Scores of state and federal officers on his trail, a $10,000 bounty on his collar, more than 100 days on the run and still the 'armed and dangerous' fugitive, a self-styled survivalist, has evaded police.

"Keep it up Morganelli, I promise I'll put a bullet in your head as soon as I put one in the head of President Donald J. Trump," the fugitive wrote on Facebook back in June, as cited by The New York Times, making criminal threats against the district attorney of Northampton County and the US president - and triggering a major manhunt in the process. The so-called 'Bush Crafter' also threatened to use "full lethal force on any law enforcement officer that tries to detain me."

In a federal warrant issued on June 19, authorities named Shawn Richard Christy, 26, of McAdoo Pennsylvania as the 'armed and dangerous' suspect. Christy already had multiple state warrants out for his arrest for failing to appear in court and aggravated assault and violating probation.

Pope Francis says accused pastors are like Jesus on 'Good Friday'

Bishops who are accused should remain silent like Jesus on Good Friday when the crowds called out for his crucifixion, Pope Francis said Tuesday.

When people insulted Jesus on Good Friday and shouted, "Crucify him," the pope said in his morning homily at the chapel of the Santa Marta residence, "he remained silent because he had compassion for those people deceived by the powerful."

"He was silent. He prayed," Francis said.

"In the same way, the pastor, in difficult times, in times when the devil is unleashed, where the pastor is accused-accused by the Great Accuser through so many people, so many powerful ones-suffers, offers his life and prays," the pope said.

RATP bus driver slaps middle school child

The petition in support of the RATP bus driver has reached over 200,000 signatures (bus image for illustration)

Over 200,000 people (and counting) have signed a petition in support of a RATP bus driver, who has been summoned for disciplinary proceedings after he slapped a "disrespectful" middle school boy.

At the time of writing, the petition has reached over 219,540 names; rising by the minute.

A phone video, filmed in Arcueil (Val-de-Marne, ‎Île-de-France), spread across social media (below), which appeared to show a RATP driver slapping a young boy during a heated discussion in front of a number of buses and other vehicles.

The boy, who is of collège (middle school) age, reportedly crossed the road in front of the bus in a dangerous manner, forcing the driver to brake sharply, endangering the bus passengers. The driver is then reported to have reprimanded the boy on his conduct.

The adolescent is then alleged to have shouted insults back, prompting the driver to get out of the bus, leading to him reportedly slapping the boy.

After the bus driver was summoned for disciplinary proceedings over the issue, his RATP colleagues started a petition in support, fearing sanctions on his behalf.

Lowest ratings ever: Political issues and incessant progressive virtue signalling at the Emmys

Emmy activism: Messages and pins against Brett Kavanaugh, wearing Nike in support of Colin Kaepernick.

Hosts and nominees alike paraded their views on a constellation of political issues - from sexual harassment to Supreme Court nominations - throughout the most prestigious US TV awards. Not many tuned in to watch.

Only 10.2 million viewers, just 7.2 percent of US households turned on their sets to follow the Emmys on Monday night. This is 10 percent lower than last year's figures, which were already the worst-ever, and down from 17 million a mere five years ago.

Yet, just because there is no audience, it doesn't mean actors stop acting - or reflexively airing their political stances.

What you (probably) missed

For at least the third year running, Donald Trump was the elephant in the room, with co-host Colin Jost hoping that the Obamas "get way higher ratings" than the incumbent president's former show the Apprentice. The opening monologue also featured a barb about the first Emmys in 1949 - "when we all agreed that Nazis were bad" - and a joke about Roseanne being "cancelled... and picked up by white nationalists."

Arrested for disrupting Kavanaugh hearing? Don't worry, Soros (who funded the protests) will also pay the legal bills

Protester removed from the Senate hearing on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court

Protesters arrested at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's hearing are being organized by Democrat-linked groups and their legal bills are reportedly paid by activists funded by billionaire liberal financier George Soros.

Photos circulated two weeks ago purported to show activists being paid in cash after disrupting judge Kavanaugh's Senate confirmation hearings. The photos raised speculation over whether the disruptions were grassroots liberal activism or an example of astroturfed 'manufactured dissent,' funded by Democrats.

The latter has now been confirmed, according to conservative news outlet The Daily Caller, which reported that a coalition of left-wing organizations is scheduling interruptions and ponying up the post-and-forfeit bills - a small cash payment of around $50 to resolve the offense and avoid jail time - of those arrested. The organizations named include Women's March, the Center for Popular Democracy, and Housing Works.

Oklahoma's 'family values' senator given 15 years for child trafficking and child pornography

Over a year has passed since Oklahoma state senator, Ralph Shortey was busted for child sex trafficking and now, on Monday, he's finally been sentenced to prison.

U.S. District Judge Timothy DeGiusti handed down a 15 year sentence to Ralph Shortey, 36, who faced sentences of between 10 years and life in prison. DeGiusti also ordered Shortey to serve 10 years of supervised probation once he is released from prison and said he will impose a fine on the former two-term lawmaker at a later date. The fine could be up to $250,000, according to NBC.

In September of 2017, Shortey was accused in a federal indictment of multiple counts of child sex trafficking and child pornography offenses. In November, Shortey agreed to plead guilty to a single child sex trafficking charge in exchange for the three other charges to be dismissed.

The age of consent for sexual activity is 16 in Oklahoma. However, it is against both state and federal law for anyone under the age of 18 to be involved in the commercial sex industry.

As a result, anyone who prostitutes a minor under the age of 18, like Ralph Shortey, can be charged with either child prostitution or trafficking in minors - thus the charge of child sex trafficking.

Body Camera footage, released last year, showed the moment police raided the hotel room occupied by Shortey and his underage victim.

EU regulators to drop legal action against Ireland after Apple pays €13.1 billion in back taxes

European Union antitrust regulators plan to drop legal action against Ireland after iPhone maker Apple paid the country €13.1 billion ($15.3 billion) in back taxes.

The lawsuit was initiated in 2017 by the EU which severely criticized Dublin for moving too slowly in recovering the money.

"In light of the full payment by Apple of the illegal state aid it had received from Ireland, commissioner Margrethe Vestager will be proposing to the college of commissioners the withdrawal of this court action," the European Commission's spokesman Ricardo Cardoso said.

Ireland's finance ministry began collecting the back taxes in a series of payments in May.

Police chief resigns over ties to neo-nazis, gets hired by neighboring police dept

As the Free Thought Project reported last year, a newly-appointed police chief was forced to resign after he was directly linked to a website that promotes international racist skinhead gangs, the Klu Klux Klan, and media titled "Hitler was Right." Now, after the nation learned of his racist ties, this cop has been hired on with another department in Oklahoma.

Bart Alsbrook resigned as interim police chief of Colbert, Oklahoma late last August after a local news agency found he was likely a skinhead white supremacist. Now, however, after he was outed as a racist neo-nazi, he was hired in the neighboring town of Achille.

According to a report from KXII News, the Southern Poverty Law Center released a "hate map" last year, which claimed to track 917 hates groups across the United States. There was only one listed in the Texoma area: a website named ISD Records, which was created by Bart Alsbrook in 2004.

Space detectives: Russian cosmonauts prepare for spacewalk to inspect mysterious Soyuz module hole

The investigation of a mysterious hole in the Soyuz spacecraft has reached a whole new level, as Roscosmos announced that two Russian cosmonauts will inspect the holey module from the outside. While in space, naturally.

Two cosmonauts will cut through the anti-meteorite shielding of the spacecraft in an attempt to find metal shavings and traces of sealant compound on the spacecraft, the deputy Director General of Russian space corporation Roscosmos, Nikolay Sevastyanov, announced on Tuesday.

The space investigation is expected to shed light on the question of where exactly - in space or on earth - the drill-hole was made. The hole in the spacecraft was discovered late in August, when the International Space Station (ISS) started leaking oxygen. Various conspiracy theories blossomed after the incident, ranging from an impact of a micrometeorite to an alien job. It was determined, however, that the hole was actually made by a drill from the inside of the spacecraft.

About three quarters of Russians say they support the idea of banning the use of cell phones and other tech gadgets in schools and believe that children would study better were such measures taken.

The data was revealed by the state-run public opinion research agency VTSIOM on Wednesday. A recent poll has shown that 83 percent of the Russian public think that smartphones and other gadgets distract children during their school studies and badly affect their education.

Some 73 percent of Russians say they support the idea of banning the use of cell phones in schools. The proportion was even higher - at 83 percent - among those who said that their children do not own cell phones and also among those who said that they don't have any children of school age (74 percent).

Comment: Mobile phones don't just pose a very real risk to children's psychological health, but the EMF they, and wifi, emit have been shown to have detrimental effects on their physiological health too:
