A kind person noticed a kitten on their way to school and quickly realized how special the cat was. SaoirseLiberationCatHouseA woman was taking her kids to school when she spotted a kitten outside with a distinct gait.The finder, wanting to help, scooped her up from the street and brought her home. Once she could take a closer look, she was amazed to find the little one only had two legs.Despite being born without back legs, the kitten was in high spirits and moved around effortlessly using her front legs. LiberationCatHouseConcerned that the kitten might need extra care, the finder reached out to her online community for assistance."When I saw her photo and video, I knew I had to help her. I wanted to make sure she received medical care and would be adopted by someone who could make any necessary accommodations for her," Ashley, a director and foster with Liberation Cat House (an all-volunteer rescue), told Love Meow. She was born without back legs - a small stump on one side and nothing on the otherLiberationCatHouseJen, a fellow volunteer, stepped in and took the kitten to the vet. She was instantly charmed by her vivacious attitude. "She could tell she had a big personality from the start. She was very vocal and confident."The moment the kitten stepped out of the carrier, she was eager to explore, climbing up Jen's shirt using just her front legs. She has perfected balancing using her two front legsLiberationCatHouse"The vet did radiographs, which showed that she had a fully formed spine and pelvis but was missing both back legs. In place of one back leg, she has a small stump which is mostly cartilage, and she can't walk on it. On the other side, she doesn't have anything.""The vet determined that this was a congenital issue, so she has always navigated the world this way." LiberationCatHouse"When she came to me, I was impressed with how well she could balance and walk using entirely her front legs. Then I realized that she doesn't know any differently. If she wanted to get somewhere, she had to learn to do it on two legs."The kitten named Saoirse is a bundle of energy. She is constantly on the move, darting from corner to corner, playing with toys, and filling the air with her adorable meows.

She chases toys just like any other kittens; she just does it with two legs instead of four."The little house panther never ceases to amaze everyone with her determination and impressive abilities. LiberationCatHouse"She especially loves chasing the feather wand toy. She likes to wrestle with stuffed toys, too. She can't jump, but she climbs things using her front legs, which are much more muscular than an average kitten's."For the first time in her life, Saoirse has unlimited food, a safe environment, and caring humans, ensuring she's happy, healthy, and loved. LiberationCatHouseDespite missing a leg on one side and just a small stump on the other, Saoirse hasn't slowed down one bit. She has mastered the art of balancing on her front legs and can reach any place she sets her mind to."The way she zips around on two legs is amazing. I especially love her confidence. She's not afraid to demand what she wants, and I'm here for it."

Gotta Admit, I Didn't See THIS Coming!

Sarah Palin's Defamation Case Against the NY Times Heads to Trial...Again

The U.S. Department of Justice has brought significant criminal charges against a New Mexico man who is accused of carrying out arson attacks against the New Mexico Republican Party's headquarters and a Tesla dealership in the state. Jamison Wagner, a 40-year-old resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was arrested and charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives, according to federal authorities. If convicted, Wagner faces between five and 20 years in prison for each count. 'Hurling firebombs is not a political protest.' Federal prosecutors claim the first arson attack took place at a Tesla dealership in Albuquerque on Feb. 9. Wagner is accused of arson of the Tesla dealership and also of vandalizing the building with inflammatory graffiti, including allegedly writing: “Die Elon,” “Tesla Nazi Inc,” “Die Tesla Nazi,” and swastika symbols, according to a report from the Justice Department. There has been outrage — at times violent — by leftists incensed by Elon Musk's efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency to get rid of excessive or fraudulent federal government spending. On March 30, the headquarters of the Republican Party of New Mexico was allegedly attacked. The office reportedly suffered from shattered glass and extensive fire damage to a door, and the outside walls were spray-painted with graffiti that read: "ICE=KKK." Surveillance cameras at both locations captured a white 2015 Hyundai Accent near the crime scenes. Evidence collected from both crime scenes led to the home of Wagner. During a search of Wagner's home, investigators allegedly discovered a stencil with the term “ICE = KKK,” an apparent reference to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Authorities also found eight suspected incendiary devices. No one was injured in either incident, according to investigators. The Justice Department announced in a statement that FBI and ATF agents found "blue styrofoam egg cartons consistent with the polystyrene material found in the improvised napalm used in the Tesla fire, materials for manufacturing additional incendiary devices, ignitable liquids consistent with the gasoline used at both fire scenes, as well as black and red spray paint matching the graffiti used at both crime scenes" at Wagner's residence. Authorities also allegedly found Wagner's 2015 white Hyundai Accent in his garage. Federal authorities have declared that Wagner will now face the full force of the law if he is found guilty. U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche declared, "Hurling firebombs is not a political protest. It is a dangerous felony that we will prosecute to the maximum extent. The impressive work by law enforcement in New Mexico sends a clear message to perpetrators of all of the shameful attacks on Tesla facilities and political establishments: We are coming for you, you can’t hide, and you will do serious jail time to pay for your crimes.” Deputy Director Robert Cekada of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives added, "A key suspect is now in custody thanks to the exceptional work of ATF’s Special Agents, certified fire investigators, and forensic specialists. This arrest marks a critical step toward justice in the firebombing that targeted a Tesla dealership and the New Mexico Republican Party Headquarters. Our teams worked around the clock — collecting, analyzing, and connecting forensic evidence across both scenes. With the support of our local partners, the FBI, and the rapid work of ATF’s forensic lab, we were able to link the crimes, identify those responsible, and take swift action to protect the public. This is what ATF does best: We follow the evidence, we find the truth, and we bring offenders to justice.” FBI Director Kash Patel stated, "This arrest is part of the FBI’s aggressive efforts to investigate and hold accountable those who have targeted Tesla facilities in various states across the country. Thank you to our agents and support teams in Albuquerque who did an outstanding job executing the mission. Under Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, we will continue to locate and arrest those responsible for these acts of domestic terrorism, and the FBI will work with partners at the Department of Justice to ensure such lawbreakers face justice.” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated of the case on the X social media platform, "We will be prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law. We are seeking up to 40 years in prison — no negotiating." Bondi also hinted this week that federal prosecutors would not accept plea deals. “Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence,” said Bondi. “We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate. Crimes have consequences.” FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson told the New York Post, “Following Attorney General Bondi’s leadership, Director Patel immediately took steps to have the FBI quickly locate and arrest domestic terrorists attacking Tesla facilities — and we’re glad to see the latest operation succeed not just in this effort, but also bring to justice the same alleged attacker of the New Mexico Republican Party from February."

A Washington state police officer was demoted after lying to police on a vehicle stop, where he admitted he was drunk and had flashed his badge at a bar to gain special favor, according to a memo obtained by KCPQ-TV. The memo said that officer Todd Roggenkamp had acted inappropriately during an alcohol-fueled series of incidents on October 18, 2023, that began at the Last Frontier Saloon in Fall City, about 25 miles east of Seattle. 'Roggenkamp texted an image of the prank and added, "What’s up with the weird tactical antenna that [name redacted] was driving around with last night?'"Roggenkamp's wife reportedly left her cell phone inside the bar, but a bartender told them he could not reopen the business without a code to the alarm. That set off Roggenkamp, who flashed his badge and demanded that he reopen. "’This badge says I can get in the building’ … is verbatim what he says," said Andrew Goodman, a friend of the bartender who was present at the bar that evening. Roggenkamp then threatened to fight the men at the bar and bragged about knowing "lethal combat laws" before his wife kicked Goodman in the groin and slapped him. Cameras outside the bar captured the incident. The officer had a contentious debate with King County deputies, who can be heard on bodycam videos saying they could smell alcohol on him. Roggenkamp questioned the legality of the stop and told them to handcuff his wife, which they did eventually. When a deputy indicated that they were merely trying to determine if his wife had assaulted someone, Roggenkamp interrupted and yelled, "Okay, let’s f**king go. Now!"He also called one deputy a "f**king amateur" and the other one fat. He then drove to the King County jail and identified as a sergeant to try to have his wife released from custody. Footage showed Roggenkamp mixing up his words and then adding, "I am drunk." The investigation into that night led to renewed interest in another incident where Roggenkamp was accused of attaching a phallic sex toy onto another officer's marked police car in late 2023. The other officer drove around the community for several hours with the sex toy on the vehicle. Roggenkamp texted an image of the prank and added, "What’s up with the weird tactical antenna that [name redacted] was driving around with last night?"He admitted to investigators that it had been a bad idea, after saying he found it funny. The Mercer Island Police Department reached a last-chance agreement with the officer rather than terminate him after 18 years of service. The department quietly demoted Roggenkamp from sergeant to officer in November 2024. Roggenkamp did not respond to requests from KCPQ for comment by text, phone, and email. He is being investigated by the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, but a spokesperson for the commission said that the case of the sex toy incident had been closed over lack of jurisdiction. Video from the bar's security camera and the police vehicle stop can be viewed on the news report from KCPQ on YouTube. Like Blaze News?
