The jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse case is already on its second day of deliberations

  The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations. The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations On Wednesday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, jurors began their second day of deliberations in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. The jury deliberated all day Tuesday without reaching a decision, and they notified the court that they would return in the morning to complete their investigation. In the August 2020 shootings in Kenosha that killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and injured Gaige Grosskreutz after a tumultuous night of protests following the police death of Jacob Blake, Rittenhouse faces five felony counts. Rittenhouse, then 17 years old, maintains he was acting in self-defense. He stated that he traveled to Kenosha equipped with an AR-15 like weapon to assist with the protection of local businesses and to offer first aid. Last week, he testified in his own defense, breaking down in tears when...

Stanley Johnson has indeed been accused of touching a Tory MP inappropriately


Stanley Johnson, the prime minister's father, is accused of improperly touching a former cabinet member and a leading political writer.

Johnson slapped her on the bottom in 2003, while he was vying for the seat of Teignbridge in Devon, according to Caroline Nokes, the chairwoman of the women and equalities committee.

Johnson had "groped me at a party during the Conservative conference in 2019," according to Ailbhe Rea, political writer for the New Statesman, who expressed gratitude to Nokes for coming out.

When asked by Sky News, Johnson said he had "no recall of Caroline Nokes at all." On Tuesday, Home Office minister Damian Hinds said a probe into the accusations should be carried out "if that is the proper course of action."

On Sky News, Nokes, the MP for Romsey, was part of a panel debate with other MPs. "In Strangers' Bar [in parliament], I've had male MPs stick their hands on my behind," she claimed.

I recall a well-known man – at the time the Conservative candidate for Teignbridge in Devon – patting me on the behind and saying, 'Oh, Romsey, you've got a nice seat.

"I'd be in my early 30s, so I'd be old enough, old enough to call it out... It is now a responsibility, an absolute obligation, for me to call out everywhere I see it. Be the obnoxious, irritable, and confrontational lady in the room because if I'm not willing to do it, neither will my kid... You do reach a point where you say to yourself, "Up with this, I'm not putting."

"Stanley Johnson also molested me at a party during the Conservative conference in 2019," Rea tweeted after Nokes' interview. Caroline Nokes deserves credit for raising attention to something that none of us should have to put up with, especially from the prime minister's father."

Johnson, 81, tried unsuccessfully to become a Member of Parliament in 2005. "I have no recall of Caroline Nokes at all – but there you go," he told Sky News. And there has been no response... "Good luck and thanks," says the narrator.

Boris Johnson's spokesperson said he couldn't comment on specific examples, but that Downing Street would urge anybody who had been harassed to come forward and report it.

He stated, I'm not going to get involved in particular claims against a private individual. Of course, we want anyone in any situation who believes they have been the victim of harassment to feel free to come forward and report it to the relevant authorities.

Three additional prominent MPs spoke on the Sky News panel about their perspectives as lawmakers on what improvements should be taken to stop sexual harassment and violence. Labour MPs Jess Phillips and Rosena Allin-Khan, as well as Conservative MP Fay Jones, spoke about their personal sexual harassment experiences.

Senior bosses harassed Phillips and Allin-Khan in their former positions, according to both of them. Phillips, who is the shadow minister for domestic abuse, said she was assaulted at a party by a former boss.

Jones, who was elected in 2019, said how she was 17 years old when she was flashed at by a guy.

The administration, according to Hinds, is dedicated to making life safer for women and girls. "Obviously, I don't know about the... "I learned about this, about these charges this morning, as you have, or overnight," he told Times Radio.

I can say that, overall, the government places a high focus on women's and girls' safety and freedom from harassment, whether they are at home, at work, on the street, or online.

"But I'm not making a connection between that and this because we don't know," she says, "but if there is a need for an inquiry, then that will be done." Of course, if there is a need for an inquiry, and if that is the proper course of action, it will be conducted".

Donald Trump due to the wave of immigrants coming across the Mexican border poisoned the United States

  Former US President Donald Trump said the United States was "poisoned" by the wave of migrants coming across the border, and called for the resumption of construction of the border wall with Mexico Our country is poisoned by the millions of people who illegally stream across our borders, and in most cases have not been questioned or stopped,” Trump said in a statement. "Many of those who streamed across the border are criminals from prisons that have been emptied in other countries, and most of them are very dangerous people," he said. And he added, "Our country is dying from within, and no one is doing anything to help it. The first thing that must be done quickly is to complete the wall." An agreement must be made with Mexico so that it can act as a barrier over 2,000 miles, and not as a springboard for illegal immigrants," he said. Trump also raised concerns about moving Afghan allies to the United States after the Biden administration withdrew f...

Walmart warns its customers of potentially fatal products and calls on them to return them immediately

  Walmart stores have called on all of their customers not to use an aromatherapy spray product after finding a "rare and dangerous bacteria" that can cause a fatal condition, as investigators are looking into two deaths so far. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tested Walmart's essential oil-infused aromatherapy spray with gemstones and found Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria, which can cause a potentially fatal condition called melasma. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the CDC is investigating four confirmed cases in Kansas, Minnesota, Texas and Georgia, along with two deaths, including the death of one child.

The CDC advises consumers who use the aromatherapy spray to immediately stop using the product, place the bottle in clear reusable bags, place it in a c...
