It has been eight years since former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith was killed in a road-rage incident. Cardell Hayes was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison back in December 2016. However, the verdict was not unanimous. At the time, Louisiana was one of only two states — the other being Oregon —that allowed a 12-person jury to convict with one or two not-guilty votes. The jury voted 10-2 in Hayes’ case.

It’s a beautiful day in ToastedShoes’ version of Palworld, where the YouTuber is currently hunting creatures on “Legal Island.” He creeps through the grass and makes a delighted discovery: “Look at that!” he yells. “It’s my favorite legally distinct pocket-sized creature—Electric Yellow Rat.” Indeed, that is exactly what it is, and nothing more. Definitely not a beloved icon by the name of Pikachu. The bit for this “completely legitimate, legal mod” is as good as a middle finger to Nintendo. Days prior, ToastedShoes became an internet favorite when he uploaded a video featuring Pokémon characters modded into Palworld. Nintendo,…

You would think decriminalizing hard drugs would be universally recognized as a bad idea, but it seems the leaders and citizens of Oregon didn’t see it that way until the time came to reap the consequences. And it seems the time to reap those consequences is just about now, considering that, according to a story in CNN, Oregon has been forced to declare a 90-day “state of emergency” in downtown Portland, due to an ongoing and increasingly alarming drug addiction crisis, specifically to the drug fentanyl. As reported in CNN, “Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson…
Jimmy Butler may not be concerned after the Miami Heat suffered their seventh-straight loss when they went down to the Phoenix Suns on Monday, but head coach Erik Spoelstra didn’t echo the same sentiment when he addressed the media following their, 118-105 defeat. Placed 24-23, the Heat have now slipped to seventh in the East, and the last time they hit a snag was during the forgettable 2007-08 season where they had only 15 wins for the entirety of the season. When asked about the slump, Spoelstra kept it real, calling the concern “extremely high”, and that the Heat…

Opinion Tractor on farm track by Peter Holmes, via Wikimedia Commons The progressive stranglehold of “climate change” policy in Europe has taken its toll on their farmers, and they have reached a critical breaking point. A breaking point that could be coming to America’s heartland in the very near future. Europe has had a simmering level of discontent among its farming community over the last few years, with tensions in some countries starting to boil over as farmers intensify protests throughout the continent. Major highways have been blocked by tractors, bales of hay lit on fire, and access to airports…
Well, here’s a shocking revelation: The Zach Wilson-Aaron Rodgers relationship reportedly soured as the 2023 season progressed in New York. Go figure. Apparently, Wilson thought he’d be able to stay in direct contact with Rodgers after Rodgers’ Achilles injury in Week 1.
