Apparently, left-handers used to be suspicious for two main reasons:
1️⃣ The word “left” once meant broken, awkward, or unlucky
2️⃣ Society decided, “Yeah… that’s the bathroom hand. Don’t trust it.”

Yes. Really.
History was out here side-eyeing lefties because of toilet etiquette.

For years, being left-handed meant you were considered clumsy, improper, or just plain wrong — literally. Then economists finally stepped in and said:
💰 “Wait… we can sell special scissors?”

And suddenly… acceptance bloomed 🌸
Not because it was fair.
Not because it was logical.
But because capitalism said, “There’s money in them there lefties.”

Progress! 🥳

The good news? Society eventually realized left-handedness wasn’t going anywhere. The bad news? We still have a long way to go before we stop labeling people as “other” for things that are completely normal.

So if you’re a lefty like me — congrats.
We survived superstition, bad scissors, smudged notebooks, and generations of side-eye.
And somehow we’re the ones who were “inferior”? 🤷‍♀️

We’ve come far…
But judging by history, humanity still has some serious rewiring to do 🧠✨

🚨 Hollywood Mystery? The Unsettling Death of Actor Peter Greene 🚨

Peter Greene — best known for his gritty roles in The Mask, Pulp Fiction, and Training Day — was found dead in his Los Angeles home under circumstances that have left a lot of people asking questions.

A neighbor described a disturbing scene to the New York Daily News: Greene was found lying face down on the floor with a facial injury and blood throughout the residence. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

But here’s where things take a turn into true-crime territory…

📝 A handwritten note was allegedly discovered near his body. It read:

“I’m still a Westie.”

That phrase is believed to reference the Westies, a notoriously violent Irish-American gang that operated out of Hell’s Kitchen in the 1970s and ’80s. Greene famously portrayed tough, dangerous characters throughout his career — including real-life criminals — which makes the note feel… unsettling, to say the least.

Friends and colleagues have spoken in the past about Greene’s long struggles with addiction and mental health, and he had stepped away from Hollywood in recent years. Still, the cryptic note and the scene described by neighbors have fueled speculation online.

Authorities have not indicated foul play, but the circumstances surrounding his death — combined with that eerie message — have left fans wondering if there’s more to the story than we’ll ever know.

🎭 A tragic end to a man who built a career playing dangerous characters… and whose final moments now read like something straight out of one of his films.

What do you think — coincidence, symbolism, or something darker? 👀

🚨 NEW IN OHIO: ESCAPED CONVICT ALERTS 🚨

Ohio is rolling out a brand-new “Escaped Convict Alert Program” starting next year — and honestly… this is one alert I do want on my phone.

Just like an Amber Alert, residents will get automatic smartphone notifications when someone escapes from a jail or prison in their area.
Translation: your phone will now politely warn you when a criminal is on the loose nearby instead of you finding out from Facebook comments or a random helicopter hovering at 2 a.m.

And let’s be real — this is actually great.
Because you never know if that loud noise was:
• fireworks
• a raccoon committing crimes
• or an actual escaped inmate 👀

Now Ohio will let us know before we accidentally walk into a “true crime documentary in progress.”

Safety? Awareness? Less guessing?
Yes please. 👏

🧊 MYSTERY AT THE DOLLAR TREE — A DOCTOR FOUND IN A FREEZER 🧊

In what can only be described as one of the strangest and saddest news stories of the year, 32-year-old Helen Massiell Garay Sanchez — a respected anesthesiologist and mother of two — was found dead inside a freezer at a Dollar Tree store in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood. 

Here’s what we know so far:

🕗 When it happened
Employees at the Dollar Tree at 968 SW Eighth Street arrived for routine operations around 8 a.m. Sunday and made a horrifying discovery — Helen’s body inside a walk-in freezer in a restricted stockroom area of the store. 

🚶‍♀️ Her last known movements
Police say Helen entered the store on Saturday night, didn’t buy anything, and somehow gained access to an employee-only section where the freezer was located. Surveillance reportedly shows her heading back there before the store closed — and she never came out. 

❄️ Unusual circumstances
She was found unresponsive and unclothed, leading authorities to speculate about hypothermia or other medical causes, but no signs of foul play have been reported. The death is currently classified as “unexplained” while investigators continue their work. 

👩‍⚕️ Who she was
Helen wasn’t just another headline — she was a skilled anesthesiologist specializing in congenital heart disease, originally from Nicaragua, and deeply loved by her family and community. According to an online fundraiser, her compassion and medical expertise brought hope and healing to countless children and families. 

💭 Questions still unanswered:
• Why did she go into the freezer area at all?
• Was she seeking shelter, disoriented, or in distress?
• Will the medical examiner’s report reveal more?

This incident has stunned not just Miami locals — it’s raised wider questions about public safety, mental health struggles, and how we respond when someone’s final hours remain a mystery.

Congrats, Toledo — we’ve apparently invented a new city sightseeing tour: Find Someone by Digging Through Burned-Down Houses™!

🧨 What happened:
Police were searching the debris of a home on Baden Street in south Toledo that had caught fire earlier this week as part of the investigation into a 63-year-old missing woman, Rinda Brown when human remains were discovered in the rubble on Wednesday. Family members believe the body may be hers, but official identification and cause of death have not yet been released.

💔 Why it’s especially grim for Toledo:
This isn’t the first time remains have been found in the rubble of a burned or abandoned house connected to a missing person case in the area. In December 2022, Toledo police found the bodies of two missing teens in the remains of a burned-down vacant home — a case that later led to arrests and convictions.

I guess arson + bodies is Toledo’s unofficial hobby now? 🙃

🚨 Amazon Data Centers + Ohio + Cancer Concerns 🚨

People near some Amazon data centers in Ohio are raising alarms about cancer clusters — and one big question keeps popping up: what’s happening to the water?

Here’s the CliffsNotes version 💧⬇️

🧪 How nitrates get into the soil (the not-so-fun science):
• Data centers use TONS of water to stay cool
• That heavy pumping messes with groundwater flow
• Existing nitrogen (from farms, septic systems, fuel, etc.) gets pulled deeper and spreads
• Nitrogen + oxygen = nitrates
• Nitrates seep into well water like an uninvited guest

⚠️ High nitrates have been linked to serious health risks, especially over time.

No, the data centers aren’t dumping glowing green sludge into the ground 🙄
But they can stir the pot and make existing contamination worse.

Translation:
👉 Not the spark
👉 But possibly the gasoline

Ohio didn’t sign up to be a beta test for Big Tech.

💥 “Eviction Turned War Zone: The Jed Parkington Standoff” 💥

Whew… this story is absolutely unhinged, even by 2025 standards.

Here’s what went down in Connecticut, and it sounds like a plot twist straight out of a crime doc:

🔹 79-year-old Carmine Boccuzzi was found dead — the medical examiner ruled it a homicide, caused by blunt-force injuries to the head and torso with gagging.
He was renting a room in the home and was listed on the eviction paperwork that led police there in the first place.

🔹 When officers arrived to evict 63-year-old Jed Parkington for not paying his mortgage, everything spiraled.
Investigators say that when the marshal showed up, Parkington shoved his wife outside and told him:
“Take her someplace safe. This is not going to end well.”

🔹 And he wasn’t kidding.
Parkington was reportedly wearing a military-style shirt with a N**i insignia on the collar and appeared to be carrying explosives.
Police released footage of officers inside an armored vehicle taking gunfire from Parkington.
Yes… ARMORED. VEHICLE. Taking. Fire.

🔹 The standoff ended when Parkington died by su***de after barricading himself inside his home on Oaklawn Avenue.

This wasn’t just a tense eviction — this was a full-on domestic battlefield, fueled by hate symbols, violence, and a man clearly prepared for a deadly showdown.



🧠 So the real question is:

How do we, as a society, stop situations like this before they happen?

Because this wasn’t a “snap.”
This was someone spiraling, armed, isolated, financially overwhelmed, and steeped in extremist symbolism — long before the marshal knocked on his door.

We’re dealing with a dangerous mix:
✔️ Mental health issues
✔️ Financial collapse
✔️ Radicalization
✔️ Access to weapons
✔️ Zero intervention until it’s too late

If we don’t start addressing these root causes, we’re going to keep seeing neighborhoods turn into war zones and innocent people — like Carmine — pay the price.

It’s terrifying… and it’s a wake-up call.
Something has to change.

UPDATE:
According to court records, Shawn Gooden, 52, died of natural causes on December 11. Gooden was facing a murder charge in connection with the July death of Warren Taylor.

With Gooden’s death, the case against him is now closed—not because of justice served in a courtroom, but because nature stepped in first.

Many are now watching the remaining cases tied to this circle, including Iesha, wondering if the courts will ever fully untangle the trail of chaos and loss connected to these names. One thing is clear: the damage is already done, and the victims don’t get a reset.

No verdict. No trial. Just another case ending without answers.

Justice delayed… and in this case, completely denied.

🚨💥 The Ana Walshe Case Just Got DARKER — DNA on a Hacksaw, Hatchet & a BLOODY Rug! 💥🚨

Y’all… this trial is straight out of a horror movie.

A forensic scientist just testified that Ana Walshe’s DNA was found on a hacksaw, a hatchet, AND a blood-soaked rug pulled from the trash. Not “maybe,” not “possibly”… her DNA was everywhere.

They said the chance it wasn’t Ana’s DNA on that hacksaw?
39 MILLION to 1.
So yeah… it’s hers.

And then there’s Brian Walshe — Ana’s husband — sitting in court like he’s the victim, even though prosecutors say he:

🩸 Butchered and dismembered her
🧹 Bought cleaning supplies, new rugs, towels & a Tyvek suit right after she “vanished”
🗑️ Threw out bloody items like he was taking out Tuesday’s trash
💰 Believed he’d collect her $2.7 million life insurance payout
⚖️ Thought he’d dodge federal prison time for his art-fraud case if he was the “sole caretaker” of their kids
💔 Snapped after discovering she was having an affair

This man really thought murder was easier than divorce OR prison.

Oh — and prosecutors say Ana may have planned to confront him about the affair.
That confrontation never happened… because she never made it out alive.

Meanwhile Brian keeps claiming he “panicked” after Ana “died unexpectedly.”
Sir… there’s a difference between panic and… hacksaw shopping.

The evidence is stacking up higher than his lies — and this trial is only getting messier, bloodier, and more unbelievable by the day.

Stay tuned. This one’s going to explode.

🚨 BREAKING: Chaos Near JFK Airport After Shots Fired in Road Rage Incident 🚨

Tuesday 12.16.25 morning around 4:45–4:50 a.m. near the Van Wyck Expressway outside JFK Airport’s Terminal 8 area, panic broke out when an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer fired his duty weapon during a road rage confrontation with another driver. 

According to Port Authority Police, the situation began with a minor two-vehicle collision just before 5 a.m. The CBP officer later told investigators that the other driver physically assaulted him after the crash, and in what he claims was self-defense, he fired multiple shots. 

One vehicle — reportedly a Mercedes — was struck by gunfire, but miraculously no one was injured.  The other driver fled the scene before police arrived, and as of now no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing. 

Traffic on the southbound Van Wyck was temporarily closed, causing major delays for travelers heading to JFK.

😨 Just imagine being a traveler in your rental car or shuttle at that moment: suddenly hearing gunshots near one of the nation’s busiest airports. This could’ve turned deadly so fast — and it still raises pressing questions.

👉 Was this really road rage?
Right now authorities are treating it as such — but whether things escalated beyond what was necessary (especially involving a firearm) is exactly what investigators will be focused on.

👉 Did the customs officer fire first?
He claims he acted in self-defense after being assaulted, but that’s part of what cops are sorting out. Nothing has been ruled official yet.

👉 Throwing your life away?
No matter who’s in the right, pulling a gun in a traffic dispute — especially near a crowded airport — is a terrifying choice with potentially tragic consequences. Thankfully everyone walked away today, but luck isn’t a strategy. Stay aware out there. ✨

Dee Warner Case Possible Conflict:

📌 What the sheriff was asked

Recent reporting notes that investigators asked Lenawee County Sheriff Troy Bevier whether Detective (or Investigator) Greca is thought to have had any relationships with anyone involved in the Warner case and whether his retirement was connected to the case. Sheriff Bevier declined to answer, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. 

📌 Is there any public allegation?

There are online rumors and commentary in non-mainstream sources alleging that Greca had a personal relationship with someone connected to the case (for example, dating a relative of someone connected to the Warner circle), but these claims are not from verified news outlets or official statements and should be treated as unconfirmed speculation.

🚨 IF this is true… it could seriously shake the Dee Warner case 🚨

Sheriff Bevier was asked whether former investigator Greca had any personal relationships with someone connected to the Dee Warner case — and whether his retirement was tied to it.
He declined to answer, citing the ongoing investigation.

Now let’s be clear: nothing has been confirmed.
But IF an investigator had a personal or romantic relationship with anyone tied to this case, the legal implications could be huge.

Here’s why 👇

⚖️ Conflict of Interest
Law enforcement officers are required to be impartial. A personal relationship could raise serious questions about:
• Evidence handling
• Investigative decisions
• What leads were followed — or ignored

⚖️ Credibility Issues
Defense attorneys would absolutely use this to argue:
• Bias in the investigation
• Unreliable testimony
• A compromised chain of events

⚖️ Motions, Delays & Appeals
If proven, this could lead to:
• Evidence being challenged or suppressed
• Lengthy delays
• Grounds for appeal — even after a verdict

⚖️ Public Trust Takes a Hit
The Dee Warner case has already shaken this community. Any suggestion that an investigator crossed professional lines would only deepen doubts about whether justice was handled cleanly and transparently.

Right now, this remains speculation, and speculation is not evidence.
But the fact that the sheriff wouldn’t answer at all? That’s exactly why people are asking questions.

⚠️ Concern Growing: Bedford High Staff Misconduct Investigation & Coach Resignation

The Bedford City School District (BCSD) recently confirmed that “several” employees — including staff at Bedford High School — have been placed on administrative leave amid allegations of serious misconduct. 

According to the district’s statement, the investigation is ongoing and may involve external investigators. 

In response to the uncertainty and lack of transparency, students staged a walkout at Bedford High — clearly signaling frustration and demanding answers. 

Parents later filled a school board meeting, many voicing anger over what they described as a frustrating lack of communication from the district. 

One staff member reportedly resigned following a parent complaint about inappropriate social-media contact with a student — a development that has contributed to the broader concern around staff conduct at the school. 



Why this matters:
• Families are being left in the dark about what exactly “serious misconduct” means.
• Students and parents are demanding transparency, accountability, and assurance that school is a safe environment for all.
• The resignations and leaves raise questions about oversight and whether proper procedures were followed — including whether prior issues were disclosed before hiring.

We deserve clarity on what happened, who is involved, and what the district is doing to protect students.

Let’s continue to push for transparency, accountability, and — above all — safety for our community’s kids.
