An American dad who moved his family to Russia to escape what he called LGBTQ+ \u201cindoctrination\u201d is now getting a very different kind of education – on the front lines of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Derek Huffman, 46, was reportedly promised a non-combat role as a correspondent or welder to move to Russia.<\/p>\n

Instead, he’s being \u201cthrown to the wolves,\u201d according to his wife, DeAnna, who posted a tearful plea on YouTube asking for prayers.<\/p>\n

With no military experience and only crash-course training, delivered entirely in Russia, Huffman may soon find out that dodging pronouns was the least of his problems.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump toadie Mike Johnson abruptly sent Congress home early, avoiding a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s long-secret files.<\/p>\n

The House Speaker accused Democrats of playing \u201cpolitical games\u201d with the paedophile\u2019s case, dismissing their push for transparency as a \u201cbattering ram\u201d against Republicans.<\/p>\n

But some in Trump\u2019s own party aren\u2019t quite ready to let the Epstein mess slip quietly away, claiming the files could blow open old Donnie’s friendship with Epstein.<\/p>\n

Rather than letting the files speak for themselves, Johnson pulled the plug, putting a lid on any effort to expose the truth and keep the president\u2019s name out of the headlines.<\/p>\n

So while Congress heads off on an extended holiday, the Epstein scandal quietly simmers on, proving once again that when it comes to facts or fake news, Trump\u2019s crew knows exactly how to call time.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

In the latest chapter of ‘Only in Florida,’ a Tampa man was arrested for allegedly driving while under the influence.<\/p>\n

Troopers found 38-year-old Christopher Spain parked on the shoulder of the Suncoast Parkway following reports of someone driving down the road like it was his front grass.<\/p>\n

Given that his mode of transport was a sit-down lawnmower, I was surprised.<\/p>\n

Sadly for Spain, DUI laws apply even when your ride tops out at five mph.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

A Louisiana man who asked police to help remove an unwanted houseguest got way more law enforcement than he bargained for after cops found three child-sized sex dolls in his bedroom instead.<\/p>\n

Marcus Guillory, 60, told officers he wasn\u2019t sure if the woman he knew as \u201cAretha\u201d was still hiding in his home, so he asked them to sweep the place.<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t find Aretha, but they did find enough disturbing dolls to trigger a full search warrant.<\/p>\n

Police say they recovered one anatomically correct infant doll and two others resembling children under 13.<\/p>\n

*** One enterprising mum is raking in up to \u00a3750 a day by selling her breast milk – not just to babies, but to biceps. While some of her liquid gold goes to new mums in need, a surprising number of buyers are muscle heads guzzling the stuff as a protein-packed pre-workout.<\/p>\n

The demand is so strong, she\u2019s been able to fund dream holidays and even a lavish wedding, all thanks to her high-value, all-natural milkshake bringing the bodybuilders to the yard.<\/p>\n
