A 29-year-old Upstate New York man was sent to the hospital in serious condition after he was allegedly tased by police officers and burst into flames last weekend, according to reports.

Jason Jones, 29, allegedly walked into the Catskill Village Police Department and a confrontation with police ensued, the Associated Press reports, citing local newspaper the Times Union.

Police Chief Dave Darling said Officers then allegedly tased Jones to subdue him after he had reportedly covered himself in hand sanitizer, according to the Times Union. Jones allegedly burst into flames after being tased, the outlet reports.

Comment: More information from the Times Union:
Jason Jones, a celebrated athlete at Catskill High School more than a decade ago, is in an intensive care unit at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse. His condition is grave, according to people briefed on the matter.

The incident unfolded last weekend when Jones, who appeared intoxicated, walked into the village police department and got into a confrontation with officers. Chief Dave Darling, a former State Police senior investigator, confirmed that officers deployed a Taser to subdue Jones, who was familiar to them from past encounters.

A law enforcement source briefed on the investigation said that Jones had stripped off some his clothing in the police station and doused himself with hand sanitizer in front of officers before they tasered him. The chief declined to comment on that information

Critical Race Theory being taught in American schools has angered many parents. But for one mother, it has led to her becoming a central figure in a nationwide battle that could permanently alter the structure of US education.

Stay-at-home Rhode Island mum Nicole Solas, 38, has become the face of a rebellion against America's influential National School Boards Association (NSBA), which plays a key role in serving approximately 51 million American children. Solas had never heard of the group until five months ago, when she asked if her daughter's state kindergarten taught Critical Race Theory.

Unable to get a straight answer, she began an investigation and opened a hornet's nest, as she explained to RT in early October. Now, she is being sued by America's largest teachers' union and was a key factor in the NSBA issuing a public letter to Joe Biden claiming that parents like her campaigning against CRT "could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism," and also asking for assistance from the "U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service" to reduce the risk of violence.

Several storylines related to the events of January 6 have crumbled under closer scrutiny over the past 10 months: the "fire extinguisher" murder of Officer Brian Sicknick; the notion it was an "armed" insurrection and a grand "conspiracy" concocted by right-wing militias; claims that the building sustained $30 million in damages, and so on.

In the meantime, the Biden regime has attempted to cover up key aspects of that day, including the name of the officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt, which was only recently revealed. Justice Department lawyers continue to resist the release of 14,000 hours of surveillance video and the U.S. Capitol Police refuse to publish an 800-page internal investigation on officer misconduct as well as internal communications before and after the Capitol breach.

But a deep dive by the Washington Post, published last weekend, raises new questions about the alleged "pipe bombs" discovered just before Congress met on January 6 to certify the results of the 2020 Electoral College vote. Like so many supporting scenes, the veracity of the pipe bomb tale is in doubt after the Post revealed eyebrow-raising details about those involved.

Aaron Rodgers, suddenly the face of vaccine hesitation, no longer made much sense as the face of a medical clinic group that wants to encourage everyone to be vaccinated.

Prevea Health, which is headquartered in Green Bay, Wis., dropped the Packers quarterback as a spokesman one day after Rodgers, on "The Pat McAfee Show," ranted against the "woke mob" that has shamed him since it was learned he has refused the COVID-19 vaccine.

"Prevea Health remains deeply committed to protecting its patients, staff, providers and communities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic," the health-care organization said in a statement released Saturday. "This includes encouraging and helping all eligible populations to become vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent the virus from further significantly impacting lives and livelihoods."

Queues formed outside shops in Athens on Saturday (Nov 6) on the first day of new restrictions to curb soaring coronavirus infections which require the unvaccinated to have negative COVID-19 tests.

COVID-19 infections in Greece hit a new daily high almost every day in November, prompting authorities to announce new measures on Tuesday, which also restrict access to cafes and restaurants, state services and banks to those who are either vaccinated or have a negative test.

Those vaccinated against COVID-19 also have to present their vaccination certificates, triggering long lines outside shops in the capital's busiest shopping street, Ermou.

The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals said that the National Institutes of Health leadership should resign, including Dr. Anthony Fauci.

"Our position is clear. ALL those in leadership at NIH, including Fauci, should resign," PETA tweeted on Friday afternoon.

The tweet comes after a White Coat Waste report claimed that more than $400,000 in taxpayer funding was spent on experiments that involved beagles being given an experimental drug, then infested with disease-carrying flies. Fox News has not independently verified whether these experiments took place. NIH provided a statement to Fox News about the report in October. That statement did not deny these types of experiments took place or that NIH funded them.

American Airlines, jolted by mass cancellations last weekend, has offered flight attendants as much as triple their pay to work holiday trips if they also have perfect attendance through early January.

The offer comes just days after American canceled hundreds of flights, many of them tied to staffing shortages of flight attendants. The extra incentives show American is willing to pay up to avoid a repeat.

American said flight attendants and reserve cabin crew members who work trips that fall between Nov. 23 and Nov. 29 or Dec. 22 through Jan. 2 will receive time-and-a-half, according to an internal memo that was reviewed by CNBC. If they also have no absences from Nov. 15 through Jan. 2, they will receive another 150% pay for those peak-period trips.

A North Carolina man is facing kidnapping and child pornography charges after a teenage girl in his vehicle began making emergency hand gestures learned from TikTok helped lead to his arrest.

Laurel County sheriff's deputies on Nov. 4 arrested James Herbert Brick, 61, after receiving a 911 call about a young, female passenger in a silver Toyota who "appeared to be in distress" making hand gestures known on the social media app to represent "violence at home - I need help - domestic violence," according to authorities.

One such video with more than 20,000 views posted to TikTok, a short-form video-sharing app popular among teenagers, demonstrates how those in need of help can communicate that they are in distress without saying anything using hand gestures.

Judge tosses Florida school districts' lawsuit over mask mandate ban

A Florida judge tossed a challenge from several of the state's school districts over the Sunshine State's ban on school mask mandates.

In a 22-page decision Friday, an administrative law judge ruled that officials from six counties failed to prove that the ban was "an invalid exercise of delegated legislative authority."

In a statement, the Florida Department of Health hailed the ruling as
"yet another victory for parent's rights. At this point, the courts have been entirely clear: All school districts must come into compliance with the law and honor parental rights to make decisions for their children."
The ruling is the latest in a months-long battle between school districts and the state which has resulted in some districts losing hundreds of thousands of dollars over their masking protocols.

School officials from Alachua, Broward Miami-Dade, Leon and Duval counties filed the lawsuit in October over the masking rules that took effect in September after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed an executive order allowing parents to choose whether their children should wear masks to school.
