<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lori Vallow Daybell was once a loving mother, a contestant on “Wheel of Fortune,” and a beauty pageant contestant. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At some point, however, her religious views became more extreme, to the point where she referred to people who didn’t share her views as “zombies,” who needed to be dealt with. As her views veered off into the absurd, the people around her began dying, including her 16-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Tylee Ryan, and her adopted 7-year-old son Joshua Jaxon “J.J.” Vallow.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While there is no single moment to point to as the moment Lori started to go off the rails, many believe it happened when she met Chad Daybell, a married man who wrote doomsday fiction and religious books.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1996, with her second husband Joseph Ryan Jr., Lori had her first child, a son named Colby. Baby Tylee came in 2002. Lori would later divorce Ryan, who allegedly abused her and her children. On February 24, 2006, Lori married Charles Vallow, who raised Colby and Tylee as if they were his own.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2012, Charles Vallow’s nephew fathered a son, J.J., who at 2-years-old was adopted by Lori and Charles. The family moved to Kauai, Hawaii, at the end of 2014, and then to the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona, in mid-2017. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">But only a year later Lori would met Chad Daybell, and soon the lives of everyone around them changed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On February 8, 2018, Vallow filed for divorce from Lori, saying she threatened to kill him if he stood in the way of her preparations for Jesus Christ’s second coming, which she and Daybell said would happen in July 2020. Vallow called the cops on Lori, citing the murder threat and asking her to be placed in a mental institution to receive treatment. Police spoke to Lori and seemed to believe it was Vallow, not Lori, who was the one with mental health issues.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then, on July 11, 2019, police in Chandler, Arizona, received a phone call from Alex Cox, Lori’s brother, who said he shot and killed Charles Vallow in self-defense. Lori began telling friends and family different versions of how Vallow died, from saying he had a heart attack, to suicide, to self-defense. She texted Vallow’s children from a previous marriage about his death, but stopped answering them when they asked her what happened. Alex Cox was never charged in the death.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shortly after Charles Vallow’s death, Lori tried to collect on his million-dollar life insurance policy — only to learn that he switched the beneficiary to his sister, who is J.J.’s grandmother. After that, Lori reportedly never let J.J.s grandparents see him again.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By now, Colby had moved out on his own with his own wife, so he was spared from the horrors that were to follow.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In September 2019, Lori, along with Tylee and J.J., moved to Rexburg, Idaho, to be closer to Daybell, who said a voice told him to move there for the second coming of Christ. On September 8, 2019, Lori and her brother Alex, take Tylee and J.J. to Yellowstone National Park. Tylee was never seen alive again.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two weeks later, on September 23, J.J., who is autistic, was last seen at his school in Idaho. The next day, Lori informed the school that he will be homeschooled instead.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On October 2, 2019, Lori’s nephew-in-law was the victim of a failed drive-by shooting in Gilbert, Arizona. The vehicle involved was registered to Lori’s ex-husband, Charles Vallow, who had been dead for months.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A few days later, Chad Daybell’s wife Tammy called police to tell them a masked man tried to shoot her in her garage with what she thought was a paintball gun. Ten days later, Tammy was found dead in her home. Her death was initially ruled to be natural, but police have since opened an investigation into the matter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Less than a month after Tammy died, Lori married Chad Daybell in Hawaii. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three weeks later, after Lori and Daybell returned to Idaho, police conducted a welfare check on J.J. at the request of his grandmother. At the time, Lori told police that J.J. was with relatives in Arizona and that Tylee had gone to Brigham Young University-Idaho. People then began to question where J.J. and Tylee had gone, and suddenly, Lori and Daybell packed up and abandoned their home in Idaho on the same day police begin searching for the children.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not long after, on December 12, Lori’s brother Alex died in Gilbert, Arizona, due to a reported blood clot. His death was not investigated further, as the condition ran in the family.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On December 20, police in Rexburg, Idaho, officially announced an investigation into the disappearance of J.J. and Tylee. A month later, Lori was served a court order to produce the children within five days. She and Daybell head back to Kauai.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the deadline to produce the children passed, police began laying the groundwork to arrest Lori. They did so on February 20, 2020, arresting Lori in Kauai and charging her with two felony counts of desertion and nonsupport of dependent children.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It wasn’t until June 9, 2020, when police were searching Chad Daybell’s property in Idaho, that the bodies of Tylee and J.J. were found. Daybell tried to flee from the scene, but was caught and charged with two felony counts of destruction, alteration, or concealment of evidence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lori and Daybell wouldn’t be charged with the murders until May 25, 2021. In addition, they were also charged with murdering Daybell’s ex-wife Tammy. Lori was sent to a mental health facility to have her competency evaluated. Eventually, she was deemed competent to stand trial.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In early March, Lori and Daybell had their trials </span><a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/judge-splits-trials-couple-triple-murder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">separated</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by a judge, with Lori’s trial set to being on April 3, with Daybell’s to occur later. The separation came after Lori tried to have the charges against her dismissed for lack of a speedy trial since she was arrested nearly three years ago.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If convicted, Lori and Daybell each face the death penalty.</span></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">A couple claiming they were left stranded in the ocean off a Hawaiian island, forcing them to swim half a mile to land, is suing a Hawaii tour company.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Alexander Burckle and his wife, Elizabeth Webster, who had snorkeled before, have filed a lawsuit against Sail Maui. They had joined 42 other passengers for a snorkeling trip in September 2021 that left Lahaina Harbor in Maui. They claim in the lawsuit that the passengers were informed the boat would remain anchored for an hour in the first ocean location before it sailed on, as the passengers were permitted to swim in the ocean. Passengers returned to the boat at different times, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11824147/California-couple-abandoned-snorkeling-trip-forced-swim-shore-sue-tour-company.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the lawsuit, which said the waves were eight feet high.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It can be really rough water even for people that are experienced in the ocean, much less visitors who may not have any ocean experience or especially not have experience in Hawaiian waters,” the couple’s attorney, Jared A. Washkowitz, told <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/pocharaponneammanee/lawsuit-hawaii-snorkeling-ocean" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buzzfeed News</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The lawsuit states that one passenger reported the couple missing when she reboarded the boat, but a crew member said the couple was aboard. The suit alleges three head counts were made, and the first two numbered 42 passengers but the third numbered 44 as the first mate did not make the passengers remain still, instead counting them as they wandered about.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Plaintiffs realized the Vessel had left them and was not coming back for them, and they decided that their only option for survival at that point was to return to shore,” the lawsuit claims, adding that the couple “were beginning to panic and were struggling to swim in the ocean conditions.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The couple swam for half a mile to the island of Lanai, the lawsuit states, fatigued and dehydrated, managing to write “SOS” and “HELP” in the sand.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Local residents then came to their aid. The lawsuit claims that when the couple contacted the tour company, no one was aware they had gone missing.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It&#8217;s kind of scary to think what would&#8217;ve happened if they hadn&#8217;t made it,” Washkowitz said. &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure the company would&#8217;ve known about it until family members started asking about it. It&#8217;s just kind of a scary thought.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“They&#8217;re not giving any statements because they don&#8217;t want to have to relive the incident over and over again,” he added. “They&#8217;re both getting psychological treatment. They have anxiety and stress from the incident, and they&#8217;re coping the best they can.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Jessica Herbert, a fellow passenger on the snorkeling tour, told Good Morning America that the crew members of the boat told guests “everybody was on &#8230; All accounted for, we started to take off, nobody&#8217;s looking behind them.”</p>

U.S.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">A passenger who was aboard the mid-December United Airlines flight that plunged to within feet of the Pacific Ocean came forth to discuss what the terrifying experience was like.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On December 18, Rod Williams II, his wife and two young children had seats near the back of United flight 1722 bound from Maui, Hawaii, to San Francisco, California. The plane had taken off from Maui and reached 2,200 feet before it suddenly dropped more than 1,400 feet in the midst of an intense storm.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It felt like you were climbing to the top of a roller coaster. It was at that point,” Williams, who studied aviation in college, told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/united-777-plunge-takeoff-hawaii/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>. “There were a number of screams on the plane. Everybody knew that something was out of the ordinary, or at least that this was not normal.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">According to <a href="https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/united-maui-dive-ua1722-close-call/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Air Current</a>, the harrowing dive reached a descent rate of almost 8,600 feet per minute.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Williams and his wife were seated with their 10-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son between them.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“When the plane started to nosedive, multiple screams are being let out, at that point,” Williams said. “You’re trying your best to maintain your composure – there’s obviously kids on the flight – nobody really knows what’s going on, but at the same time, you’re concerned. You don’t know if this is an issue, but it was certainly out of the ordinary.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s tense, you don’t really have a chance to speak or to conjure up words, you’re just kind of gripping the seat and praying under your breath,” he added. “I asked her later and sure enough … we were praying for a miracle, because we felt like this could be it.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Eight weeks after the flight, Williams’ father showed him reports on the flight. “Now that I know, statistically what had happened, and that we were about 5 to 5.2 seconds from hitting the water, you know, I&#8217;m definitely counting my blessings,” he said. “I&#8217;m reminded that when my wife and I pray together before the flights that, you know, there&#8217;s a God that&#8217;s here in that.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After the flight successfully landed in San Francisco, the family flew home to Ohio. The United flight, a Boeing that could hold 364 passengers, left for Chicago two and a half hours later.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“You read about these things, but then when you get to experience it, it’s just, sobering, you know. I’m very thankful to be here today,” he concluded.</p>

<p>Astronomers believe the green laser beams spotted over the Hawaiian Islands last month came from a Chinese satellite.</p>
<p>The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) said in a January 30 tweet that the space agency’s Subaru-Asahi Star Camera on Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii captured green laser lights in the cloudy sky over Maunakea, Hawai’i.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">On Jan 28, 2023, HST, Subaru-Asahi Star Camera captured green laser lights in the cloudy sky over Maunakea, Hawai`i. The lights are thought to be from a remote-sensing altimeter satellite ICESAT-2/43613.<br />Watch the video:<a href="https://t.co/xqoJvSa24s">https://t.co/xqoJvSa24s</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SubaruTelescope?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SubaruTelescope</a> <a href="https://t.co/5hhIsewuNp">pic.twitter.com/5hhIsewuNp</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Although the agency initially believed the lights came from a NASA remote-sensing altimeter satellite known as an ICESAT-2/43613, which <a href="https://www.cnet.com/science/space/those-weird-green-space-lights-over-hawaii-didnt-come-from-nasa/">CNET</a> described as NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 that shoots lasers at Earth to measure the surface of the planet.</p>
<p>Officials corrected the original statement on February 6, saying NASA scientists “did a simulation of the trajectory of satellites that have a similar instrument and found a most likely candidate as the ACDL instrument by the Chinese Daqi-1/AEMS satellite.”</p>
<p>“We really appreciate their efforts in the identification of the light,” NAOJ wrote. “We are sorry about our confusion related to this event and its potential impact on the ICESat-2 team.”</p>
<p>The University of Hawaii, Institute of Astronomy’s Roy Gal told <a href="https://ktla.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/chinese-satellite-beams-green-lasers-over-hawaii/">KHON2</a> the beams came from a Chinese satellite that measures pollutants, “among other things.”</p>
<p>“It has many different instruments on it … Some kind of topographical mapping or they’re also used for measuring stuff in Earth’s atmosphere, and I think that’s what it is, environmental measurement satellite.”</p>
<p>Gal added the U.S. has satellites performing the same tasks.</p>
<p>Still, China’s spacecraft does not pose a risk to the islands or locals as tensions between the U.S. and China rise amid spy satellites and other devices owned by the Chinese regime entering U.S. air space, which has prompted the deployment of U.S. military fighter jets several times to strike down the objects.</p>
<p>“No, it’s not a risk to Hawaii or anyplace else, too,” Gal said. ”We have aircraft making these measurements all the time. If you’ve seen topographical maps with high precision, those are made using sometimes this kind of thing.”</p>
<p>Ray L’Heureux, a former chief of staff of Marine Forces Pacific, told the news outlet aired a different opinion surrounding the laser beams.</p>
<p>“I’m not sure, and this is my opinion, why the Chinese — who are probably some of the most prolific polluters on the planet — would be collecting data on pollutants on this side of the Pacific,” L’Heureux said.</p>
<p>L’Heureux noted that due to the tensions between the U.S. and China, “people are a little antsy, and I think we just need to be a little bit more aware, vigilant.”</p>

<p>A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noopener">college football</a> player died in a tragic construction accident Friday.</p>
<p>Brigham Young University offensive lineman Sione Veikoso was killed in the accident in his hometown of Kailua, Hawaii, on Friday, the team stated on Twitter. Veikoso was working with a construction crew in the area when a retaining wall collapsed. A transfer from Arizona State, the redshirt freshman appeared in one game for the Cougars in 2022.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are extremely saddened to learn of the tragic death of one of our brothers, Sione Veikoso,&#8221; Brigham Young head coach <a href="https://twitter.com/kalanifsitake/status/1609067962341916673?s=20&amp;t=lKfEONdnRnsnzQXQWyZByQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kalani Sitake</a> said in a Twitter post Saturday. &#8220;His passing is heartbreaking to all of us. We offer our deepest condolences and prayers to his family as we share in their grief. Our love for you is forever, Sione!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The BYU Football Family mourns the passing of our dear teammate and fellow Cougar, Sione Veikoso,&#8221; BYU athletic director <a href="https://twitter.com/TomHolmoe/status/1609070746063745025?s=20&amp;t=DHf1wQjVhJrfTw-uOpPsGA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Holmoe</a> added in a separate statement on Twitter. &#8220;May his family and friends feel our love and faith at this most sacred and difficult time. Peace be with you now and forever Sione.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/12/30/breaking-news/1-dead-3-injured-after-retaining-wall-collapses-in-kailua/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Honolulu Star-Advertiser</a>, some 36 firefighters from the Honolulu Fire Department responded to the collapse in a residential neighborhood in Kailua. The 15-foot retaining wall partially collapsed, trapping four people under the rubble. When fire crews arrived, residents were attempting to use a mini excavator to remove the large stones in order to free the trapped workers. Firefighters stopped them because the remaining wall was unstable. One person had already gotten out from under the rubble by the time they arrived.</p>
<p>Firefighters removed the rocks manually and rescued two people, but a third was buried deeper. About an hour later, they recovered the third individual, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The two survivors were taken to a local hospital and treated. A third survivor who was in serious but stable condition refused medical treatment. Two of the workers escaped with only minor injuries that did not require medical attention.</p>
<p>Family members later identified Veikoso as the deceased.</p>
<p>According to a memorial posted on the <a href="https://byucougars.com/story/football/1302581/loving-memory-sione-veikoso" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BYU football</a> website, Veikoso graduated from Kailua High School, where he played football. After graduating from high school, he served a full-time mission for the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Manaus, Brazil, for two years, from 2018 to 2020. After returning from his mission, the 6-foot-7, 305-pound offensive lineman enrolled at Arizona State, where he played one game in his redshirt season for the Sun Devils. He transferred to BYU in the summer, and appeared in one game for the Cougars this season. The team also organized a GoFundMe to help defray some of the funeral costs for his family.</p>
<p>Veikoso was on holiday break when the accident occurred. He was scheduled to fly back to BYU next week, the Star-Advertiser reported. He is survived by two sisters, Mele and Sanimata, and a brother who is also named Sione.</p>
<p>“He was a gentle giant who loved his family. He was reliable and caring,” Veikoso’s cousin Joshua Kava wrote in a statement to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.</p>

<p class="p1">The flow of lava is also speeding up, the survey pointed out. “During the past 24 hours, the lava flow advanced at an average rate of about 68 feet per hour […] about twice the rate for the past several days. Over shorter periods, the advance rate varied from 62 to 90 feet per hour,” it added.</p>
<p class="p1">However, when the lava reaches a flat area, “lava flows advance more slowly, spread out, and inflate,” it noted.</p>
<p class="p1">The spectacle has drawn observers and tourists who want to see the eruption of the volcano. Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano on the planet and started erupting last month on November 27 for the first <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/06/hawaii-activates-national-guard-mauna-loa-lava-nears-daniel-k-inouye/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">time</span></a> in almost forty years.

<p class="p1">“With the lava being where it’s at, we feel pretty certain that the lava won’t impact any populated areas,” Roth said at a Monday press conference. “There’s a lot of (moving) pieces. How fast it’s moving. How close it’s gonna come to the highway. How long it will take if there’s any dangers that we’re seeing.”</p>
<p class="p1">Whether or not the lava will get to the highway is mainly based on the duration of the volcano&#8217;s eruption.</p>
<p class="p1">“We don’t know how long this eruption is going to last, and that will dictate whether or not the highway becomes more threatened,” Natalia Deligne, a volcanologist with the U.S. Geological Survey at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/06/us/mauna-loa-highway-kilauea-eruption-tuesday/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">told</span></a> CNN.</p>

Hawaii National Guard Activated As Mauna Loa Volcano Continues To Erupt

Natural Disaster

<p>Hawaii officials are closely watching a major highway on the Big Island as lava flow from the Mauna Loa volcano threatens to shut it down.</p>
<p>Hawaii Route 200 covers more than 50 miles across the island between Hilo and Kona. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory&#8217;s latest news release on Saturday indicated that the lava flow was about 2.4 miles away.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fissure 3 is generating a lava flow traveling to the north toward the Daniel K. Inouye Highway (Saddle Road) that has reached relatively flatter ground and slowed down significantly over the past several days, as expected,&#8221; it <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mauna-loa/volcano-updates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Rep. Kaiali&#8217;i Kahele (D-HI) and other Hawaiian officials requested federal assistance in a letter to President Joe Biden.</p>

<p>&#8220;Access restricted by the lava flow can severely impact emergency services as one of the island’s primary hospitals is located in East Hawai’i. Additionally, a traffic diversion will add significant congestion to two state highways,&#8221; the letter from Kahele and other Hawaiian officials stated.</p>
<p>On Thursday, experts <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/04/us/hawaii-mauna-loa-kilauea-eruption-sunday/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">estimated</a> that the earliest the lava could reach the highway would be in about a week, indicating a time around December 8 or 9. The lava flow remains unpredictable, however, and could change.</p>

<p>The blocked roadway could add hours to commute times for residents as drivers seek alternative routes.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hawaiis-largest-active-volcano-erupts-ash-fall-warning-issued" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Mauna Loa began erupting more than a week ago, with lava flow warnings issued to the surrounding area.</p>
<p>The eruption of Mauna Loa, considered the world’s largest active volcano, was detected at approximately 11:30 p.m. local time on November 27 inside the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The overnight eruption also led to several small earthquakes recorded in the area.</p>

<p>&#8220;I finally exorcised this damn chocolate demon that’s been gnawing at me for decades,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/kevin-hart-and-dwayne-the-rock-johnson-hilariously-take-on-tiktok-tortilla-challenge-trend-in-viral-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johnson</a> began the caption to his video, saying that after more than three decades, it was time to finally &#8220;right this wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I was broke as hell, so I used to steal a king sized @snickers EVERY DAY from 7-11 for almost a year when I was 14yrs old, on my way to the gym,&#8221; he said, noting that the candy bar had been his go-to pre-workout snack. He also said that the clerk — who was there every day to witness what he was doing, &#8220;turned her head and never busted me.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’ve exercised [sic] a few big demons over the years (I still have a few left;) so I know this one seems VERY SILLY, but every time I come back home to Hawaii and drive by 7-11 … I always knew I needed to go in and clean out every Snickers bar they had — the right way,&#8221; Johnson added.</p>
<p>The video showed Johnson walking into the store and taking every Snickers bar off the shelf, loading them into a large paper bag. He took the bag to the front counter, and told the clerk &#8220;BK&#8221; to &#8220;ring all these up.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;BK is like, f***,&#8221; Johnson laughed as BK began dutifully counting the candy bars. &#8220;I used to steal a Snickers every day. I gotta come back and I had to buy them, you know what I mean?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ahh, okay,&#8221; BK replied, still counting.</p>
<p>&#8220;Bk is like, &#8216;look listen, I&#8217;m trying to count all this s***, I don&#8217;t need to hear your stories. Go tell Oprah,’” Johnson narrated, prompting laughs from the clerk and several customers.</p>
<p>Once the candy bars had all been accounted for, Johnson began to wave the other customers forward, offering to pay for whatever they were getting in addition to his massive chocolate haul. The total came to $298 — which he paid before tipping the clerk.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was a lot of fun to take care of everybody who walked into 7-11 while I was there. Least I could do considering all the s*** I used to steal from here,&#8221; he explained in the caption.</p>
<p>&#8220;We can’t change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation — and maybe put a big smile on some stranger’s faces,&#8221; he concluded.</p>
<p>Johnson left the candy behind, telling the clerk to give them away to anyone who looked like they might be trying to steal a candy bar, &#8220;Give them this so they don&#8217;t steal it.&#8221;</p>

<p>Protests across China are continuing as thousands of demonstrators are lashing out in response to the Chinese Communist Party’s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-releases-tepid-statement-on-protests-in-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zero COVID</a>&#8221; policy.

<p><strong>Fauci Blames Trump For China&#8217;s Dishonesty</strong></p>
<p>Outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci said this week on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; that it is possible that COVID came from a lab, but reiterated that he believes there is evidence the virus might have occurred naturally. Fauci also blamed former President Trump’s “accusatory” relationship with the Chinese for the communist nation’s refusal to be transparent about the virus:</p>
<p>“If you look at the anti-China approach that clearly the Trump administration had right from the very beginning and the accusatory nature, the Chinese are gonna flinch back and say, &#8220;No, I&#8217;m sorry. We&#8217;re not gonna talk to you about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fauci added that the U.S. should &#8220;keep the politics of out of&#8221; trying to determine COVID&#8217;s origins.</p>

Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Murphy threw cold water on Biden‘s hopes to pass an assault weapons ban.</p>
<p>“I’m glad that President Biden is going to be pushing us to take a vote on an assault weapons ban, The House has already passed it. It’s sitting in front of the Senate,&#8221; Murphy said. &#8220;Does it have 60 votes in the Senate right now? Probably not. But let’s see if we can try to get that number as close to 60 as possible. If we don’t have the votes, then we will talk to Senator Schumer and maybe come back next year with maybe an additional senator and see if we can do better.”</p>

<p>A later update was sent at 2:43 a.m. local time regarding the continued eruption.</p>
<p>&#8220;The eruption continues at the summit of Mauna Loa,&#8221; U.S. Geological Survey reported. &#8220;All vents remain restricted to the summit area. However, lava flows in the summit region are visible from Kona. There is currently no indication of any migration of the eruption into a rift zone.&#8221;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Mauna Loa began to erupt at 11:30 PM HST on Sunday. The eruption is currently confined to the summit, and there is no indication that magma is moving into either rift zone.

<p>The Volcano Alert Level and Aviation Color Code for Mauna Loa remains at WARNING/RED, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.</p>
<p>The overnight eruption also led to several small earthquakes recorded in the area. Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/alert-level-raised-hawaiis-mauna-loa-volcano-after-eruption-usgs-2022-11-28/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> over a dozen tremors of more than 2.5 magnitude within two hours of Mauna Loa&#8217;s eruption, with the highest recorded at 4.2.</p>
<p>Hawaii&#8217;s Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has also issued advisory information regarding the eruption.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hawaii Volcano Observatory has received some reports of lava overflowing into the southwest portion on the Mauna Loa caldera, but at this point there are NO indications that it threatens populated areas. No evacuation orders are in place,&#8221; the EMA <a href="https://twitter.com/Hawaii_EMA/status/1597234352777089024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. &#8220;Shelters have been opened as a precaution in Pahala and at Old Airport in Kailua Kona, but roughly half of all recorded Mauna Loa eruptions have remained in the summit area without threatening populated areas.&#8221;</p>

The volcano last erupted in March and April of 1984, sending a flow of lava within five miles of the city of Hilo, Reuters added.</p>
<p data-testid="paragraph-6">The volcano has <a href="https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/mauna-loa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">erupted</a> 33 times since officials began documenting its activity in 1843. Its lava flows have reached the ocean eight times since 1868.</p>

<p>&#8220;Days of Our Lives&#8221; actor James Lastovic, 27, has been found after he was reported missing in Hawaii along with his roommate, 26-year-old Nevin Dizdari.</p>
<p>Dizdari&#8217;s sister shared a comment via Instagram stories, saying, &#8220;UPDATE: my sister and James are okay, they got lost on their hike but made it back to their car and are on their way back to the resort now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Entertainment Weekly <a href="https://ew.com/tv/james-lastovic-found-after-reported-missing-hawaii/?utm_campaign=entertainmentweekly_entertainmentweekly&amp;utm_content=new&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_term=6345c7c68e99c60001c45e9f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> with their hostess&#8217; husband that the two had been found safe after the actor&#8217;s mother reported them missing early on Tuesday, noting that they had gotten lost on a hiking trail — which caused them to miss their flight home.</p>
<p>Lastovic played <a href="https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/days-alum-missing-in-hawaii/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recurring character</a> Joey Johnson on the long-running daytime drama from 2015-17, and reprised the role again in 2020.</p>
<p>The actor&#8217;s mother, real estate agent Lucienne Lastovic, shared a <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/10/11/days-of-our-lives-actor-james-lastovic-missing-hawaii-kauai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">desperate plea</a> for help via Instagram early on Tuesday, noting that the two had been expected to fly home and had both missed their flight and failed to return their rental car — actions that she said were out of character for her son and his roommate.</p>

<p>Her caption began in all capital letters: &#8220;MISSING: JAMES LASTOVIC &amp; NEVIN DIZDARI: PLEASE REPOST. PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ANYONE YOU KNOW IN KAUAI. HAWAII.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;MY SON James AND HIS ROOMMATE Nevin ARE MISSING!&#8221; Lastovic&#8217;s caption continued. &#8220;These 2 young adults stayed over at the Hanalei Bay Resort this past Friday Oct 7, Saturday Oct 8, and yesterday, Sunday Oct 9. They were due to fly back today but never made their flight nor returned their rental car. Tthis is NOT LIKE THEM! They are both conscientious kids.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lastovic&#8217;s mother went on to say that the two had been heard from on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. — when they texted their hostess at the resort, Carrie Flanders. Flanders last saw them earlier that morning, around 8 a.m. local time.</p>
<p>According to Lastovic, the two had been inquiring about a couple of tourist spots prior to their departure from the resort, noting that they had asked for information about a hiking trail and a spot known for cliff diving.</p>
<p>&#8220;IMPORTANT: They asked for info about KOKEE state PARK so they could take the long trail hike. They also asked her directions to Shipwrecks Beach to the Cliff diving area,&#8221; Lastovic added. &#8220;They never returned back to the resort last night. They left all their belongings at the resort which are now in the police&#8217;s posession.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If you know ANYONE in Kauai, PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG,&#8221; Lastovic concluded, adding contact information for herself and for local police — and asking anyone who was available if they would be willing to go out to Kokee State Park to aid in search efforts.</p>
