According to a statement from the Abilene Police Department on Facebook, the men had been having a dispute about trash that had been brewing for “several days,” although it’s not clear why.

Cosby sentencing set for next week

Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill, who is presiding over the Bill Cosby sexual assault case, has told prosecutors they need to limit the number of accusers who will be speaking at the former comedian’s sentencing hearing, which starts on Monday, September 24.

As reported by USA Today, prosecutors had wanted more of Cosby’s 60 other accusers to speak during the sentencing in order to show that the “pattern of sexual misconduct makes him a predator and a danger.” Only five of his accusers spoke up at his retrial, which took place in April this year. He was ultimately found guilty on three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault.

By the end of the retrial, the jury convicted Cosby of drugging and molesting a woman in 2004.

New Jersey Sheriff Michael Saudino Apologizes For Racist Comments But Refuses To Resign

New Jersey Sheriff Michael Saudino is facing statewide calls to resign after being caught on tape making racist remarks about black people, but the sheriff is refusing to give in to the pressure.

The Democrat apologized on Thursday after WNYC published audio of the Bergen County Sheriff making disparaging remarks about black people in January, just after the inauguration of Gov. Phil Murphy.

In the audio, which was reportedly recorded in a county building, Saudino was heard complaining about criminal justice reforms including efforts to decriminalize marijuana.

“He talked about the whole thing, the marijuana, sanctuary state…better criminal justice reform,” he said in the audio. “Christ almighty, in other words let the blacks come in, do whatever the f**k they want, smoke their marijuana, do this do that, and don’t worry about it. You know, we’ll tie the hands of cops.”

Flea And Tick Meds and Seizure Risk In Dogs And Cats

Dogs and cats treated with products that are supposed to protect them from fleas and ticks could be at an increased risk for neurological problems, health regulators warned on Thursday.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned pet owners and veterinarians of pills and chewables that contains the pesticide called isoxazoline that ward off tick and flea infestation.

The treatments include products sold under the brand names Nexgard, Simparica, Credelio, and Bravecto.

NBC News said that isoxazoline products work by interfering with the nervous system of the insects, but the chemical does not appear to interfere as much with the nervous system of mammals. A group of researchers has even proposed testing the use of this pesticide to protect people against mosquitoes and other insect bites.

The warning was issued after routine data collection showed that some pets given isoxazoline class treatments experienced adverse events.

Former Judge Jeanine Pirro and Supre Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh collage

Fox News host and former judge, Jeanine Pirro, suggested on Thursday that Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee of sexually assaulting her, may have been hypnotized by her therapist, Newsweek is reporting.

Pirro, speaking with fellow Fox News host Sean Hannity, suggested Ford either fabricated her memory of the assault or her therapist hypnotized her.

Pirro and Hannity were discussing when the issue of Ford’s alleged sexual assault first came up. Hannity pointed out that reports claim Ford addressed the issue in couples therapy in 2012.

“Yeah, and what was that about? When was the first time Kavanaugh’s name came up? And what about, is this hypnosis? Is this confabulation?” Pirro said, referring to a term used by psychologists to define a memory error that involves the production of fabricated, distorted or misinterpreted memories, as per the Newsweek report. “This is all stuff that is contrary to what the law calls for.”

Donald Trump To Take Millions From Cancer & AIDS Research To Cover Cost Of Housing Immigrant Children

Donald Trump

The U.S. president is planning to add fuel to the fire in his quest to keep immigrant children in detention centers by shifting a reported $260 million around to cover the costs.

CNN reports that a couple million of this amount will be pulled from cancer research and HIV/AIDS prevention programs.

President Donald Trump’s request comes as the program “has been strained by record-high levels of children in custody.” The rising numbers of children is a result of new policies that are keeping them in detention for longer and making it more and more difficult to release the children to adults on the outside, such as extended family members.

At this point, there are 13,000 children currently in the custody of U.S. Health & Human Services (HHS). That figure is “higher than the record-setting 12,800 in custody last week.”

Former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight will serve 28 years in a state prison after reaching a plea deal for charges stemming from a 2015 hit-and-run.

President Trump’s administration has gone forward with sanctions against a Chinese military organization and its leader after it purchased fighter jets and missiles from the Russian government, according to reports from The Hill.

The State Department has announced that they will be placing financial restrictions on the Chinese company Equipment Development Department as well as its director, Li Shangfu, due to the Russian sanctions law that was passed by Congress in 2017.

The law, known as the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, places financial restrictions on any person or organization that involves itself in large financial transactions with the Russian military.

The Equipment Development Department and Shangfu came on the State Department’s radar after it purchased a Su-35 combat aircraft and equipment for S-400 surface-to-air missile systems from the Russian government in late 2017 and 2018.

The purchases occurred after the law was passed and drew attention from monitoring officials due to the amount the organization spent on the purchase.

Handmaid's Tale

While Halloween brings plenty of “sexy” variations to costumes, it appears that a costume based on a show centered around the oppression of women is a bridge too far. The “Handmaid’s Tale” style costume was being sold by the online retailer Yandy and modeled after the robes women on the hit television are put into when they are forced into surrogacy, according to reports from USA Today. Retailing for $65, the costume includes a red cape, mini dress, and white bonnet.

A description on Yandy’s website describes the costume, saying, “An upsetting dystopian future has emerged where women no longer have a say. However, we say be bold and speak your mind in this exclusive Brave Red Maiden costume.”

Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s travel ban imposed in 2017, the employees at the biggest search engine in the world wanted to tweak search results to lead people to find pro-immigration organizations and to encourage contacting lawmakers and government agencies.

The Wall Street Journal reported that these changes to the system would have meant that people searching for information on the travel ban – applied to mostly Muslim countries – would be encouraged to donate to these organizations and contact senators and governors to request that the ban be lifted.

Internal emails have been uncovered that explain their plan, and shows that “employees proposed ways to ‘leverage’ search functions and take steps to counter what they considered to be islamophobic, algorithmically biased results from search terms ‘Islam’, ‘Muslim’, ‘Iran’, etc. and prejudiced, algorithmically biased search results from search terms ‘Mexico’, ‘Hispanic’, ‘Latino’, etc.”

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Married

Despite reports to the contrary, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin have not yet tied the knot and are waiting until the terms of their prenuptial agreement are agreed upon before making their relationship official.

The couple was seen heading out of a courthouse in New York City, leading many to believe that the couple had already married on September 13.

TMZ reported that the duo only applied for a marriage license that day and did not become Mr. and Mrs. with a source noting Bieber said to Baldwin, “I can’t wait to marry you, baby” through tears.

The site reported that the twosome is negotiating the terms of their prenuptial agreement, despite reports that Justin is not asking for a prenup because he believes his marriage to Baldwin will last.

The religious couple is planning a marriage for the long haul, but apparently, those close to Bieber have assured him that the legal paperwork is necessary before he and Baldwin tie the knot.

Before his ascension to the presidency, Quang served as a minister of public security.

Quang’s presidency was marked with a crackdown on dissent, with multiple reports of rights activists being jailed during his time in office, according to CNN‘s reports.

Female Yale students were asked by a prominent professor to exude “model-like” feminity if they wanted a job in Brett Kavanaugh’s chambers, according to the Guardian.

Amy Chua, a Yale Law School professor who is also known for writing the bestselling parenting book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, reportedly advised female students preparing for interviews with Kavanaugh to dress and act in a particular way in order to be treated favorably. In a private meeting last year, Chua said that it was “not an accident” that all of Kavanaugh’s female law clerks “looked like models.” This is the same professor who endorsed Kavanaugh vociferously for the Supreme Court by calling him a “mentor to women.”

After days of holding back and, as The New Republic reported, being praised by his supporters and the media for his “restraint” in not attacking Christine Blasey Ford in public, Donald Trump broke that silence and attacked the California psychologist — who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempted rape — on his Twitter account.

Trump himself has been accused of sexual assault or harassment by at least 19 different women, as The Atlantic Monthly has recounted.

The Inquisitr reported last weekend that Trump planned to “go after” Blasey Ford. Trump’s Friday morning Twitter statement echoed comments he made on Thursday night in a Fox News interview with the network’s popular evening personality Sean Hannity, in which Trump wondered aloud why Ford — who says that Kavanaugh attacked her at a party in suburban Maryland in the early 1980s — did not “call the FBI” to report the assault at that time.

Russia had plans to help WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange escape from Russia.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was to be secretly whisked away from London’s Ecuadorian embassy all the way to Russia, an explosive report in the Guardian claims.

The purported plan, which was to be carried on Christmas Eve of 2017, never materialized after it was deemed “too risky” by all those involved in the operation. Kremlin had reportedly offered support for Assange’s escape plan by helping him leave the UK and finally settle in Russia.

The plan involved furnishing Assange with diplomatic documents so that Ecuador could claim that he enjoyed diplomatic immunity. He was to be whisked away in a diplomatic vehicle. As part of the plan, “agents from an international security company camped out in a two-bedroom basement flat on Basil Street” close to the embassy where Assange has been staying for six years.
