An illegal alien being chased by federal immigration officers crashed into the car of a beloved grade-school teacher and killed her, according to Georgia police.

38-year-old Oscar Vasquez Lopez allegedly drove through a red light and crashed into Linda Davis as Immigration and Customs Enforcement chased him in Savannah.

‘This tragic loss of life at the hands of someone who shouldn’t be here could have been prevented.’

The Chatham County Police Dept. said officers were called to the scene of the car crash Monday at about 7:45 a.m. at the intersection of Whitefield Avenue and Truman Parkway. Police said federal officers were trying to initiate a traffic stop on Lopez when he fled in his vehicle.

Davis was reportedly transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, while Lopez was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System confirmed that Davis worked at Hesse K-8 school.

The Department of Homeland Security said a judge issued a final order of removal against Lopez in 2024.

Police said in a Facebook statement that Lopez was charged at the state level with homicide by vehicle in the first degree, reckless driving, driving without valid license, and failure to obey traffic control device. They also clarified that they did not play a role in the ICE operation but responded to the report of a car crash.

Some on social media tried to place the blame for the fatal incident on ICE, which was immediately denied by the ICE official account.

“This is an utterly disgusting lie. A Guatemalan criminal illegal alien fled from law enforcement and crashed into another vehicle, killing Linda Davis — an American citizen and beloved teacher at Hesse K-8,” the agency said.

“This tragic loss of life at the hands of someone who shouldn’t be here could have been prevented,” the agency added. “Our prayers are with the Savannah, GA, community and the family of Linda Davis.”

China’s latest autonomous robots display has some viewers worried while others can’t even believe it is real.

China held its annual CCTV Spring Festival gala, which is an annual performance that shows off the latest the country has to offer in tech.

‘Some “imperfection” movement of the robots is really scary.’

The event saw a reported 677 million viewers across platforms, according to China Daily, and an alleged 13.5 billion views on clips after the fact.

What caught the most eyes in the West though, was the performance of humanoid robots from tech company Unitree Robotics. Unitree was one of four robot companies to put on displays, but it seemingly caught the most eyes with its robots’ drunken boxing routine, performed alongside acrobatic children.

The performance included sword and staff work, gymnastics, and even breakdancing. According to NBC News, new innovations in multi-robot coordination and fault recovery were a focus in the display, with the latter referring to a robot’s ability to get up after falling down.

Reactions online were a mix of shock and awe, along with worry.

“This is getting scary and creepy,” one user commented on YouTube.

“Some ‘imperfection’ movement of the robots is really scary,” another viewer added.

However, there exist claims that the robots are not actually this advanced, and some sort of postproduction was involved.

On X, one viewer pointed out the drastic difference between the robotic capabilities on display at the festival in 2025 versus 2026. Last year, robots were stumbling around waving handkerchiefs, while this year they are in choreographed gymnastics and martial arts displays.

“In just one year, they have evolved from robots to ‘humans,'” AI entrepreneur Tansu Yegen wrote.

Another user disputed the video, saying he saw the same robots at a live demo “a month ago in Shenzhen.”

“They’re slow, shaky, & can barely shuffle let alone do any of this. This isn’t the first time unitree has used cgi to fake capability,” he claimed.

Last year, Unitree put on a Humanoid Robot Boxing event that showed robots sloppily competing in martial arts with one another. The capabilities this February would likely be considered a vast jump from what was seen in May 2025 by the fighter bots.

Still there is yet to be any concrete evidence that Unitree or China was faking the event.

At the same time though, Shenzhen EngineAI Robotics Technology Co. Ltd. launched the Ultimate Robot Knock-Out Legend event a week earlier.

The company plans to have “Chinese Robot Kung Fu” robots battle it out for a 10-kilogram pure gold belt worth about $1.4 million.

While the Miss America pageant has long been known for featuring the most beautiful women in the country, organizers are now opening the competition up to biological men and removing the crowns of those who disagree.

When Miss North Florida Kayleigh Bush refused to sign a contract that featured the pageant’s updated policies because it changed the language to claim that men can be considered women and eligible to compete, she was stripped of her title.

And BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is seriously disturbed, saying, “Miss America is now allowing trans people to compete.”

“Now they’ve got updated rules. Contestants have to be women aged 18 to 28, unmarried, no children, and U.S. citizens. However, ‘women,’ air quotes, includes those born female or an individual who has fully completed sex reassignment surgery via vaginoplasty,” she explains.

BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden is as shocked as Gonzales.

“The mental gymnastics that they have to go through — which is, by the way, going to tank the organization. It’s going to be over,” he says, before pointing out that it’s a “communist play.”

“They want to say that ugly is beautiful. They want to say, ‘Look at that beautiful building.’ And you go, ‘Uh, it’s a concrete building.’ … But isn’t it funny? That’s what they’re doing,” he says.

“What they’re trying to do is mess with your head. I mean, really, they’re trying to tell you, ‘Hang on a second. Beauty is ugly. Ugly is beauty. Don’t look at this. Don’t look at that. A man’s a woman. A woman’s a man,’” he continues.

It didn’t take long for a Chinese-owned AI company to get slapped with reality from American companies.

ByteDance, known for its short-form video app TikTok, released Seedance 2.0 on February 12, allowing users to create realistic AI videos from simple text prompts.

‘Stealing human creators’ work in an attempt to replace them with AI generated slop is destructive to our culture.’

Quickly, users were recreating lifelike scenes that included everything from influencer videos to Hollywood action sequences. However, it only took Hollywood about 24 hours to make the call to its legal teams about what was being posted online that featured its copyright-protected material.

Disney was seemingly the first to let ByteDance know it needed to stop what it was doing, and the company sent a letter to ByteDance that accused it of pre-packaging its product with “a pirated library of Disney’s copyrighted characters from Star Wars, Marvel, and other Disney franchises, as if Disney’s coveted intellectual property were free public domain clip art.”

According to Axios, Disney attorney David Singer also accused ByteDance of “hijacking Disney’s characters by reproducing, distributing, and creating derivative works.”

“ByteDance’s virtual smash-and-grab of Disney’s IP is willful, pervasive, and totally unacceptable,” the lawyer added.

In response, ByteDance assured the concerned parties that it would be acting to prevent the use of unauthorized materials.

“We are taking steps to strengthen current safeguards as we work to prevent the unauthorized use of intellectual property and likeness by users,” a spokesperson claimed.

It wasn’t long before huge groups like the Motion Picture Association jumped in to back Disney up; the MPA represents not only the Mickey Mouse company, but Netflix, Paramount Skydance, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros., and Discovery.

“In a single day, the Chinese AI service Seedance 2.0 has engaged in unauthorized use of U.S. copyrighted works on a massive scale,” MPA chairman Charles Rivkin said in the statement.

Rivkin said the “infringement” affects “millions of American jobs” by disregarding the well-established copyright laws that are already on the books.

The Human Artistry Campaign — which represents groups like SAG-AFTRA and the Directors Guild of America — also chimed in and said that Seedance 2.0 was attacking every creator around the world.

“Stealing human creators’ work in an attempt to replace them with AI generated slop is destructive to our culture: stealing isn’t innovation,” the group said in a statement.

For reasons unknown, the AI video generator became popular very quickly with those looking to recreate Hollywood-tier fight scenes with some of their favorite comic book characters, like Superman and the Incredible Hulk.

However, other fight scenes included bringing cartoons like “Dragon Ball Z” to life, while others featured rooftop fisticuffs between celebrities like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

Hundreds of teens rampaged a Bronx shopping mall and tangled with police Monday on their day off from school — Presidents’ Day.

News 12 reported that the planned “takeover” at the Mall at Bay Plaza commenced around 2 p.m.

‘This is embarrassing. Bored? Read a book, invent something.’

Officers responded to reports of up to 200 teenagers being disorderly, WABC-TV reported.

“This is insane. I mean, I haven’t seen it this bad ever,” one neighbor, Keshana, told News 12.

The takeover spread throughout several businesses, including a McDonald’s just outside the mall, News 12 said, adding that a window at the fast-food restaurant was shattered.

“A bunch of kids just came in here they were breaking everything,” employee William Norman told News 12. “I was scared for my life, man. I got kids at home.”

WABC reported that the teens appeared to challenge officers; the New York Post said some of them were “appearing to resist and fight the cops.”

Indeed, one clip posted to X shows officers trying to bring a fleeing male under control, but he escapes after his comrades appear to join his tangle with police. One officer appears to take a swing at one of the mob members.

A News 12 reporter asked a group of teens on camera for the reason behind their behavior, and several replied with laughter, “We was bored!”

Authorities told News 12 that officers issued multiple warnings and ordered the large, disorderly group to disperse.

News 12 added that the takeover plan was shared on social media and that it was supposed to end after the teens were “kicked out.”

A mall spokesperson told News 12 that the mall didn’t close despite the chaotic event, which was “resolved quickly.”

Eighteen were taken into custody, News 12 said. WABC reported that the exact charges are pending.

Commenters responding to News 12’s video report didn’t take kindly to the teens’ actions — particularly their stated reason:

“They were bored???” one commenter reacted. “God forbid they stay home and pick up a book to read or maybe study or do some chores.””This is embarrassing. Bored? Read a book, invent something,” another commenter suggested.Bored? They have free wifi all over the place where you can be online for hours and yet still bored,” another commenter argued.”They’re not bored, they’re bums because their parents are bums too,” another commenter declared.”Bored? If they are bored, do something positive like [clean] up the neighborhood,” another commenter offered.

The Department of Justice belatedly released a massive trove of documents related to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last month. The documents provide damning insights into the dead pedophile as well as his network of former business associates and friends.

One of the affluent individuals whose name comes up repeatedly in the Epstein files is Thomas Pritzker — cousin of Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker — who has served as executive chairman of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation since August 2004.

‘Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt.’

The 75-year-old billionaire revealed to the board of the hotel chain on Monday that he was retiring, effective immediately, to protect Hyatt from the fallout of his relationship with the dead pedophile.

In his letter to the board, which was reviewed by the New York Times, Pritzker said that “good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which I deeply regret.”

Pritzker noted further that he “exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner.”

The retiring Hyatt executive chairman appears to have maintained a friendship and remained in frequent contact with Epstein long after the sex offender pleaded guilty to procuring a child for prostitution.

In the newly released Epstein files, the email address accompanying Pritzker’s name is frequently redacted. However in some cases, it is crossed out but still visible.

Richard Tuttle, chair of the Hyatt board’s nominating and corporate governance committee, said in a statement, “Tom’s leadership has been instrumental in shaping Hyatt’s strategy and long-term growth, and we thank him for his service and dedication to Hyatt.”

Mark Hoplamazian, Hyatt’s president and CEO, has stepped into the role left open by the Epstein associate.

Pritzker is among a growing list of individuals whose relationships with Epstein have earned them heightened scrutiny and professional consequences.

After new details about their relationships and/or communications with Epstein came to light:

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem resigned as chairman and chief executive of the global ports operator DP World;David Gelernter, a Yale University computer science professor who lost a few fingers opening a package sent by the Unabomber, defended a controversial correspondence he had with Epstein and was barred from teaching classes at the university;Peter Mandelson, a prominent Labour Party figure who was appointed Britain’s ambassador to the U.S. in 2024 by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, resigned in disgrace from the House of Lords while his protege stepped down as Starmer’s right-hand man;Kathy Ruemmler said she was resigning as Goldman Sach’s chief legal officer;Brad Karp resigned as chairman of the top U.S. law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP;U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was grilled in a Senate hearing about his 2012 meeting with Epstein at the pedophile’s island;New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch, who NFL commissioner Roger Goodell indicated might ultimately face an internal investigation, admitted to a “brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments”;Letty Moss-Salentijn was stripped of her administrative duties at Columbia University’s College of Dental Medicine;Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and former wife of ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, saw her charity, Sarah’s Trust, shuttered; andThorbjørn Jagland, Norway’s former prime minister, was charged with aggravated corruption.Like Blaze News?

In an important development in the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, investigators have cleared several people from the suspect list — including one person who had been heavily scrutinized since Guthrie was first reported missing on February 1.

The New York Post reported on Monday that investigators have ruled out Nancy Guthrie’s family from any suspicion in connection with her disappearance.

‘The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case.’

“The Guthrie family — to include all siblings and spouses — has been cleared as possible suspects in this case,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Monday, according to Post.

“The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,” he added. “To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims, plain and simple.”

Investigators have thus ruled out Nancy’s children, Savannah, Annie, and Camron, as anything other than victims.

Also included on this list is Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, who was reportedly the last person to see Nancy Guthrie alive on January 31.

Prior to this development, Nanos said that he “understands” that Cioni would be subject to suspicion but warned people not to jump to rash judgments without evidence.

“I understand the pundits are out there. They’re gonna say, ‘Well, he’s the last one to see her alive.’ We understand that stuff. But, my goodness, you’re putting a mark on somebody who could be completely innocent. And more important than that, he’s family,” Nanos said, according to the New York Post.

Cioni last saw Nancy around 9:45 p.m. on January 31 after he and Annie had dinner with her, according to reports.

Though a few people were detained by a SWAT team near Nancy’s house in Tucson, Arizona, in connection with the investigation late last week, no one has yet been a named as a suspect.
