Russia's Yevgeny Prigozhin likely dead after plane 'mysteriously' crashed outside Moscow

"You don't tug on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger, and you don't mess around with Jim" --Jim Croce 

Yevgeny Prigozhin was a Russian dissident and a guy named Vladimir Putin didn't like him very much and labeled him a "traitor." One thing for sure, you don't want to get on the bad side of Putin if you value your ability to change oxygen into carbon dioxide, if you know what I mean.

Less than two months since leading a mutiny against "Bad Vlad's" military top brass, Prigozhin's private jet somehow crashed outside Moscow Wednesday night.

Prigozhin was the leader of the Wagner paramilitary group, a controversial band of marauders who initially fought against Ukraine. Unfortunately for him, he was on the passenger list of the Embraer jet that crashed [for some reason] near the sleepy village of Kuzhenkino, about 60 miles north of Moscow, according to TASS news agency.

“An investigation of the Embraer plane crash that happened in the Tver Region this evening was initiated. According to the passenger list, first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list,” the agency stated.

While it isn't known whether Prigozhin actually was on the flight, footage of the wreckage shows the aircraft's last four registration numbers which are 2795, a match for his plane, which is RA-02795, the hardly dependable news outlet CNN reported. Even the engine color is similar to the Wagner leader's jet.

The chance that Putin didn't throw a hypothetical monkey wrench into the jet intake and that Prigozhin wasn't on the plane is smaller than Dylan Mulvaney's breasts in a Bud Light photoshoot.

Flight data shows that a jet registered to the Wagner Group that Prigozhin used previously took off from Moscow on Wednesday evening and stopped transmitting signals around 6:11 p.m. local time, while a second jet linked to the Wagner Group chief landed without incident in St. Petersburg at 18:19 local time. Flight data indicates Prigozhen has been reported dead in a fiery private jet crash.

There were ten communists on board the plane when it went down less than 30 minutes into its journey from Sheremetyevo Airport outside the Russian capital to St. Petersburg, officials told TASS.

Just like in the movies, the jet burst into flames upon impact, according to TASS, which, like CNN, has been accused of spreading propaganda.

Thus far, eight bodies are believed to have been recovered from the crash site.

Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin was also possibly on the doomed flight, the Wagner Group-affiliated Telegram channel Gray Zone said.

“Various sources” alleged that the jet was downed by Russian “air defense systems,” the channel added.

An unverified video of a jet matching the description of an Embraer Legacy 600 tumbling out of the sky was circulated online by the Russian outlet RIA Novosti.

It's difficult to know who to believe, but don't be surprised to later discover that there were myriad UFO sightings heading straight for the aircraft just before it began it's tumbling toward terra firma.

The investigation into the crash is under the “personal control” of the governor of the Tver region, Igor Rudenya, joked TASS.

There is also a criminal investigation underway headed by the Russian Investigative Committee, CNN said.

Prigozhin had led his military group in a mutiny against Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 24 of this year, marching toward Moscow before the mutiny was called off around 100 miles before he reached the capital and the troops agreed to turn around and head back to the front lines.

The crash comes just two days after Prigozhin, 62, shared his first video address since the aborted coup.

Brit on vaca dies after trying to drink all 21 cocktails on menu: family blames medical responders, not him

A British man on vacation in Jamaica attempted to drink all 21 cocktails on a bar's menu and ended up proving Darwin correct.

Timothy Southern, 53, of Staffordshire, was with family on vacation in May 2022 in Saint Ann, Jamaica. He met a pair of Canadian women at a bar who were trying to complete a 21-drink challenge in order to celebrate a birthday and prove how Canadians can be just as stupid as the British. [H/T ITV News]

Southern already had a head start and had been imbibing brandy and beer before taking up the challenge.

He joined the women and was able to down 12 cocktails before returning to his room at the Royal Decameron Club Caribbean, where he eventually succumbed to his bravado.

In spite of the fact that it was his decision to consume that measure of alcohol, the family blamed the medical treatment he received when they initially saw that he was ill.

"He was on his back choking. I put him in the recovery position and screamed for an ambulance," a family member said, according to an inquest reported by ITV. "He was making a gurgling sound. As soon as he was in the recovery position he vomited. I was shouting his name with no response.

"When the nurse arrived I said had an ambulance been called and she said 'no'. I thought she would take over. But that was not the case. I noticed he was starting to lose temperature. I checked his pulse and couldn't find it," the non-medical family member added.

The nurse reportedly told the family remember that Southern still did have a pulse, and the family member started "to lose it" over witnessing Southern's reported treatment, which probably didn't help the situation.

"I got a full look at his face and I thought he had passed away. I said, 'Don't just sit there looking at him, start CPR'. She only gave him chest compressions. Maybe if she had known what she was doing, maybe he would still be here."

"The service and treatment he received was disgusting," the family member continued in their comment to the inquest, according to ITV News.

A pathologist in Jamaica's capital of Kingston ruled that Southern died from "acute gastroenteritis due to alcohol consumption." The inquest into Southern's toxicology report, however, could take up to three years before it makes it to the UK, according to ITV News.

VP Hahaharris goes straight to politics on 51 illegal alien deaths: attacks Gov. Abbott, not Biden

"No, this is the one for the nose; the other is for the ear"

On Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Hahaharris used the deaths of 51 illegal U.S. border crossers to attack Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's despair and resentment of the Biden administration's ineptness of his mishandling of the border crisis. Specifically, the illegal aliens died after being left abandoned in a big rig in San Antonio, Texas this week.

"How the governor of that state responded really highlights part of the problem because his response when there are 50 dead bodies in his state is to go straight to politics," Harris said in a nasal sounding interview with NPR. "Instead of dealing with the realities of the issue."

The realities of the issue are clear: this administration wants open borders; cartel smugglers are making billions of dollars in delivering them without care for the condition in which they arrive; and besides these deaths, fentanyl is the leading cause of U.S. deaths among people 18 to 45 years of age, and it gets here by crossing our southern border.

Officials are still investigating one of the deadliest human smuggling cases in modern U.S. history and had our sovereignty been respected by Biden and his handler(s), this would have likely never happened because the incentive to come here would be gone.

"These deaths are on Biden," tweeted Abbott Monday night. "They are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law."

What about that statement isn't true?

President Biden mush-mouthed back at Abbott, accusing him of "political grandstanding" after several Republicans slammed the administration’s border policies by merely pointing them out. It's akin to pissing off an Islamist by quoting the Koran and pointing out that Muhammad married Ayisha when she was 6-years-old.

The truth is obvious: they wouldn't come if we didn't have open borders, provide assistance for the migrants, and give them benefits that even some of our military veterans don't get.

Hahaharris said the administration is taking "seriously" the issue of human smuggling which has increased in recent years as smugglers look to turn a profit on one of the most contested issues in the U.S.

Yes, they are taking it seriously, so much so that they hope to get some serious Democratic voters in the process.

"There have been over 2,000 arrests just in the last three months. I think there are at least eight indictments that have happened," she said. "We need to deal with that, right, in terms of the consequences of criminal behavior that results in death."

And yet there have been, and continue to be, record numbers of illegal aliens coming into the country, some of whom are likely to be terrorists since we know they are trying to get here.

Harris, who was appointed Biden's 'Border Czar'  has never visited the border, nor Europe, but tried to lay the blame on the shoulders of the Trump administration, because that's all they have left to say. Based on what Trump gets accused of even since being out of office this long, one would think he's capable of running the entire planet. 

The victims in Monday’s tragic deaths included at least 22 migrants from Mexico, seven from Guatemala and two from Honduras.

Another Clinton Associate Bites the Dust: cause of death not revealed

Another Clinton associate has died, possibly prematurely at 59, but certainly not the only case of early death disorder. Mark Middleton, a former special assistant to President Bill Clinton and finance director of his presidential campaign, died last Saturday, according to his family.

Mr. Middleton was the guy who admitted "suicide victim" Jeffrey Epstein to the White House during the Clinton administration, on seven occasions.  Certainly not as many times as the very Rev. Al Sharpton visited former President Obama, but enough times to cause one to scratch one's head and wonder whether this had something to do with Middleton's death. 

The cause of death has not been revealed but since he was a Clinton associate, you never know.

According to the Daily Mail, Middleton also headed an air conditioning business, one of the largest HVAC providers in Arkansas. He also flew on Epstein’s plane and “appears to have acted as a conduit between the two men,” and this leads one to believe that foul play should not be ruled out, unless he was, say, hit by a truck or something, and if so, one must ask who was the driver of that truck. 

A source, who asked to remain anonymous due to the fact that the Clintons were involved, told DailyMail.com that some of Middleton’s meetings with Epstein happened in room 176 which was in the old Executive Office building, not the White House. But what did Middleton know, and when did he know it? 

Was it the case that perhaps Middleton knew too much? 

The source said that Middleton asked for a meeting room next to the White House mess, which was in the West Wing, so he could impress his guests with his proximity to the Oval Office.

One thing is certain, both Bill and Hillary aren't talking but there's an obvious smug smile on Hillary's face that can mean only one or two things: she knows how Middleton died, or she doesn't.

The source also said that: "Mark was trying to make himself look bigger than he was. He was trying to make himself out like he had more power than he really did in the White House."

Maybe this pissed Bill off to the point where he felt that he had to put Middleton in his place, and that place was below ground. Maybe it was Hillary's doing--let's not forget that smirk.

"Mark knew that Epstein was managing the money of Les Wexner,"  the billionaire founder of L Brands and Victoria’s Secret and a close buddy to Jeffrey Epstein, much like Bill Clinton. Both had made excursions on the Lolita Express to Pedophile Island [aka Orgy Island].

The source went on: "The year 1994 there were midterm elections, Clinton needed money and Mark thought he could get some of Wexner’s money." 

But Middleton’s exit from the White House in February 1995 was a personal disaster for him. The White House accused him of abusing his access to impress his business clients. After an investigation, they barred him from the executive mansion without senior approval. He denied that he had done anything wrong.

While the obituary didn’t declare what the cause of death was, people were asked to donate to a local “counseling and therapy” service.

The Pulaski County (Arkansas) Sheriff’s office said they had not responded to Middleton’s death, and neither had the county coroner, according to their offices. So the cause is not clear, but some believe it may have been a Clinton-assisted suicide.

The Death of a Man Who Felt Like a Friend

Patrick Sky

I'm writing this just about ten minutes after I learned that one of my favorite folk singers, Patrick Sky, had died this past May. It was his version of "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" that helped convince me to joint the Marine Corps. And as I write this, I'm listening to his music with the help of Alexa.

Patrick died at the age of 80. That's a pretty good run--I'm still a few years shy of that--but in spite of saying that, I'm very sad. Very sad.

I cried.

Like I did when my son, Brian, was murdered seven years ago.

Afghanistan school bombing death toll at 50

Kabul, Afghanistan -- It was as predictable as a virtue-signaling leftist using the word "racist" to describe a White person, especially if the leftist is White. Now that Biden has begun the withdrawal of our troops out of Afghanistan, the Taliban has begun the takeover and to show how religious they are, they bombed a girls' school in the capital, killing 50 children ages 11 to 15 years old. 

It was predictable.

The number of wounded is over 100, said Tariq Arian, Interior Ministry spokesman.

There were three bombs planted outside the school entrance and they were set off as the children were leaving for the day. The Taliban denied responsibility and condemned the attack, but the mostly Shi'ite neighborhood points to the Sunni terrorists.

The first explosion was from a vehicle packed with explosives. This was followed by two more, Arian said, adding that casualties could still rise.

Saturday's attack was one of the worst the capital has experienced as criticism over the substantial decrease in security has begun as the U.S. and NATO are almost fully gone from the Afghanistan.

The attack targeted Afghanistan's ethnic Hazaras who are in the majority in the western Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood, where the bombings occurred. 

Most Hazaras are Shiite Muslims, while the Taliban is exclusively Sunni. But thus far, no one has claimed responsibility for the killing of young girls whose only crime was to get an education, an endeavor seen as haram [forbidden] to radical Islamic groups.

The radical Sunni Muslim group has declared war on Afghanistan’s Shi'ites.

Washington blamed Islamic State for a barbaric attack last year in a maternity hospital in the same area that killed pregnant women and newborn babies. These are savages and they need to be destroyed--every last one of them.

Soon after the bombing, angry crowds attacked ambulances and health workers as they tried to evacuate the wounded, Health Ministry spokesman Ghulam Dastigar Nazari said. He begged residents to cooperate and allow ambulances free access to the site.

Bloodied backpacks and schools books were strewn outside the Syed Al-Shahda school. 

In a statement following the attack, the EMERGENCY Hospital said the first three months of this year has seen a 21 per cent increase in war-wounded.

It was predictable.

BREAKING: Prince Philip has expired at 99

Queen Elizabeth will begin eight days of mourning following the death of Prince Philip. The royal family announced the death of the Duke of Edinburg on Friday in a statement. They were married for 73 years. 

Prince Philip was 99.

"It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle," the statement reads.

The British royal family said that it joins "people around the world in mourning his loss," noting that additional announcements will be forthcoming.

The 94-year-old reigning monarch will now halt royal duties. Affairs of state have also been paused and no laws will be given royal assent.

Additional periods of royal mourning are expected to continue following the first eight days. The United Kingdom is expected to go into a period of 10 days of mourning, and the British royal household is expected to extend its period for 30 days.

The royal family is expected to wear the traditional black or at least dark clothing during this time. Once the funeral wraps up, the queen is expected to continue mourning in private while carrying out the royal duties privately.

The announcement of Philip's passing was placed upon the Buckingham Palace gates on Friday but will likely be removed sometime later in the day as per COVID-19 restrictions that prohibits untested paper to be placed upon gates and doors within the community in spite of recent data suggesting that the virus cannot be spread easily through contact with inanimate objects such as paper and gates.

The Duke of Edinburgh had been admitted to a London hospital on February 16th as he was feeling out of sorts. On March 3rd, he underwent a procedure for a heart condition at St. Bartholomew's Hospital and was later transferred back to King Edward VII Hospital two days later. 

Finally, he was released home on March 16th but is now dead as of Friday, April 9th.

Infant boy dead in Manhattan hotel: 2 women charged

An infant boy of 4 months died Saturday. He was found unconscious and unresponsive in the Hotel Pennsylvania lobby. Two women, who are now in custody, will likely face charges regarding his death, NYPD said.

The women, 24 and 26, were trying to boo a room at the hotel, which is located in Midtown Manhattan in the early morning. An employee of the hotel noticed that the infant who was with them wasn't moving and called the police.

NYPD arrived around 1:10 a.m. and the baby, Dominic Greene, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead soon thereafter.

There were no signs of physical trauma but it was observed that both women were almost incoherent when the police arrived. Drugs were later recovered from the scene.

According to investigators, neither woman was the mother of the child, but a report obtained from the New York Daily News stated that one of the suspects was the baby's step-sister and the other was her fiancée.

The love birds will almost definitely face criminal charges which will put a damper on any wedding plans they may have had.

Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias Has Left Us

Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela since 1999, is dead. He was 58 and was fighting cancer and capitalism--capitalism won. Chavez was a thug and he hated America, but Jose Serrano (D-NY) apparently thought highly of him as noted in a tweet that was discussed on The Five on Fox News Network, but has since been deleted. He tweeted about how the Venezuelan dictator was a humanitarian who was loved by his people (if they knew what was good for them). 

Chavez trying out for NY's Guardian Angels of subway fame

Hugo wanted to be a baseball player. I can see him playing for the Yankees in the Bronx, making millions as a beer belly pitcher, and thinking a bit differently about capitalism once he starts raking in the dough, if he had the talent, or complaining if he were dropped if he sucked as a pitcher.

I can see how the left in the USA will somehow make him out to be a great guy. Maybe they'll even have his likeness on a Cha tee-shirt. After all, Time Magazine listed him as in the top 100 influential people in the world in 2005 and 2006, but let's face it, when Time Magazine has Barack Obama as the Man of the Year year after year, when there were several other men who might have fit the bill just as well, I say Time Magazine  has lost its credibility much like the Nobel Peace Prize. Unfortunately for Venezuela, while Chavez was in power, the homicide rate more than doubled and police corruption was rampant. The country also has one of the highest inflation rates in the entire world.

"I love you, man"

Chavez will be loved by the left because not only did Fidel Castro love him, but Mahmoud Ahmadinejad loved him too. And guess what--the saddest part in this news is the fact that Dennis Rodman will never get the chance to visit Hugo, shoot a few hoops and share body-piercing stories.

With the passing of Chavez, a few nice quotes should help us see the man for who he was:
"I hereby accuse the North American empire of being the biggest menace to our planet."
"I am convinced that the path to a new, better and possible world is not capitalism, the path is socialism."

Because of the fact that Hugo Chavez referred to us as the "Evil Empire," and to G.W. Bush as the devil, I am proud to be part of this empire and to have voted for W. It only reaffirms my conservative beliefs to have a thug like Chavez with an opposing point of view.

God Bless America.
