Mom Who Dumped Quadriplegic Son In The Woods Next To A Bible To Face Attempted Murder Charge

For the last two mornings, I’ve woken up from broken sleep in my house on Los Angeles’ east side in a blind panic, the smell of smoke permeating the air. The light slanting in is a horrible, eerie orange, illuminating the white kitchen cabinets like a nightmare projection screen. When I climb onto the roof, the air in every direction is full of dark, low, menacing clouds fed by smoke, blocking out the mountains and trees even just a few miles away.

Our very dear VlogFather, John Amato, lost his home in the great Palisades Fire of 2025. My house is gone. The high winds doomed our community.

I keep singing to myself, "I've got one judge in my pocket." (with apologies to Alanis Morrissette). It's quite simply astounding at how Judge Aileen Cannon hops to when her master calls.

By MICHAEL HILL, MICHAEL R. SISAK and LINDSAY WHITEHURST, Associated Press ALBANY, N. Y. (AP) — New York’s highest court on Thursday declined to block Donald Trump’s upcoming sentencing in his hush money case, leaving the U. S. Supreme Court as the president-elect’s likely last option to prevent the hearing from taking place Friday. One judge of the New York Court of Appeals issued a brief order declining to grant a hearing to Trump’s legal team. Trump has asked the Supreme Court to call off Friday’s sentencing.
