Thieves Drained Oldest Living WWII Veteran’s Bank Account, 112-year-old Richard Overton Has Nothing Left

Richard Overton, America’s oldest living World War II veteran, discovered this Friday that his personal bank account had been drained.

The Overton family from Austin, Texas, was devastated when they found out what happened, as they had a lot of their savings on Richards account.

“Someone set up a bogus account, got his Social Security number and accessed his personal checking account,” Volma Overton, Richard’s third cousin, told Dallas News. “This is going to be a setback for Richard. It was a significant amount of money.”

Richard Overton’s bank account had been drained after someone had gotten his bank information and Social Security number, which they then used to purchase bonds.

The bank stated that money had been withdrawn for times from Richard’s account.

“He’s going to be upset,” Martin Wilford, a close friend of the family, told KomoNews. “We are trying to keep him in his home through all types of fundraisers, and someone could just take from him? You’re going to do that to him? Shame on you.”

Luckely, Richard Overton’s compromised account was not connected to the GoFundMe campaign setup to help pay for 24/7 care in his home.

“On behalf of the Overton family, we greatly appreciate any donations to help Richard stay in his home and receive in-home care.” said Richard’s GoFundMe page.

After the unfortunate incident Overton said that “Hopefully justice will be done.”

In May, Richard Overton celebrated his 112 birthday which makes him the oldest man in the United States of America.

The bank has contacted Treasury Direct to see if they can identify who started the account. We hope they catch the despicable individual who did this.

VIDEO: Hero Cop Rescues Toddler Running Alone On Busy Highway

A police officer from Naperville, Illinois was driving along the busy highway when he saw a 1-year-old boy running alone on the street.

The police officer immediately pulled over and gave those of us who honor police another reason for doing so.

Last month, Sgt. Anthony Mannino, a police officer from Naperville, was driving his police vehicle in the right lane on Route 59 when he saw a toddler running south in the right lane, just a feet away from the busy center lane.

Officer Mannino’s dash-cam caught a speeding truck just missing the child as the child seemingly veered toward the center lane.

The dashcam footage shows Officer Mannino stopping in the right lane to block cars from going towards the child, then jumping out of his car and shouting at the child to stop and “come here.”

The frightened little boy, instead, runs away, so Officer Mannino sprints after him, and finally catches him, telling him, “You’re okay; you’re okay,” as he nabs him.

Last week, Sergeant Anthony Mannino was awarded the department’s Life Saving Award, and we all saw that he deserved it.

The Naperville Police Department posted a message on Facebook explaining the event:

Last month, this youngster escaped his mother’s watchful eye, left his house and was found by Sgt. Anthony Mannino running on Route 59! Luckily, no one was hurt, and we attribute that to Sgt. Mannino’s observation while on patrol and quick reaction, placing his squad car and himself between the child and traffic. On June 7, Sgt. Mannino was presented the department’s Life Saving Award. Well done, Sergeant.

The little runner was eventually reunited with his mother thanks to one police officer.

You can watch the video from Sgt. Anthony Mannino’s dash-cam on the link below:

Route 59 is a very busy highway. Cars are speeding fast and situations like these could get tragic really fast.

The cars were driving so fast that no one saw the small boy running beside them. One could only hope that none of the passing cars stopped to help because the didn’t even saw the child.

Luckily, Sgt. Anthony Mannino was driving by, and after he saw the boy, immediately reacted to the situation.

God bless this Police Officer a hundred times over for saving this child. The chances that he could got hit by a car were disturbing. The little boy is so lucky he was saved by the police officer.

After Robert De Niro Cursed President Trump On Stage, Actress Wonders About Reception If It’d Been Obama

During the 72nd Annual Tony Awards on Sunday night, Hollywood star Robert De Niro went out to the stage to present an award, but what happened then surprised most of us.

‘I’m going to say one thing: F**k Trump,’ De Niro stated on stage. ‘It’s no longer ‘down with Trump,’ it’s ‘f**k Trump.”

According to Fox News, in the U.S. the profanity De Niro used was censored, but it wasn’t on the foreign stations.

Actress Alana Stewart was one of the first that criticized her colleague Robert De Niro for his vulgar comment about Trump at the Tony Awards.

Robert De Niro’s speech was met with a standing ovation from the attendees, and Alana Stewart wondered what it would have been like if the same comment was made about former President Barack Obama.

‘Can you just imagine what would’ve happened if an actor had said ‘F…. Obama’ on the Tony Awards?’ she tweeted. ‘[…] So disrespectful to say about any sitting president.’

In the following tweet, Alana Stewart added that she was ‘sorry to see the hate-filled, bitter man that Robert De Niro has turned into.’

Actress Alana Stewart who is also the CEO of the Farrah Fawcett Foundation wrote in his tweet that De Niro came to her house on ‘several occasions’ a few years ago and ‘always seemed nice then.’

The actress acknowledged that everyone is ‘entitled to their opinion’ but added that ‘it’s offensive to many of us to hear that kind of language on live TV.’

Stewart also wondered where all that hate for President Trump is coming from, given what she sees as major accomplishments.

‘And I’m not sure what he’s doing so terrible since unemployment is lowest in 50 years [and] black and Hispanic unemployment lowest in history,’ Stewart tweeted.

Robert De Niro’s comment about President Donald Trump, which was censored on the live broadcast, was met with a standing ovation from theater-loving attendees, but others expressed their distaste for the display online.

Melania Silences All Media Speculation With Her First Public Appearance After Her Surgery

A few weeks ago, The WH released a statement to inform the public that First Lady Melania had kidney surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington DC and would remain there for at least another week.

‘This morning, First Lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. The procedure was successful and there were no complications. Mrs. Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will likely remain there for the duration of the week. The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere.’ The communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement.

On Wednesday, our First Lady made her first public appearance outside the White House with her husband President Donald Trump, on her way to the Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington.

The White House released pool report which reads:

‘Pool glimpsed POTUS and FLOTUS walking out of the White House and stepping into their car at 1:52 p.m. FLOTUS was wearing a long, beige trenchcoat and POTUS a dark suit.’

Another pool report described The First Lady as ‘looking well, like her old self, perfectly healthy from at least her outward appearance.’

First Lady Melania has been recovering from the kidney surgery she had in the middle of May at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Melania underwent a surgery on a benign embolism. Luckily the surgery was completely successful.

In the past weeks, the media has speculated a lot about our First Lady’s whereabouts, floating conspiracy theories that Melania wasn’t at the WH or recovering from plastic surgery.

On Monday, President Donald Trump also attended the celebration for Gold Star families at the White House.

‘American Sniper’ Chris Kyle’s Wife Taya on School Shootings: Parents Need to Teach Children About Life’s Realities

Last Friday, s school shooting occurred at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas, where 10 people lost their lives and many others were wounded, marking it the 22nd school shooting of 2018, according to CNN. The Police identified the shooter as Dimitrios Pagourtzis, age 17, and has him in custody.

During these tragic moments in American history, “American Sniper” Chris Kyle’s wife, Taya Kyle, encouraged everyone to look towards themselves instead of more regulations or the government in an effort to curb gun violence.

Taya Kyle, whose husband was shot and killed, shared her thoughts on Facebook in a statement about how personal reflection can yield itself to finding a solution to the seemingly constant gun violence going on in the United States.

“Could you kill innocent people because you were angry or hurt?” she began.

Taya explained that she has heard some people say that if they had a gun in their car, they may kill someone out of road rage. She added that they already had a car, which can be also used as a weapon, but they didn’t use it to kill someone out of rage.

“You could kill someone. Why don’t you? Why don’t we do that when we are angry? When you are angry with people or a group of people why don’t you make a pipe bomb or an explosive out of a pressure cooker then plot, plan and kill people?”

She proposed the idea that when we find the answer as to “what stops” each of us from acting on that anger, “we will find more of what we need in this world.”

Taya stated that gun violence is a “human,” “moral,” and “values” issue and the influx in school shootings are “an attention-grabbing, cry for help, vengeance, out of control, no regard for submitting to the fallen world we live in, entitlement, expectations issue.”

The Santa Fe suspect reportedly targeted people who had wronged him in the past, including a 16-year-old girl who rejected his romantic advances.

“When did people grow up thinking they were so entitled to being free from pain that when they do feel it they feel someone else or a group of people should pay for it with their life?” she asked.

Taya continued, wondering, when people became “numb to write and wrong,” “stop caring for others more than themselves,” and that “their pain became more important than another human life.”

“Bureaucracy cannot fix the human spirit … This is you and me changing our ways and raising our children differently. This is you and me showing young people the world is hard at times, sometimes for a long time IN EVERY HUMAN LIFE. No one gets through this world without struggle.” she wrote.

Chris Kyle’s wife, Taya Kyle pointed out that it is very important for our children to be taught that “struggle is real” and “expected,” but also that they’re “capable of enduring in the face of adversity.”

“This is every single person in this country looking to themselves, not the government to fix this epidemic disregard for responsibility and human life,” she concluded.

According to ESPN, Watt offered to pay for the funerals of all the victims. In a statement to ESPN, the Texans expressed their condolences to the victims, their families, and everyone who was affected by the High School shooting.

‘We are grateful for the brave first responders, law enforcement officials, and medical personnel,’ the statement said. ‘The Texans family will continue to pray for our neighbors.’

The 17-year-old student Dimitrios Pagourtzis opened fire at the high school in Santa Fe, allegedly targeting everyone who has wronged him including one 16-year-old girl who before that rejected advances from him.

This Sunday is a special day for many women in America. President Donald Trump wished Americans a happy Mother’s Day and shared a heartwarming message about how their “love and courage and devotion” has helped shape this great nation.

“Since the earliest days of our republic, America’s strength has come from the love and courage and devotion of our mothers,” said the President.

“They helped us gain our independence,” he continued. “Through their grit, determination and incredible spirit, they pioneered the West and settled the frontier. During World War II, America’s mothers helped build the greatest arsenal for democracy.”

“So much of what I’ve done and so much of what I’ve become is because of my mother,” he added. “I miss her a lot.”

President Trump’s message comes after first lady Melania Trump shared her thoughts on the holiday during a White House event honoring military mothers and spouses just few days ago.

“As a mother myself, I know what goes into raising a child. It takes an incredible amount of strength, a lot of time, a generous amount of patience, and all of our love. As moms, we are so incredibly privileged to be able to bring children into this world and be a part of helping them grow into adults.”

“Because of the powerful bond between a mother and her child, when they feel emotions, so do we – whether they are happy or nervous, sad or excited, we feel those things with them,” she concluded. “I think it is one of the most powerful and beautiful parts of motherhood.”

After 1 Date, Accused Woman Sent 65,000 Texts To Man And Said She Wanted To Bathe In His Blood

A woman from Phoenix stalked a man she met online after they went on one date. Paradise Valley, AZ – 31-year-old Jacqueline Claire Ades has been arrested for stalking a man she met on a dating website.

KTVK reported that after she had one date with him, she began sending the man up to 500 text messages a day, sending him more than 65,000 text messages. Police reports say that some of those messages were threatening.

Paradise Valley Police Department’s press release show that the incidents began in July of 2017, when the victim called police because Ades was sitting parked in front of his home.

Officers trespassed the woman and told her to leave, the police report said.

Later in December of 2017, the victim called police again about Ades sitting in front of his house, but she left before the police officers arrived.

Another press release said that the man called police again on April 8 to report that he’d seen Ades inside his home on his security cameras, which he was monitoring while on a trip out of the country.

When the police officers arrived at his home, they found Ades taking a bath and immediately arrested her. Police found a large butcher knife on the passenger seat of her car parked outside the victim’s home, KTVK reported.

Police said that she was charged with trespass to a residence, a felony, and released after her initial court appearance.

At that point, the victim spoke with the police again and told them that the text messages became threatening.

“Don’t ever try to leave me… I’ll kill you… I don’t wanna be a murderer!” Ades wrote in one of the messages, according to KTVK.

In additional messages, Ades told her victim she wanted to wear his body parts and bathe in his blood.

“I’d wear your fascia ‘n the top of your skull ‘n your hands ‘n feet,” she wrote. “Oh, what I would do w/your blood… I’d wanna bathe in it.”

On May 4, Ades showed up where the victim goes to work and claimed she was married to the owner, police reports say.

Scottsdale police officers responded after they were called to the scene and trespassed her from the business, sending her on her way.

After they realised who Ades was, Paradise Valley officers started looking for the woman, and arrested her on May 8.

Jacqueline Claire Ades was charged with felony threatening and intimidating, felony stalking, and misdemeanor harassment.

When questioned by police, Ades said that she sent text messages to the victim all the time but he never responded to her. She told them that she didn’t want to hurt him because she loved him so much and threatened him so he would not leave.

Police report says that the victim was not in the U.S. when Ades was arrested but he told police he feared for his life when he returned.

Ades told police that she knew her text messages were crazy and that once released from prison, she would return to Florida.

April Ryan Criticized Melania Trump: ‘This Is a First Lady Who Is Not Culturally American’

This Monday, First Lady Melania Trump announced the title of her mission to help the nation’s youth: ‘Be Best.’

After First Lady Melania revealed her new platform, CNN contributor April Ryan criticized her live on TV saying that she isn’t ‘culturally American.’

CNN host Erin Burnett said that Melania is facing a ‘painful reality’ in tackling the issue of cyber-bullying while President Trump has a reputation for heckling people on his personal Twitter account.

‘She’s well aware of his cyberbullying. He’s considered by some, well many I would say in different sectors, one of the biggest bullies. He will call you out in a moment’s notice and she stood in front of him and basically said she wants to show young people how it’s done and do it right and they will pick up those habits.’ April Ryan told Erin Burnett.

Despite the fact that our current First Lady Melania Trump is an American citizen for over a decade, she continued and told Burnett that Melania will face further issues with her initiative because she isn’t ‘culturally American.’

‘This is a first lady who is not culturally American, but she is learning the ways.’ Ryan said.

‘This is not just an American issue. These are not just American issues. These are international issues. Cyberbullying is an international issue. Social media is international and also the opioid addiction issue, so it’s not just here,’ she added.

To remind the people who always have something bad to say about her, Melania Trump is a native of Slovenia and speaks six languages: French, English, Slovenian, Italian, German, Serbian.

Mrs. Trump is a First Lady who is full of dignity, grace, and class – a more than worthy successor to her predecessors. She’s a role model for the young ladies in the U.S.
