A Florida state senator filed a bill that would allow selected convicted criminals to enlist in the military in lieu of serving jail or prison time.

Florida Senator Darryl Rouson filed Senate Bill 1356, which would allow defendants who are 25 years old or younger to apply for enlistment in the military instead of jail time. Potential applicants must not be habitual offenders or be facing longer than 4 years in incarceration to qualify to choose military service.

The bill will not allow defendants to choose military service if the primary offense committed doesn’t require a mandatory minimum prison sentence.

Applicants for military service must earn a “minimum acceptable score” on the ASVAB test and complete both basic training and their first term of enlistment. All fines relating to the charges will be required to be paid by the end of the first term of enlistment.

Florida Representative Patricia Williams also filed a similar bill in September, according to. Florida’s 2022 legislative session will begin on Jan. 11.

Some unwanted visitors have forced around 200 staff members and 420 prison inmates to be relocated from the Wellington Correctional Center in New South Wales. The unsanitary guests have infiltrated the entire building causing extensive damage.

What caused hundreds of hardened criminals to go running at the first sight of these new residents? A plague of mice that have ravaged the land of eastern Australia. Now, these inmates must take shelter elsewhere for the next 10 days while some major cleaning and repairs take place.

“The health, safety and wellbeing of staff and inmates is our No. 1 priority so it’s important for us to act now to carry out the vital remediation work,” Severin said.

The remediation work at the prison will include investigating ways to protect the facility from future mice plagues, which are a phenomenon largely unique to Australia.

Plagues usually happen when rain follows several years of drought. The current plague is the worst that many can remember in some areas.

Severin said the mice infestation was worst in prison buildings that weren’t built from concrete.

“The mice have got into … wall cavities, into roof spaces. They’re dead but then they start obviously decaying and then the next problem is mites,” Severin told Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Millions of mice have caused destruction in the grain-growing region of Australia’s most populated state for several months now, munching on crops and haystacks as well as nesting in homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, and prisons.

Generally, the most common complaint about this modern-day plague is the ever-present smell that comes with mice infestations, such as urine and decaying flesh. Some people even claim to have been bitten by mice while sleeping in their beds. Mouse carcasses and excrement in roof guttering are polluting farmers’ water systems and causing illness.

According to researchers, mice numbers will soon begin to plateau as the species always stops breeding during the Southern Hemisphere winter but numbers could explode again if the weather is right in the spring.

A disturbing video shows a suspected human trafficker going into a fit of rage after being taken into custody in Carrizo Springs, Texas.

Journalist Ali Bradley posted the footage to her Twitter account Monday, which shows a suspected human trafficker, handcuffed and sitting in a border patrol van in a Texas town 45 miles north of the border.

The video shows border patrol agents asking the suspect to get inside the van so they could shut the doors. The woman suddenly went into a bug-eyed rage.

Border Patrol agents asked the suspect several times to calm down but instead, she began to make loud animal-like growling noises. The agents continued to ask the woman to get back into the van to avoid getting hurt.

At one point an agent could be heard saying “we are going to have to tase you; you aren’t going to like that.”

The only intelligible words the suspect spoke were in response to the taser comment when she said in an evil growl “I don’t understand what you’re telling me,” as she was gripping the door of the van.

There was a record number of illegal migrants that crossed into the U.S. in 2021, with immigration officials recording more than 1.7 million apprehensions from September of 2020 through September of 2021, and the numbers continue to surge.

“Late-night regulars” such as David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon haven’t said a peep about the myriad goofs of the Biden administration, but late-night staple Larry the Cable Guy has been eager to do the dirty work.

On August 15, as the situation in Afghanistan continued to deteriorate, the veteran of Blue Collar Comedy made quickly shot back, “Our country’s leadership right now reminds me of a wal-mart on Black Friday when only 2 cashiers are working and no one can find a manager.”

Responding to a post about the U.N. ambassador’s comment that due to “a very strongly worded press statement” the Biden admin, “[expects] the Taliban to respect women’s rights” and ” be respectful of humanitarian law,” Larry cracked, “Nothing scares terrorists more than a strongly worded press statement.”

He also retweeted the video of Daily Wire contributor Matt Walsh shaming a Nashville public school board for requiring schoolchildren to wear face masks. The same video that landed Carrie Underwood in dire straits with the left after she “liked” it on Twitter.

Larry, whose real name is Daniel Lawrence Whitney, is certainly no hack, regardless of his political leanings. He enthusiastically lampoons the right side of the political divide, poking fun at Mike Pence, quipping, “Wait… I thought Pence was the first humanoid robot,” while recounting a narrative about the new robotic technology invented by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

A Las Vegas woman shouting “let’s go Brandon” was arrested at McCarran International Airport over the weekend after refusing to wear a mask and causing a ruckus onboard an Allegiant Air flight, authorities said.

While at a security checkpoint in the airport another passenger confronted Katrina Alspaugh, 51, for not wearing a mask, according to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police arrest report. It was alleged in the report that Alspaugh appeared as if she were about to punch the passenger that had approached her.

Even though Alspaugh was uncooperative with the officers, she was eventually released because the other passenger chose not to press charges.

Police were called again when an Allegiant Air employee removed Alspaugh from the flight after she caused a disturbance.

On the jet bridge, Alspaugh allegedly became belligerent with officers who told her to leave because she no longer had a ticket. When officers warned her she would be arrested, she “loudly began yelling ‘f—‘ and ‘Let’s go, Brandon,’” causing a further disturbance that ultimately resulted in her arrest.

Alspaugh faces a misdemeanor charge of public conduct at an airport.

Since January, there have been 5,240 unruly passenger reports, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and of those 3,798 have been mask-related incidents.

The agency has been proposing fines against passengers who assault, threaten, intimidate or interfere with airline crew members. Under the FAA’s Reauthorization Bill, the agency can propose up to $37,000 per violation as a repercussion.

Abortion activists stormed Pastor Joel Osteen’s church service on last weekend in Houston, Texas, by striping off their clothes and shouting “my body, my choice!”

“My body, my f—ing choice,” one activist with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights is heard chanting in the church as she removed her dress, leaving on her underwear.

“Overturn Roe, hell no,” another activist yells as she removes her clothing. Three women joined in the protest by stripping down to their under garments.

MORE OF THIS 👏👏👏@tx4abortion disrupted @joelosteen earlier. EVERYONE who is applauding these young women needs to join this movement. YES YOU.

The activists are members of Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, a group that has spoken out against the potential of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade after a leaked draft judgment last month.

“I know it seems very outrageous to do it in a church in a private space,” one activist said of the protest. “However, the people that are enforcing these laws have no qualms coming up to women in private spaces such as doctors’ offices and medical clinics to harass them and call them murderers.”

The video of the protest has already gained thousands of views.

“Joel Osteen has an international audience and silence is violence when it comes to things like these,” the activist said. “We have a very unprecedented and very short amount of time to garner the attention that we need to get millions of people on the streets, millions of people doing actions like we were today.”

The Supreme Court released several decisions this week but there was no mention of the case that could overturn Roe.

A father from Georgia is facing criticism for disturbing videos that he posted to social media of him disciplining his teenage daughter.

Andrew Eugene Anderson, of Gwinnett County, can be seen in the video with his wife, as they confront the young teen and accuse her of stealing and running away.

At one point Anderson pins his daughter to the garage floor with his knees and locks her arms down so she can’t move. The teenage girl is screaming and begging her father to get off but all he says is, “I’ll go to jail about you,” and “You think you can handle yourself?”

The father defended himself on Atlanta’s WSB-TV saying that the videos might look bad but they “look a lot worse than what they really are.” He doesn’t regret his actions but he says he regrets putting the videos on social media.

You can find pieces of the video on Youtube and they are really quite sickening and scary. The father is berating and cussing at his child then physically pins her to the floor. I would be shocked if this man isn’t charged with child abuse.

“I don’t regret anything that was seen on video, but I do regret broadcasting the video to other people,” Anderson said. “We had our reasons for doing it because we wanted to kind of present information to her followers that are aiding her in giving her a place to stay because they are misinformed.”

Gwinnett County DA Danny Porter said that it’s too early to talk about pressing charges against the father but confirmed the incident is under investigation.

Anderson argues that he has “never” abused his daughter.

“I didn’t sit on her. I didn’t put my weight down on her at any time in the video. I strictly used my knees to kind of lock her arms in while I was holding her arms to the side,” he claimed. “I’ve disciplined my child before. I’ve never struck her in the face.”

The teen is currently staying with family members.

A happy couple was reciting their wedding vows to one another in Glacier National Park in Montana when they were interrupted by a grizzly bear attacking and eating a moose calf nearby.

Wedding videographer Stanton Giles captured the savage attack and then posted it on Youtube where it was seen about 10,000 times.

“A wedding ceremony was taking place on the shores of Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park, when, through the groom’s vow, a grizzly charged from brush on the north shore and attacked a moose calf posing as the mother.” The video is captioned.

According to the National Park Service (NPS), grizzly bears are omnivores and at least 90 percent of their diet consists of grass, berries, and insects. What they eat may change with the seasons.

“They will also eat large and small mammals, fruits, bark, roots, and mushrooms, if available,” NPS officials said.

In the video, the camera is focused on the groom when a blood-curdling cry can be heard in the distance.

“And that’s why we didn’t go to the North Shore, ladies, and gentlemen,” one of the guests can be heard saying.

The bear continued to devour the moose as the wedding party and guests commented on what they were seeing.

Giles said in the video description that he had seen the moose and the calf moving quickly through the woods about 10 minutes prior.

“The bear must have been chasing them at least for a while,” he said.

The viewers were surprised by what was captured during the wedding.

One viewer wrote, “Crazy you captured this mid-ceremony.”

“Now the question is how do you include a moose being eaten by a bear in a wedding video,” commented another.

“What an omen,” wrote one viewer.

After the fall of the Afghanistan government, the Taliban sent an ambassador to represent them in the United Nations. Their mission is to request that world leaders officially recognize their authority.

Afghanistan’s current U.N. ambassador is Ghulam Isaczai, previously assigned by the former government supported by the U.S. military. The Taliban nominated Suhail Shaheen as their representative and requested that he would be allowed to address the assembly.

Biden is in hot water for the way he coordinated the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. He persuaded everyone to go along with the exit he claimed would be “safe and orderly,” but it was instead chaos and disorder. During the confusion, 13 U.S. service members and nearly 100 Afghans lost their lives in a planned bombing. When the dust cleared on August 31, approximately 100 Americans and tens and thousands of Afghan refugees were left abandoned in Afghanistan.

Biden and his team declared that the U.S. was prepared for the Taliban to take over as violently as it did but many wonder if the White House was underestimated the Taliban’s power.

“I don’t think anyone assessed that they would collapse as quickly as they did. Anyone – anyone in this room, anyone anywhere in the world,” Psaki responded. “If you have anyone who did I would be surprised.”

It’s been reported that U.S. intelligence officials cautioned President Biden that the Afghan government could fall in a matter of days, but the administration ignored all warnings.

The Biden administration attempted to pass the blame for the catastrophe to former President Donald Trump’s administration as well as to the Afghan government itself. Biden maintains that Trump failed to enforce the conditions of his peace agreement with the Taliban and argues that the Afghan military did not take appropriate actions to assure the survival of their government.
