The first fake leg was thrown away by public works employees in March. But the second, which was bolted to a fence in June, is being stored by police.

The contamination is linked to prescription opioids like Oxycontin, Percocet, Vicodin, Xanax or stimulants like Adderall, which are often sold illegally on social media and e-commerce platforms, according to the DEA. The alert does not apply to drugs prescribed by medical professionals and dispensed by licensed pharmacists. These fake pills may contain increased potency of already dangerous drugs and contribute to the overdose deaths, which have hit a record high during the COVID-19 pandemic....

According to a Newsweek report, one-third of Americans do not believe that 6 million Jews were killed. In the age of the internet, despite countless victim testimonies and ample amounts of physical historic evidence, denial continues to spread online. In time for Wednesday’s 76th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) released a report critiquing the efforts of popular social media platforms to combat Holocaust denial on their sites....
Economists, investors and brokers already say that America is heading for, or may already be in, a recession. Despite early signs of recovery and optimistic forecasts in 2021, and an apparent determination to focus on the promising aspects of the country’s economic health, the Biden administration is now seeing warning flashes of further and prolonged pain. However, some have suggested that rather than a more critical outlook, the White House is instead “shifting the goalposts” in its economic analysis....

On Twitter, British YouTuber and writer Paul Joseph Watson posted: “House impeachment manager Rep Jamie Raskin falsely claimed that Trump supporters took part in the ‘burning of a church’ and ‘impaled’ police officers during his speech in the Senate yesterday,” in a tweet that received more than 800 likes and 300 retweets....
Those heading there do so with grim prospects ahead as Putin’s forces continue to lose ground and numbers, despite weeks of brutal missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and power stations. While the Western community has largely shunned Russia’s efforts, enforcing heavy sanctions and providing aid to Ukraine, one social media post suggested a well-known charity was helping to support Russia in its mobilization against Kyiv. The Claim A tweet, posted on October 24, 2022, claims that the “Russian Red Cross confirms it runs campaigns to raise money for families of mobilized Russian soldiers AND professional militaries....

Some parents are seeking to ban certain books from schools that contain what they argue are inappropriate discussions on or references to race, sexuality, and gender. Others defend the content as necessary to the full education of a child. Recently, an illustrated adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary came under review in a Texas school district to see if it meets the new standards set by trustees after it was “challenged” by a concerned local stakeholder....
Lapin, who has been the commander of the Russian Armed Forces’ Central Military District since 2017, was earlier reported to have been removed from his position. This news came after the general was the target of criticism from the increasingly influential coalition of Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the Chechen Republic, and Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary force of mercenaries. Both men are known to be close allies of President Vladimir Putin, but they have been increasingly at odds with the Russian Defense Ministry and military chiefs, amid reports of infighting in Putin’s close circle....
Recent reports claim the seizures could have included nuclear secrets while, as Andrew McCarthy has suggested, it could have involved evidence that might implicate Trump in a criminal conspiracy to disrupt the electoral vote count on January 6. Allegations from early 2022 even suggested that Trump may have destroyed documents while in office. If material was destroyed at Mar-a-Lago, it could carry significant penalties. However, as the former holder of the highest office in government, did Trump have any special privileges which would have protected him, as some have claimed?...

The Canadian psychiatrist who first came up with the figure, despite his admission to us that the statistic is “technically” not a survival rate at all, is also defending the figure as valid and describing criticism of his figure as a “malignant rumor.” The conservative think tank which published the figure also is defending it. We find no merit in these rebuttals, nor do the cancer experts we consulted. A professor of biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University calls Giuliani’s figure “very misleading,” and the chief of urology at a leading medical school calls it “complete nonsense....
The Terriers were as good as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in the 1920s, winning three back-to-back titles. Such a feat was as difficult then as it is now but, since their last game in the top flight in 1972, they have been a forgotten club. In 2003-04 they were fighting in the fourth tier, with future Premier League football a laughable prospect. That long road back to the top came to a head on Saturday as David Wagner’s men beat Reading 4-3 on penalties with Christopher Schindler ending the Royals’ hopes and earning his club at least £170 million in one ice cold moment....
