Society's Child
The drugs, with an estimated street value in the hundreds of millions, were discovered last week during a raid on a business premises.
Officers noticed the upper floor of the building was far smaller than it appeared from the outside, and eventually discovered a hidden compartment stuffed with the highly addictive drug, according to a Dutch police press release.
The police wasted no time in incinerating the seized drugs. Meanwhile, the investigation led officers to another warehouse in Utrecht where they discovered 17,500 liters of chemicals used to produce cocaine and other drugs. The inquiry into this extensive drug syndicate is ongoing and police believe the vast trove of crystal meth was destined for export.
One of Martha Crouch's seven daughters told investigators that after one of the family's dogs gave birth, the mother "took the puppies and put them into a giant pot and boiled them, making all the kids watch," according to court documents.
The 17-year-old girl said the horrific incident happened on the same day that her dog Pip was shot and killed by her mom.
San Juan County sheriff's office investigators heard the stomach-churning allegations and others of abuse and neglect when they opened a probe following the arrest of one of Crouch's adult children on assault with a deadly weapon.
Since then, the New Mexico Children, Youth and Family Department has received hundreds of pages of reports with complaints about Crouch and her husband Timothy from social services agencies in multiple states including Alaska, Kansas, Missouri and Montana.
Tiffani O'Brien, of Ontario, Canada, said she fell asleep in an empty row of seats on her short flight home from Quebec City to Toronto. She awoke hours later around midnight still strapped to her seat and all alone on a cold, dark plane.
"It was completely pitch black," O'Brien said in an interview Monday with CTV News. "I thought, 'This is a nightmare, this is not happening!'"
O'Brien said she texted her friend, Deanna Dale, who drove her to the airport in Quebec City earlier that day. Dale told CTV News she called customer service at Toronto Pearson International Airport to tell them her friend was trapped on the plane.
But then O'Brien's phone lost battery power and a "sheer sense of hopelessness" came over her, she told CTV News.
Jean. E Carroll was appearing on Cooper's show on Monday night when he asked her why she didn't like to use the word rape. "I was not thrown on the ground and ravaged. The word rape carries so many sexual connotations. This was not sexual. It just hurt," she said, before things took a turn for the bizarre.
"I think most people think of rape as being sexy - think of the fantasies," Carroll continued, before an uncomfortable Cooper stumbled and quickly cut to a commercial break.
The ordinance, approved by the city's Board of Supervisors, says "no person shall sell or distribute an electronic cigarette to a person in San Francisco" if it has not undergone an FDA review, which no e-cigarette product has.
The ban includes sales made both online and in brick-and-mortar stores and also applies to flavored tobacco products. The use of vapes among people age 21 and older is still legal in the city.
The measure now heads to San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D), who is expected to sign the ordinance.
The good Samaritan found the child, nicknamed "Baby India," after investigating strange cries coming from a forest in Forsyth County, 40 miles north of Atlanta. The find immediately prompted a call to police.
Video shows astonished sheriff's deputies apologizing to the "precious" little bundle as they delicately remove her from the plastic bag in which she was abandoned. It is not clear how long the child was left outside, but she appears to be covered in gore and still have her umbilical cord uncut.
Thousands took to the streets to condemn the conference, which began in the city of Manama on Tuesday with a workshop dubbed 'Peace to prosperity' led by US President Donald Trump's adviser Jared Kushner, who recently unveiled the upbeat economic part of the Israeli-Palestinian peace deal devised by Washington. Taking part are mostly Arab states, as well as the US and European delegations, while neither Israeli nor Palestinian official delegations are present.
Many protesters shouted slogans and carried signs and placards with messages critical of the meeting. "Palestine is not for sale!" they chanted. "From Bahrain to Saudi Arabia we are not tempted by your millions!"

The far-left activist group AntiFa has put up a series of posters identifying Tucker Carlson’s home address with a call to rally against him, alongside posters of other right-wing personalities.
The posters feature Carlson's face blocked out by the AntiFa three-arrow symbol, his home address, the words "Block the Alt-Right," and a description of Carlson as an "Influencer," which reads:
Racist with a huge following and platform, uses it to promote racist dogwhistles.
Carlson is not the only person being targeted by All Out DC. The group also made posters of OANN host Jack Posobiec and Proud Boy founder Gavin McInnes, which it posted alongside stenciled graffiti of U.S. representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar.
The Fox News host wasn't the only figure whose home address was written on the posters. All Out DC also doxed U.S. government official Stephen Miller.
The Hill-HarrisX survey revealed that 19 percent of voters want the US to launch a "limited military strike" on Iran - an action which the Trump administration said it considered but ultimately backed away from last week.
A more hawkish five percent of voters said they wanted the US to outright declare war on Iran, while another 19 percent of voters said they were unsure about what the US should do next.
The majority of respondents (58 percent), however, said they would prefer a non-military response to Iran's shooting down of an American drone last week, which Tehran said had entered its airspace.
Comment: The American people have not had much taste for war since WWII. That hasn't stopped the government from doing what it can to get into wars. It should be obvious that the opinions of the American people matter little to the elites in Washington.
