A massive blaze that’s raging out of control is threatening Texas Panhandle towns and forcing residents to evacuate.

The Smokehouse Creek Fire, the largest wildfire burning in the region, has exploded to 200,000 acres since igniting Monday afternoon, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.

The blaze, driven by gusty winds and fueled by dry, unseasonably warm conditions, is moving incredibly rapidly and remains 0% contained.

Evacuations were ordered early Tuesday afternoon for parts of Hemphill and Roberts counties as the fire encroached on populated areas. This includes the town of Canadian, Texas, around an hour and half northeast of Amarillo, Texas.

Parts of Fritch, Texas, which straddles Moore and Hutchinson counties to the north of Amarillo, are also under an evacuation order for a separate fire, city officials and the Texas A&M Forest Service said.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott released a statement on the wildfires.

“I issued a disaster declaration today to deploy resources to 60 counties impacted by these devastating wildfires,” Abbott said. “Please take all precautions to protect yourself & your loved ones.”

“Thanks to the brave firefighters working 24/7 to protect their fellow Texans,” Abbott said of the wildfires.

Elementary school guidance counselor charged with sex crimes against child

An elementary school guidance counselor in Cleveland County is charged with sex crimes against a child.

Kings Mountain Police arrested Dustin Ledford, a guidance counselor at Fallston Elementary School, on Friday.

Parents at Fallston Elementary told Channel 9 they got messages from the school about the arrest.

The charges against Ledford are a result of incidents off campus.

Ledford is the second Cleveland County elementary school employee charged with child sex crimes in the last two weeks. Anthony Neal, a former physical education teacher at Washington Elementary School, resigned after investigators found child sexual abuse materials on his personal computer.

Tucker Carlson makes shocking revelation about Moscow trip (VIDEO)

The journalist claims the US spied on him as he tried to interview Edward Snowden

Tucker Carlson said on Tuesday that US spies had monitored him while he was in Russia earlier this month, and leaked to a ‘friendly’ outlet that he had met with Edward Snowden. This is despite the American journalist’s claim that he had tried to keep his meeting with the NSA whistleblower a secret.

Carlson went to Russia to interview President Vladimir Putin. During his eight days in Moscow, he also met with Snowden – and US spies found out about it, he told podcaser Lex Fridman in the course of a three-hour conversation.

“I was being intensely surveilled by the US government,” Carlson told Fridman, noting that US spies had thwarted his plans to interview Putin in 2021 and that he received confirmation that he was being intensely monitored ahead of his Moscow trip. “Then, I’m over there, and of course I want to see Snowden, whom I admire.”

Snowden allegedly accepted Carlson’s invitation to have dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel, but declined the interview as well as a photo request, saying that it would be better to tell no one.

“I didn’t tell anybody,” Carlson told Fridman, however the meeting was leaked. “Semafor runs this piece – reporting information they got from the US intel agencies, leaking against me, using my money, in my name, in a supposedly free country – they run this piece saying I met with Snowden, like it was a crime or something.”

“If you have a media establishment that acts as employees of the national security state, you don’t have a free country. And that’s where we are,” Carlson added.

Carlson revealed that he did not fear getting arrested in Russia at any point, but was warned by his lawyers that the US might arrest him depending on the content of the Putin interview.

“I felt not one twinge of concern for the 8 days that I was there,” he told Fridman about being in Moscow.

Before he left for Russia, his team of attorneys counseled him to “not do this… A lot will depend on the questions you ask of Putin. If you’re seen as too nice to him you could be arrested when you come back,” Carlson quoted the lead lawyer as saying, to which he said he replied, “You’re describing a fascist country, OK?”

In 2013, Snowden revealed that the NSA was systematically engaged in mass illegal spying on American citizens. Fearing for his safety, he fled to Hong Kong with the intent to reach Ecuador, which did not have an extradition treaty with the US, but was stopped during a layover in Moscow after Washington canceled his passport. Russia ended up granting him asylum and reportedly, eventual citizenship.

One of the founders of Semafor, the outlet to which Carlson claims US spies leaked his dinner with Snowden, is Ben Smith, a former editor-in-chief of the now defunct BuzzFeed newsroom. In 2017, Smith notoriously published the ‘Steele Dossier,’ a sham document leaked by US spies to discredit incoming President Donald Trump.

Murdoch MSM in Aus

‘They lied!’: Vaccine mandates for Queensland police and ambulance ruled ‘unlawful’

Covid vaccine mandates for Queensland police and ambulance workers were “unlawful”, the state’s supreme court has found in a bombshell decision.

Covid vaccine mandates for Queensland police and ambulance workers were “unlawful”, the state’s supreme court has found, with the bombshell ruling tipped to spark a wave of similar challenges.

Judge Glenn Martin on Tuesday ruled that Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll’s December 2021 order was “unlawful” under the Human Rights Act, and that Queensland Health Director-General John Wakefield’s vaccination requirement policy was “of no effect”.

The landmark decision resolved three separate lawsuits brought by 74 police officers, civilian staff and paramedics against the Queensland Police Service and Queensland Health for Covid vaccination mandates issued in 2021 and 2022.

The Police Commissioner and Director-General have been prevented from taking any further steps to enforce the orders, or from taking disciplinary actions against the applicants based on the failure to comply with the mandates.

“I have held that the Commissioner, in making the decisions the subject of contention, failed to give proper consideration to human rights relevant to those decisions,” Justice Martin said in his 115-page decision.

“As a result, those decisions were unlawful. Similarly, I have held that Dr Wakefield has not established that the direction he made is a term of the employment of the (Queensland Ambulance Service) applicants.”

In the case of Queensland Police, Justice Martin said there was “broad statutory power” to make directions which the Commissioner “considers necessary or convenient for the efficient and proper functioning of the police service” — but that such power was “not unlimited”.

Exercise of the power “must be assessed in the light of other factors” including “whether the direction is proportional to the problem it is intended to deal with” and “whether it needs to be considered in accordance with the provisions” of the Human Rights Act.

Justice Martin said Ms Carroll’s evidence about whether she gave “proper consideration to a relevant human right in making (the) decision” to issue the December 14 order was “vague and inconclusive”.
