Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten has parole blocked again in Calif. – Fox News

LOS ANGELES — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has reversed parole for Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten, marking the fourth time a governor has blocked her release. A California panel recommended parole in July for Van Houten, who has spent nearly five decades in prison. Newsom reversed her release once previously and his predecessor, Jerry Brown, blocked it twice. Van Houten’s attorney, Rich Pfeiffer, said they will appeal Newsom’s decision. “This reversal will demonstrate to the courts that there is no way Newsom will let her out,” Pfeiffer said. “So they have to enforce the law or it will never be enforced.” LOS ANGELES HAS NOW CROSSED 300 HOMICIDES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER A DECADE In this Sept. 6, 2017, file photo, Leslie Van Houten attends her parole hearing at...

An online petition urging studio personnel to axe Amber Heard from the upcoming Aquaman sequel has received more than 1.5 million signatures.

Ask Amy: Friend favors exclusive group over friendships – The Washington Post

She retired two months ago, and cut off communication with me. The group advocates self-denial and encourages supernumeraries to recruit new members among receptive friends. Nonreceptive friends are discouraged. A year ago, my friend began closing herself off from other unaffiliated friends, but we talked daily, and she still initiated frequent contact. I hung in there. We're old ladies; I was expecting to spend my retirement years relying on this friendship for consolation and companionship. I think I was a good friend, a loyal confidant, and positive counsel. But this group is cultlike in its devotees' self-isolation and distancing from friends and family. I'm agnostic, not interested in joining, but wasn't judgmental. I think her religious counselors finally told her to curtail our f...

Oregon mink farm, staff infected in COVID-19 outbreak – New York Post

COVID-19 has found its way to an Oregon mink farm, where both staff and animals are getting infected, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The USDA’s National Veterinary Service Laboratory has confirmed the presence of the virus in 10 samples it received from the Oregon Department of Agriculture, and the state veterinarian, Dr. Ryan Scholz, put the farm under quarantine until further notice. “We have been engaged with the Oregon mink industry for some time, providing information on biosecurity to prevent the introduction of SARS-CoV-2 and were ready to respond,” Scholz said. “The farmer did the right thing by self-reporting symptoms very early and he is now cooperating with us and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) in taking care of his animals and staff. “So far, w...
