ENGLAND: Former Cambridge professor Jason Arday was found dead after resigning his position.

As you’ve read, Arday was exposed as a fraud after he was caught plagiarizing and lying about all sorts of things on his resume.

The hopeless woke- mind virus people are screaming racism and that he was “bullied” …

To those saying, “this would never happen if he was white” .. Umm.. Well.. Yeah.. You’re right. If he were white he wouldn’t have gotten a DEI job where NO ONE checked his credentials..

Look, it’s very sad this man is dead. I don’t want anyone to die because they lied about their resume … But, you can avoid online bullies with a simple “CLICK” ..

If you have a public disgrace like that .. Go stay with close friends or family and TURN OFF YOUR PHONE.. This will blow over in a few weeks and people will be on to the “next scandal”

The Public has a very short memory in 2026 ….

NEW YORK: I SHOT THE SHERIFF … HEALTHCARE GUY ..

After two years of legal wrangling and pre-trial shennanigans .. The defense gave up .. Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to killing United Healthcare Executive Brian Thompson..

Mangione told the judge how he made a gun from a 3-D printer and got details of the shareholder meeting schedule by posing as an investment firm looking to invest.

This case brought out some uncomfortable truths about young American adults.. In addition to attracting a harem, Mangione’s reasons for the murder hit home with A LOT of people. The “I can’t get my health insurance to cover my health problems but the Executives make millions” story is one that a lot of Americans have experienced. A decent amount of these Americans think the murder was somehow justified…

Yes, that’s sick. There are other ways to show your anger for the Insurance industry .. But, that is how a lot of people look at it…

ALSO NEW YORK:

BLAME GAME: The Teacher’s Union head, Mike Mulgrew, came down on Mayor Mamdani over the embarassing grades for NY kids. HALF of the third, fourth and fifth graders failed their reading tests….

Umm… You all know I think Mamdani is a clown .. But, the kids are in grades 3-5.. and Mamdani has only been in office 8 months .. If ANYONE should be taking blame, it’s Mulgrew! .. Along with the LAST Mayor (Adams)..

This attack could also be related to the legislation to boost the pay of thousands of paraprofessionals… Mamdani promised the UFT he would pass it …and he still hasn’t signed it and is reportedly considering a veto …

Former NJ Governor set a record for the most expensive portrait in NJ History. $135,000. What a JOKE!! Instead of paying some so-called portrait expert .. Have a contest. Have art students compete. Pick the best. A young artist gets a nice addition to their resume.. and the state gets the portrait FOR FREE !!! .. SEE.. I’m a problem solver !!!

Roads, homes and infrastructure suffered extensive damage, and power outages affected tens of thousands. Floodwaters are now receding, but some neighborhoods remain inaccessible and dangerous. President Trump approved a federal emergency declaration to support Indiana’s recovery effort

KENTUCKY: I think I have two new favorite people …

Self described, “Country Hicks” Delsia Bare and her mother Ida Huddleston initially agreed to sell their plots in Maysville, KY for a combined total of $26.4 million when approached by representatives of an unknown company .. But then they found out the company was going to build Data Centers .. So… She told them, “Kick rocks and don’t come back.”

“If I step off of this piece of property and it becomes something for an AI hub, then I have failed to occupy and I can be held accountable for that on the Judgment hour,”

“No one ever got a hamburger or a steak out of some DATA CENTER”

SWIMMING: How great is Katie Ledecky? She is SO GREAT that the fact she got SILVER in the Pan-Pacific Championships is BIG NEWS. She won silver in the 800 meter freestyle, one second behind Lani Pallister.

Ledecky won the Olympic Gold in 2012 at the age of 15 and HADN’T LOST SINCE !!!!

Let’s give props to Pallister .. Ledecky’s time was her best this season.. Pallister was just one second faster.. Pallister also beat Ledecky in the 400m.. But Ledecky won the 1,500m…

MLB: RIP to legendary pitcher Tommy John.. John was an All Star pitcher mostly for the White Sox, Dodgers and Yankees .. He compiled a 288–231 record with a 3.34 ERA, 2,245 strikeouts, and 4,710.1 innings pitched—ranking among the highest win totals for non-Hall of Famers. A four-time All-Star, he led the league in shutouts multiple times and finished second in Cy Young voting twice…

His name is used ALL THE TIME .. Because of the surgery he had when his elbow UCL went out.. Dr Frank Jobe grafted a tendon from John’s other arm and a year later he came back. he returned in 1976 and won 164 more games—more than before the procedure—pitching until age 46. The operation, now routine for pitchers, revolutionized sports medicine and saved countless careers…..

But.. Shouldn’t it be called “Frank Jobe Surgery” not Tommy John surgery? .. I mean HE did the surgery !!! (Tommy John thanked Jobe over and over again and credited him in most interviews) .. John was 83 ..

RIP to actress Hayden Panettiere … The actress famous for “Heroes” and “Nashville” has died at 36. No official cause of death given the friend that found her thinks heart attack.. Panittiere openly struggled with addiction and depression .. and a devouring mother that put her into show business as a young child. According to Hayden, when she was 19 and asked her mother to stop being her business manager and just be her mom, her mother responded, “YOU OWE ME !!!”

Panittiere had one daughter with her ex Vladimir Klitchko, the former Boxing Champ .. The daughter has been living in Europe with Klitchko since 2018 …
