be a mother.
