A 68-year-old Minnesota woman who had been missing for three days was found alive over the weekend, nearly submerged in a puddle of mud in the woods. Kathryn Jane Woessner of Alexandria was located west of Backus, about 80 miles from the city where she lives, NBC News reported. She had last been seen on June 3. Two off-road riders found her on June 6. They had decided that morning to skip their usual route and try a trail one of them had never mapped in his life. That decision is the whole story. A missing woman was found in a Minnesota puddle of mud where she told her rescuers she had been stuck for days. https://t.co/sMsUivC6k5 — World News Tonight (@ABCWorldNews) June 12, 2026 Adam Sandbeck of West Fargo, North Dakota, and his friend Mike Gravalin normally ride their own machines and stick to familiar paths. On June 6 they climbed into one rig together and went looking for new trails. On one of those trails they came across a minivan stuck in a mudhole. As they got closer, they saw a woman lying on the ground next to it. Here is how the men described what she told them, according to ABC News: A missing woman was found in a Minnesota puddle of mud where she told her rescuers she had been stuck for days. Kathryn Woessner, 68, was last seen on June 3 before her rescuers found her on June 6, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Woessner did not have any personal belongings with her, according to the sheriff’s office. Woessner told the men who rescued her that her car was stuck and she was trying to get out when she went around to the other side, slipping and falling into a puddle that was probably 2 feet deep, according to Mike Gravalin and Adam Sandbeck, the two men who saved her. Woessner told the men the mud was like quicksand, they told KSTP. Woessner told the men she had been stuck on her back for days and she was seriously sunburned on her face, Gravalin and Sandbeck told KSTP. Due to her medical conditions, she was taken to Essentia Health- St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Brained, according to the sheriff’s office. She was conscious when they reached her and saying, “Help me,” according to Valley News Live. The men pulled her to a safer spot and called 911. They gave dispatchers GPS coordinates from the Polaris Ride Command system so paramedics could find them on the remote trail. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed she was found alive. Because of her medical condition, she was taken to Essentia Health-St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Brainerd. Sandbeck kept coming back to how strange the day was. He told People that almost nothing about that ride was normal for them: A missing woman has been brought to safety after three days thanks to two men who discovered her stuck in the mud as they were riding down a remote Minnesota trail. Speaking with the Enterprise, Sandbeck and Gravalin shared that they had opted to take different path than they usually ride. “What’s so crazy about how that all happened is we usually take our own machines. We usually have two machines. We usually stay on the routes that we’re familiar with,” Sandbeck told the outlet. “We’re usually going through pretty fast because we like to slip and slide around. But, for some reason, I decided to ride with Mike.” “And for some reason, we decided to go and try to find new trails. And for some reason, we went down that trail,” he continued. Sandbeck told WCCO, “I have never mapped that trail in my life ever.” He added, “We changed everything how we do everything, for some reason. And it had to be God, it had to be.” The rescue hinged on decisions the men still cannot fully explain. A different machine, a different trail, and a half-formed decision to turn down an unfamiliar path made the difference between another missing-person notice and a woman coming home alive. Three days on her back in the woods, sunburned and stuck in mud she compared to quicksand, with no belongings and no way to call for help. She was running out of time. Two men who almost never break their routine broke all of it on the one day it counted, and found her with enough strength left to whisper. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

As home to both the tech mecca of Silicon Valley and the entertainment capital of Hollywood, California has had a fairly easy time keeping a stranglehold on major corporations. But as rising taxes and other leftist policies cut deeper into their bottom lines, an increasing number of the nation’s largest companies are fleeing the Golden State for greener pastures. And the trend has escalated to the point that California is no longer home to the largest number of Fortune 500 firms. Fortune reported on the shift: Everything’s bigger in Texas—including the companies. The Lone Star State is now home to the most Fortune 500 companies, dethroning California as the capital of the Fortune 500.  The state’s 57 Fortune 500 companies ranked roughly $2.8 trillion in renevue last year, compared to California’s 56 businesses and roughly $2.7 trillion revenue. New York comes in third with 53 companies and $2.2 trillion.  In recent years, Texas’ anti-regulation and low tax policies have attracted companies including Tesla, McKesson, and Oracle to move their home bases to the state. Still, Texas remains second to the Golden State when it comes to profits and market value.  The state has long been home to Fortune 500 staples such as Dell Technologies, Exxon, and AT&T, and the companies span across the state. Houston is home to 25 Fortune companies such as Chevron, Sysco, and Phillips 66. Dallas is home to 11 companies, including AT&T and CBRE Group. The capital, Austin, which has emerged as a major tech and finanicial hub is home to just two Fortune 500 companies: Tesla and Oracle.  Here’s some social media commentary on the California exodus: Bruv really… This was obvious in the 90s when semi, software, gaming, fracking, and big finance all started blowing up in Texas at once and CA / NY started going full fukin retard with political correctness (that's what they used to call woke) , insane housing, etc pic.twitter.com/EaHIhoAtUp — McLovin (@McLovin_Bish) June 9, 2026 It extends far beyond big corporations, as ordinary Californians realize that there’s a better, more affordable alternative: They moved from California to Texas and tracked the difference in their monthly expenses. From 2022 in California to 2026 in Texas: Electric bill:CA: $511TX: $346 Water bill:CA: $448TX: $140 Gas bill:CA: $175TX: $239 Car registration:CA: $830TX: $75 Gas for their… pic.twitter.com/DQcFz17uRo — Financial Dystopia (@financedystop) June 13, 2026 THE CALIFORNIA EXODUS.

For comparison, an estimated 297 million Americans remained in their same residence year over year, while about 29.9 million moved somewhere new but within the same state. Some states were more attractive to movers than others, the data shows.  Receiving the most movers from a different state in 2024 was Florida, which gained about 574,000 new residents. Only one other state, Texas, received more than half a million out-of-state residents, at roughly 556,000. Later in the same article: Some of the states that saw the largest influx of out-of-state movers also said farewell to the most residents.  The “California exodus” appeared to continue in 2024, with the Census data showing an estimated 661,000 people left for another state. The largest chunk of those leaving California, roughly 77,000, went to Texas, according to the data. Here’s some additional commentary: David Friedberg Says California is Seeing a Mass Exodus of Tech Leaders “Probably a third of people I talked to have already left … and in a survey we did informally … close to 87% of people are going to leave. These are the core leaders in tech.” pic.twitter.com/iuocW51cpZ — Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) April 11, 2026 What are your thoughts?

A celebration outside Madison Square Garden turned into a crime scene after Game 4 of the NBA Finals. NYPD says a group approached a 17-year-old near 237 W. 35th Street after the Knicks game, got into an argument, and one person punched and kicked the teen. The department is now asking for help identifying the suspect: WANTED FOR GANG ASSAULT: On Wednesday night after the Knicks game, a group approached a 17-year-old near 237 W 35th St and got into an argument. This individual punched and kicked the teen. He had a seizure and was in a coma. Any info? DM @NYPDTips or call 800-577-TIPS. pic.twitter.com/DNg0AzIesN — NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) June 12, 2026 The police description is blunt. The teen suffered a seizure and went into a coma. Fox News included the NYPD condition line and the family’s recovery update: “He had a seizure and was in a coma,” “He’s pulling through. He is responding,” Fox reported the teen has since come out of the coma and is listed in critical but stable condition. The New York Post tied the violence to a livestreamed Midtown brawl after someone yelled “Spurs in 7.” The outlet’s post put that alleged provocation front and center: Teen beaten into coma by brute bellowing 'Spurs in 7' during livestreamed Game 4 Midtown brawl https://t.co/UIKrzGey4I pic.twitter.com/gsqjByDI5H — New York Post (@nypost) June 12, 2026 Fox reported the injured teen was not the person who answered the taunt. A brawl still followed, and the 17-year-old ended up with life-threatening injuries. New York Post quoted the teen’s mother after the attack: “I have no words for him,” “Right now, my son comes first. This person needs to pay for what he’s done.” ABC7 New York reported authorities said the teen was kicked multiple times in the head and body. People reported the teen was hospitalized at Bellevue as police continued seeking suspects. The broader picture is a city struggling to keep postgame chaos under control. Fox noted the Knicks have a chance to win their first title since 1973 on Saturday night, with Game 5 set for San Antonio. That should be a sports story. Instead, a family is praying over a hospitalized teenager while police ask the public to help identify the people responsible. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

A 21-year-old woman died on Saturday, June 13, 2026, after being launched from a 40-meter platform during a rope-jump activity in Limeira, in the interior of Sao Paulo state, Brazil. She was not attached to any safety rope when she went over the edge. Brazilian outlets describe the activity as a rope jump, a bungee-style platform jump from a high structure. The incident happened at Ponte do Esqueleto, a bridge and trail area known locally for extreme sports. The footage circulating online is graphic. Consider that before viewing the post below. Mulher morre após ser jogada de altura de 40 metros sem cordas ao tentar pular de rope jump em SP https://t.co/kUz1s68YkS — Notícias Paralelas (@NP__Oficial) June 13, 2026 What makes this case so disturbing is that the fatal error appears visible on camera. People can be heard shouting about the rope after the woman was already in the air. Translated from Portuguese, VEJA carried the core police account: A 21-year-old woman died this Saturday, the 13th, after being launched from a height of 40 meters during a rope jump in Limeira, in the interior of Sao Paulo. She was thrown by instructors without being attached to any safety rope, as shown in a video circulating on social media. The scenes are shocking. The tragic case happened at Ponte do Esqueleto, on a trail known for extreme sports. The recording shows someone shouting, “people, the rope,” right after the woman was thrown from the platform. The error is visible: besides the video showing her without the equipment, it later appears on the ground. Two men fled the scene but ended up arrested after being located in the woods by an Aguia helicopter team. In total, six were detained by Military Police. According to police, at the moment of the jump, “the correct fastening of the safety equipment had not been carried out,” which resulted in a fall from a great height and multiple trauma. The Fire Department and SAMU responded, but her death was confirmed at the scene. The same Brazilian reports say six people were detained after the incident, including two men who allegedly fled into a wooded area before being found by a police helicopter team. Uma mulher de 21 anos morreu na manhã deste sábado (13) após ser lançada sem corda de uma altura de 40 metros durante um salto de rope jump na Ponte do Esqueleto, em Limeira (SP). As investigações apontam negligência grave; seis pessoas foram presas. https://t.co/XXuxrvTcvR pic.twitter.com/CgU8pJnvFZ — Senso Crítico (@SensoCrtico1) June 13, 2026 UTV News, republishing and expanding g1’s reporting, said the victim was carried by employees onto the platform before she was launched, and that voices in the video then shouted “the rope” and “people, the rope.” The same report said the victim’s fiance was present and became ill after the tragedy, requiring medical attention. Translated from Portuguese, UTV News reported that the operator still had future jump dates advertised: The company responsible for the rope-jump activity that resulted in the death of a 21-year-old woman this Saturday, the 13th, in Limeira, Sao Paulo, charged R$180 for the activity. The group also had five other dates scheduled for the coming months. When contacted for comment, the report received an automatic message with Entre Cordas’ jump schedule. The content listed future events in Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais, as well as the amounts charged to participants. For Ponte do Esqueleto, where the accident happened, there were spots for Friday, the 12th, and Saturday, the 13th, for R$180. The company also advertised a new date at the location for July 11. In images from the accident recorded Saturday, employees appear wearing shirts with the brands Entre Cordas and Ih Voei. g1 contacted the companies but had not received a response by the latest update. O Globo confirmed the same core event, reporting that the woman died after being launched without ropes during a rope jump in the interior of Sao Paulo. According to police, a witness said the team failed to attach the safety equipment before sending her off the platform. That is the kind of basic step that separates an adrenaline activity from a death. Six people were detained while authorities determine who was responsible for the safety check that allegedly never happened. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

A 17-year-old girl was stabbed in the neck on a public street in Brierfield, near Burnley in England, in the middle of a Friday afternoon. Lancashire Police were called to Wood Street at 3:06 PM on June 12, 2026, after reports that a girl had been assaulted. Armed officers arrived and arrested a 30-year-old man from the town. He is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and remained in custody at the time of reporting. Video of the attack has been circulating online. It is disturbing, and we are flagging that here before you watch. NEW: A man has been arrested after allegedly stabbing a teenage girl in the back of the neck in Burnley pic.twitter.com/LUlngehQd7 — Politics UK (@PolitlcsUK) June 12, 2026 The girl was stabbed in the back of the neck and taken to hospital. The good news is that she survived. Sky News reported her injuries were not life-threatening or life-changing, and that she was communicating with officers and medical staff. By the next day, GB News reported she had been discharged from hospital after treatment. Online, the usual rush to assign motive and identity began almost immediately. Police pushed back on it directly. GB News carried the police update and the details on the suspect: The man who was arrested yesterday on suspicion of attempted murder after a 17-year-old girl was stabbed is a British-born man of Pakistani heritage, Lancashire police have confirmed. The 30-year-old man from Brierfield, Lancashire was arrested shortly after the incident and remains in custody. The teenage victim was stabbed in the back of the neck but has subsequently been discharged from hospital, police have confirmed. A spokesman for the police said there is “currently no evidence to suggest this attack was racially motivated”. Police were called to Wood Street at 3.06pm following reports of an incident. Armed officers arrived at the scene, where the 30-year-old man was arrested. A spokesman for the police said a “dedicated team” are now following inquiries as the investigation continues. They confirmed there are no further suspects currently. Brierfield's MP Oliver Ryan has urged people “stick to the facts” and not “exploit” the incident for “clickbait”. “To address speculation, it is my understanding that both the attacker and the victim are Brierfield residents, and British.” So one early online label does not hold up against the current reporting. Police say he is British-born and of Pakistani heritage, and they say there is no evidence so far that the attack was racially motivated. That is the responsible thing to report. Investigators say a dedicated team is now following inquiries and that there are no further suspects at this time. Extra patrols are being deployed in the area while the investigation continues. A Lancashire Police spokesperson said: "We were called at 3.06pm today to Wood Street, Brierfield, to a report of stabbing. "It was reported that a 17-year-old girl had been assaulted and suffered a stab injury to her neck. "Officers, some of them armed, attended and a… — Politics UK (@PolitlcsUK) June 12, 2026 Brierfield’s MP Oliver Ryan urged people to stick to the facts and not exploit the incident for clickbait, saying his understanding is that both the attacker and victim are Brierfield residents and British. Police are asking anyone with CCTV, dashcam, or doorbell footage to come forward and quote log 0836 of June 12. Strip away the speculation and the bare facts are bad enough. A teenage girl was knifed in the neck on a public street, in daylight, in a country where ordinary people are exhausted by the steady drumbeat of knife attacks. She lived, and a suspect is in custody. That is the result everyone should want, and the rest is now on the detectives to prove in court rather than online.
