Stephen came all the way from Australia to attend the Sturgis Rally… that’s a long way to come just to get stopped by a Trooper. 😂🚔

Cheers to making the trip safely and driving sober! 🚔

You can do the same. Do not drive impaired!

BOOM! A Christian teacher who was forced out for refusing to use pronouns that violated his beliefs just secured a $650,000 settlement.

Indiana music teacher John Kluge had been allowed to address every student by last name instead of using names and pronouns that conflicted with his religious convictions.

Then the district revoked that accommodation.

Kluge resigned after being told to comply or face termination.

Now the district has agreed to pay $650,000 and provide religious discrimination training to senior administrators.

The district did not admit to wrongdoing, but this settlement sends a powerful message: religious freedom does not end at the classroom door.

Contract negotiations for Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies remain at a standstill, and the frustration inside the department is reaching a breaking point.

In this episode of The Current Report, investigative journalist Cece Woods sits down with Sgt. Tony Romo for a candid conversation about the escalating crisis inside the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Four years after Luna campaigned on “reform,” it’s time to ask:

Where are the results - and who is actually looking out for the deputies and the public?

It is with profound sadness that the Lancaster Police Department, Ohio, announces the passing of Officer Raymond “Ray Ray” Hambel #474.

Officer Hambel passed away unexpectedly on August 9, 2026, at the age of 51.

Ray began his career with the Lancaster Police Department on September 17, 2001, and dedicated more than 25 years to serving the Lancaster community. As one of the senior members of our department, Ray was a familiar face, a trusted coworker, and a beloved member of the Lancaster Police Department family.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻

A deputy police commissioner was supposed to promote public safety. Prosecutors say she helped her son escape after an alleged gang-related drive-by.

Jennifer Lackard, Mount Vernon’s now-former deputy commissioner of wellness, has been fired and charged with attempted murder, conspiracy, attempted assault, firearm possession, and reckless endangerment.

Authorities allege her 20-year-old son, Chase Lackard, fired several shots toward a group behind the Bronx Hall of Justice while his father drove the vehicle.

Wow. Both mayoral candidates are still pushing housing as a solution for a DRUG PROBLEM. Delusional scammers. LA is so cooked. I was the only candidate talking about the real fix, so now you can enjoy Skid Row expanding even more!

It is with profound sadness that Hillsborough County Fire Rescue announces the passing of Lieutenant Donald James Sargent.

Lt. Sargent faithfully served the residents of Hillsborough County and the HCFR family for more than 12 years, most recently assigned to Rescue 15 on C Shift.

He was far more than a dedicated firefighter and paramedic. Lt. Sargent was a father, a son, a friend, a brother, a mentor to many, a member of the HCFR hockey team, and a valued member of our fire rescue family. His commitment to serving others and the relationships he built throughout his career leave a lasting impact on our department.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of red and blood.🙏🏻
