It is being told that in the last two days, four decapitated bodies and many body parts have been recovered from Ramgarh police station area. The condition of the dead bodies is so bad that identifying them has become a big challenge for the police. After the continuous discovery of dead bodies, a large number of police forces have been deployed in the Ramgarh police station premises and surrounding areas. Police are matching the missing cases registered in nearby districts and police stations. Officials say that the matter is being investigated seriously from every angle.

What did the police say?
SDPO Pradeep Kumar said that on May 10, some parts of two unidentified bodies were recovered from the Durgavati river of Ramgarh police station area. Some parts of the body were also found on the banks of Karmanasha river near Abhaide village. Prima facie the police is investigating all these cases considering them to be interconnected.

He said that till now the entire body has not been recovered from anywhere. In the initial investigation, the bodies of a child, a man and a woman are suspected to be dead, while the identity of the fourth body is not yet clear. The situation will become clear after the post mortem report comes.

SDPO appealed to the people and said that if there is information about any person missing then they should immediately inform the police. Police are investigating all possible aspects. The name of a trailer found on the child’s clothes is also being verified.

Former Virginia AG Miyares mocks Dems for filing appeal to wrong court


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Democrats in Virginia apparently filed their redistricting appeal to the wrong Supreme Court, drawing even more mockery in a heated battle over the district lines of the state’s congressional map.

Jason Miyares, the former attorney general of Virginia, led the criticism online on Tuesday, pointing to a previous mistake where Democrats spelled the commonwealth’s name incorrectly on legal documents.

“Good news: Dems managed to spell Virginia correctly,” Miyares said in a post to X. “Bad news: They sent their emergency application to SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) to the wrong court.”

“Baby steps,” the former Republican AG quipped.

Sure enough, Virginia legislators emblazoned their emergency petition with an address “to the Supreme Court of Virginia” instead of the highest U.S. court, according to an image of the document shared on social media by Miyares.

He was also one to point out on Friday Democrats’ misspelling of the state as “Virgnia” rather than “Virginia” in their filing to the Supreme Court. In that same mistake-riddled document, they wrote “Sentator” instead of Senator.

Miyares’ latest jab adds insult to injury as Democrats are still reeling from a Virginia Supreme Court decision that struck down a set of new maps designed to overwhelmingly favor their party in the November midterm elections. The post also highlights Republican glee at the foiled maps as Democrats hope to keep their gerrymandering push alive by advancing the issue to the Supreme Court (SCOTUS).

The new maps would have eliminated as many as four Republican-leaning districts.

Virginia’s highest court ruled late last week that Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger had improperly fast-tracked a constitutional amendment that temporarily undid state-level prohibitions on gerrymandering.

In particular, the court ruled that Spanberger’s redistricting push skirted requirements that any constitutional amendment must receive the approval of two separate sessions of the Virginia legislature before it can be put to a statewide referendum.

Most importantly, at least to the state court’s decision, is that those sessions must be decisively separated by an election.

By the time the referendum reached consideration in the General Assembly last year, early voting for 2025 had already begun. This led Virginia’s court to conclude the amendment’s consideration had not meaningfully been separated by a full election and therefore could not be upheld.

Virginia is now asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on state-level laws, arguing that the court “impermissibly transgressed the ordinary bounds of judicial review.”

It’s unclear when the matter may reach consideration before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Sam Altman says Elon Musk wanted 90 percent of OpenAI in high-stakes trial | Courts News

0

In a United States court, OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has rejected claims from fellow tech mogul Elon Musk that he betrayed the artificial intelligence company’s original vision.

Tuesday marked the start of Altman’s testimony in a contentious trial unfolding in Oakland, California, between some of tech’s richest and most powerful titans.

Recommended Stories

list of 3 itemsend of list

Musk, the wealthiest man in the world, has sued Altman and OpenAI president Greg Brockman on the basis that they “stole a charity” by shifting its purpose.

He alleged that OpenAI’s leader persuaded him to invest $38bn, based on a goal of improving humanity, only to see the company pivot to a for-profit venture in 2019.

On the witness stand on Tuesday, Altman instead framed Musk as a competitor obsessed with exercising control over OpenAI.

“It does not fit with my conception of the words ‘stealing a charity’ to look at what has actually happened here,” Altman told the court.

The two men have long had an acrimonious relationship, driven in part by differing views about artificial intelligence.

Musk — a self-described free speech “absolutist” — currently runs his own AI chatbot, Grok, which has been accused of perpetuating right-wing conspiracy theories and offensive materials.

He is seeking $150bn in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, one of its principal investors.

Altman’s testimony comes more than two weeks into the trial, which has seen him and Musk square off against each other.

In his testimony, Altman argued that Musk knew of the plans to develop OpenAI into a for-profit enterprise when he invested, and he asserted that Musk even petitioned to have a majority stake in the company.

“An early number that Mr Musk threw out was that he should have 90 percent of the equity to start,” Altman told the jury. “It then softened, but it always was a majority.”

The outcome of the trial could determine the future of OpenAI, its leadership, and products like ChatGPT. As part of his lawsuit, Musk is pushing for the removal of Altman and Brockman.

The trial comes as OpenAI prepares for a potential initial public offering that could see it valued at $1 trillion, a historically large sum.

During earlier testimony, Musk portrayed Altman as a liar who could not be trusted with the development of the technology.

“If you have someone who is not trustworthy in charge of AI, I think that’s a very big danger for the whole world,” Musk said.

Musk’s lawyer, Steven Molo, also sought to undermine Altman’s reliability during questioning on Tuesday.

“Have you misled people when you do business?” Molo asked Altman.

“I do not think so,” Altman replied.

Altman, meanwhile, sought to cast doubt on Musk’s leadership; Musk ultimately left OpenAI’s board in 2018 to pursue his own AI development.

“I don’t think Mr Musk understood how to run a good research lab,” Altman said. “He had demotivated some of our most key researchers.”

The US public, for its part, has been largely unconvinced by high-minded rhetoric about the transformative potential of AI.

A March 2026 poll by the Pew Research Center suggested that a majority of respondents in the US believe AI will worsen, rather than improve, the ability to think creatively, form meaningful relationships, make difficult decisions, and solve problems.

Just 10 percent of respondents said they were more excited than concerned about the increased use of AI in daily life.

But the industry has been quick to translate its substantial economic power into political influence as lawmakers consider how best to regulate the technology.

The use of AI has emerged as an election-season issue as the US midterms approach in November, and the administration of President Donald Trump has proposed a “national policy framework” for the technology to avoid a patchwork of state regulations.

The AI industry has become a driver of eye-watering investment in recent years, with the United Nations estimating that the global market could be worth $4.8 trillion by 2033.

Taiwan watching closely as President Trump prepares to meet Xi in China


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan: President Donald Trump’s meetings with communist China’s supreme leader Xi Jinping in Beijing will be keenly watched here in Taiwan, from the presidential office to military command centers and semiconductor company boardrooms. The key question many are asking is whether Trump negotiates with China from a position of strength, or leaves Taiwan exposed?

The de facto independent nation of 23 million people has spent decades living under threat from the Chinese Communist Party, which claims Taiwan as its territory despite never having ruled it for even a day.

Observers here warn that Xi may try to offer Trump a deal: cooperation on tariffs, fentanyl, U.S. business access, or global flashpoints like Iran and Ukraine in exchange for Trump accepting a larger Chinese role in Taiwan’s future.

Taiwan’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Francois Wu recently told Bloomberg News, “What we are the most afraid is to put Taiwan on the menu of the talk between Xi Jinping and President Trump.”

Huang Kwei-bo, a professor in National Chengchi University’s Department of Diplomacy, told Fox News Digital that Taiwan shouldn’t assume nothing will change. “Taiwan shouldn’t rule out the possibility that the United States and mainland China could reach an understanding behind the scenes, agreeing to reduce arms sales to Taiwan, or become less active in helping us meaningfully participate in international space,” he said.

In comments on Monday, President Trump acknowledged China’s dislike of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, and said the topic would be “one of the many things I’ll be talking about.” 

CHINA LAUNCHES LARGEST MILITARY DRILLS OFF TAIWAN IN 8 MONTHS WITH LIVE-FIRE EXERCISES CAUGHT ON CAMERA

Over the past week, more than 50 communist Chinese aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line or entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone. 

Those numbers are not a dramatic new escalation. In Taiwan, they are increasingly seen as part of a new normal: a sustained pressure campaign that falls short of war but keeps Taiwan’s military on alert. China also intentionally damages the undersea cables that connect Taiwan to the internet, hacks into Taiwan’s computer systems daily, and floods social media with content that praises the communist party.

Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is a major concern for Washington. The island is home to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC, the dominant producer of the world’s most advanced semiconductors. Those chips are used in smartphones, cars, artificial intelligence systems and U.S. defense technology. Any conflict or blockade that cuts Taiwan off from global markets would ripple through American factories, consumers, technology companies and military planning.

However, as the leaders of the two nations most closely intertwined with Taiwan’s future meet, there is no outward sense of panic here.

“Most people here are not obsessed with China every day,” Audrey Chiang, who runs a tourist souvenir shop in Kaohsiung, told Fox News Digital. Chiang has a son who is just a few years away from serving one year as a military conscript, a 2024 response to China’s invasion threats. “We go to work. We worry about the next big test at our kids’ school. We complain about traffic. But everyone knows things can change very quickly.”

Taiwan’s legislature on May 8 passed a near US$25 billion supplemental defense spending bill, meant in part to signal to Washington that Taipei isn’t simply depending on America to protect itself. But the package was smaller than the almost US$40 billion requested by Taiwan President Lai Ching-te’s administration. 

Taipei-based American political analyst, Ross Darrell Feingold, told Fox News Digital that many in Taiwan assume that the U.S., and possibly Japan, will come to the island’s defense in the event of a war. “Going back to the Cold War when the U.S. had a treaty obligation to defend Taiwan, and even after the treaty was abrogated, the consistent assumption is that the U.S. president will send in the military to save Taiwan. More recently, there is a growing assumption Japan will do so as well. But Taiwan still must do what is necessary to prove to its partners that Taiwan’s own people will be on the front line,” he said.

CHINA PROMISES ‘COUNTERMEASURES’ TO US ARMS SALE TO TAIWAN

Taiwan’s main political parties have major differences in their approaches to China, but broadly support U.S. arms purchases and agree that Beijing is a threat to democratic Taiwan.

Chinese officials insist Taiwan’s status is an “internal affair.” Taiwan’s elected government rejects that, and so do most Taiwanese, who see Taiwan’s future as something only they should decide.

National Pingtung University Associate Professor Paul Lee is among those who think Xi Jinping is going to push the U.S. president hard on Taiwan. Speaking by phone, he told Fox News Digital that “Xi Jinping almost certainly wants one clear change from the U.S., he’ll want Trump to say the United States ‘opposes Taiwan independence’ rather than the language it uses now that is closer to ‘does not support Taiwan independence.’ To be frank, I don’t think President Trump sees Taiwan as that important – except as the producer of the world’s most advanced semiconductors, and as a source of some revenue from weapons sales.” Lee notes that the difference between “doesn’t support” and “opposes” may not seem like much for Trump, but for Xi, it would be viewed as a major victory.”

For Taiwan’s ruling party, and anyone in Taiwan who supports moves by Lai and his predecessor to establish at home and abroad that Taiwan is not part of China, such a change in language would come as a blow as it implies that the U.S. does not agree with the people of Taiwan having the right to self-determination on their future, Lee explained, and he said Xi Jinping wouldn’t be satisfied with Trump simply saying a few sentences. 

“Trump has roughly three years left on his second term, and Xi will want to ensure the ‘oppose independence’ language translates into a new framework with new rules such as not letting Taiwan President Lai transit through the U.S., as one example. Xi knows U.S. presidents come and go, so the goal is to create a tacit agreement that Taiwan is in the Chinese sphere of influence, he said.

Lee said China has been patiently waiting for an opportune moment, and the war in Iran, tariffs and other issues facing President Trump is presenting exactly that.

Lee said Taiwan’s government and academic community will closely scrutinize the official translations of what the two sides “agree” on. “Put simply,” Lee said, “if Xi Jinping agrees to help make things easier for Trump, Xi will not be satisfied with cryptically worded official press releases. He will want to see the beginning of a new U.S.-China framework for dealing with Taiwan.”

Capacity of lifts not kept up with UK obesity levels, study shows | Obesity

0

Lifts are no longer big enough to fit the UK’s larger citizens, according to researchers.

A study of maximum capacity in elevators in the UK and mainland Europe found lifts have not kept up with increasing obesity levels, raising concerns about safety and equity.

The research, presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Istanbul, Turkey, used photos of weight limits for 112 lifts manufactured between 1972 and 2024 in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria and Finland.

Prof Nick Finer, the president and chair of the International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organisation and lead author of the study, compared the average maximum weight allowance (total weight allowance divided by maximum passenger limits) with the average adult weight in the year the lift was manufactured.

The research found that despite adults’ continued growing weight, total lift limits have not increased since about 2004. In the mid-1970s, the average British man weighed 75kg and a woman 65kg, but that has swelled to 86kg and 73kg respectively.

Maximum allowances rose from about 62kg a person in 1972 to 75kg in 2002, broadly in line with average body weight increases during this time. But most lift manufacturers assumed average weight remained at 75kg, 4kg lighter than the average adult.

“What seems to have happened is there was a shift to manufacturers calculating the amount of room you take up on the floor [rather than weight],” said Finer. “But they assume the shape of a person is an oval rather than a circle. They have completely failed to recognise that if obesity is increasing then so is the amount of room you take up.”

Lifts that are too small caused potential safety issues, with designs based on “flawed calculations”, Finer said. “The ability to transport people up floors in a speedy time is impacted if you can only get half the number of people in the lift that you designed them for.”

Lifts could cut out, for example, if the passengers exceeded the total weight limits. “But perhaps even more important than that is the stigma that [people with obesity] may experience on entering lifts – a form of everyday weight discrimination.”

Finer added that “we need sadly, to super-size many of the things in life” to be suitable and safe for people living with obesity, as otherwise they would be excluded from society. “If we don’t recognise growing trends in obesity and body size then we’re really making it hard for those people to function in our society.”

Responding to the study’s findings, Jane DeVille-Almond, the president of the British Obesity Society, said: “We need to accept that society is unlikely to revert to sizes from 50 years ago, and start developing facilities for the 21st century.”

Louise Payne, a registered nutritionist, said: “It’s clear public spaces aren’t always designed with larger bodies in mind. This is not simply an issue of comfort, it’s about dignity, accessibility, and inclusion.

“Nobody should feel embarrassed, unsafe, or excluded when using public transport or accessing everyday services.”

Brazilian President’s political bet: Plan worth billions five months before the elections, claim – the back of the criminal-mafia will be broken – Brazil Lula Launches Anti Organized Crime Project Ahead Of Elections 2026

0

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has played a big political gamble before the upcoming elections. Lula’s government on Tuesday launched a mega project worth 11 billion reais, or about $2 billion, to combat organized crime. This is being considered an attempt to strengthen Lula’s image on the public security front.



Emphasis on modern weapons along with security budget
Under this program, huge investment will be made in public safety. The government said that out of this, 1 billion reais i.e. 190 million dollars will be spent by December this year. The main objective of this scheme is to stop arms smuggling and break the economic back of criminal organizations. Along with this, there will also be investment in murder investigation and reform of the prison system.

Police will be equipped with hi-tech equipment
Police will be provided with state-of-the-art technology to curb criminals. The government will purchase equipment like drones, body scanners, metal detectors and cellphone signal blockers. Apart from this, X-ray machines, DNA tracking equipment and modern radar systems will also be purchased. The direct target of this campaign is Brazil’s two most dreaded gangs, First Command of the Capital-PCC and Red Command-CV.

Discuss security with Donald Trump
Lula, who is preparing for his fourth term, said that during his visit to Washington last week, he talked to US President Donald Trump on security issues. According to Lula, he told Trump that many weapons used in Brazil come from America. If America wants to support this fight, it will have to work according to the rules of the Brazilian government and the police there.

opposition’s counterattack
Opposition parties have raised questions on this plan of Lula. Opposition governors have shown hesitation on the use of this fund. Leaders such as senators Flavio Bolsonaro and Ronaldo Caiado have described Lula’s party as soft on crime. However, Vice President Geraldo Alcmin hit back, saying that former President Jair Bolsonaro’s policy was only to distribute weapons, which ultimately ended up in the hands of criminals.

USMNT’s Miles Robinson says 2026 World Cup would be full-circle moment


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Miles Robinson knows his worth as a center-back, and he’s confident he can make an impact for the United States men’s national team in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Of course, it’s not up to Robinson to decide if he’s worthy enough for this year’s U.S. roster.

That’s the job of USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who will lead his first World Cup for the Stars and Stripes. But he knows what Robinson brings to the table, as he was a part of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup roster last summer.

Robinson won’t know his fate until May 26, but while he focuses on the present with his FC Cincinnati club during this Major League Soccer season, he’s still thinking about what it could mean to be a part of his first World Cup of his career.

“It would mean so much. I think it’s one of those things where I envisioned myself like when I was seven, watching the World Cup or whatever. I almost like dreamed I could do, but I never really believed it. Then, next thing you know, I’m actually playing for the national team and things like that,” he told Fox News Digital, while highlighting his partnership with Bounty.

“So, for it to actually happen would be this whole full-circle moment that I’ll make sure I’ll tell other kids that I really just believed in myself and I think that’s the type of thought process that can get people much farther than they really can imagine. It’s just that deep sense of belief within yourself and grounding yourself in love. It can really go a long way.”

Belief in one’s self was tested for Robinson after he suffered a ruptured left Achilles in May 2022 — just one month before potentially participating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. It was widely expected that he would be a part of former head coach Gregg Berhalter’s roster, but during a game against the Chicago Fire, he suffered the injury that forced him out.

It was a rough time for Robinson, as one might expect. But it also pushed him down a road that forced mental and physical fortitude. Now, he believes that made him a better player, and person, than ever before. 

One prepared for this World Cup moment four years later.

“I think in those tough moments, you learn the most about yourself,” he explained. “I definitely learned a lot about just kind of overcoming struggles, on and off the field. I think it was a tough moment for me, but I grounded myself in gratitude and being so grateful for my friends and family who supported me, and my teammates who wished good things upon me and my leg and things like that.

 “Then, I recognized it was me versus me. It’s not about anything else. I just wanted to continue to get better and improve just for me rather than for anything else or anyone else. That’s when I definitely took that next step in my career and my development as a player and as a person.”

USMNT CAPTAIN TYLER ADAMS SAYS FIFA WORLD CUP CAN ‘BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER’ DESPITE ‘CRAZY’ TIMES IN WORLD

Healthy and hungry, Robinson is gunning for that USMNT roster, but he also understands being in the present until May 26. That includes focusing on FC Cincinnati’s game against Inter Miami, the team that bounced them from last year’s MLS Playoffs, on Wednesday night at home. 

“Every game’s an opportunity to show yourself, but also to get better and improve. For Miami and Cincinnati, Miami kicked us out of the playoffs last year, so we got that kinda bitter taste in our mouth,”he said. “For us, it’s focusing on how we play, how we press and if we do that, it should be a great game. In the back of our minds, it’s the future, but we’re trying to focus in on the present.”

While Robinson, and the rest of the USMNT hopefuls, focus on the present with their respective clubs, they are also sitting in suspense like the rest of soccer fans in hopes they hear their names called to represent their country in the biggest tournament in the world. 

“I’m just grateful to be in this situation, potentially on the roster,” Robinson admitted. “I’m just trying to chip away. I’m healthy. …In general, I’m just grateful and I’m excited for sure because I know this summer’s going to be amazing.”

CLEANING UP WITH BOUNTY

One way that Robinson can get his mind off the potential USMNT roster is by grilling in his spare time on his Cincinnati deck. It’s a passion of his to whip up some grub for his teammates, friends and family, but the more that come, the more chance of a mess happening. 

Robinson partnered with Bounty, the American paper towel brand, to preach about the right way of cleaning messes up, whether it be at home, or tailgating before a match.

“The biggest mess I probably ever cleaned up, recently I was grilling on my deck and I had a beverage that spilled and there was glass and beverage everywhere,” he revealed. “Gladly, I had Bounty and one sheet swiped it all away. It was all good, honestly.

“Sometimes, have to clean up some mistakes from my teammates and Bounty hooked it up with this sponsorship, so I’m proud to be a part with them because they’re always cleaning up messes as well.”

Death of man struck by Frontier Airlines plane ruled suicide by medical examiner | Denver

0

The man who was fatally struck on Friday by a departing Frontier Airlines flight on the runway of Denver international airport died by suicide, the city’s medical examiner said Tuesday at a news conference.

On Friday evening, the man, identified as 41-year-old Michael Mott, jumped an 8-ft fence with barbed wire onto the runway, according to Phillip Washington, the airport’s chief executive. Roughly 2 mins lapsed between Mott’s breach of the runway and when he was hit by the Frontier aircraft.

Mott was not an airport employee. He had previous contact with metropolitan-area law enforcement, said Ron Thomas, the Denver police chief. It’s unclear what the contact entailed.

The determination of Mott’s manner of death was based on an investigation and scene findings, said Sterling McLaren, a medical examiner. Mott suffered “multiple blunt and sharp force injuries”.

Friday’s deadly collision has raised questions about the airport’s security.

“After the incident, we examined the fence, as we do on a regular basis, and found it to be intact,” Washington said. The airport’s perimeter fencing spans 36 miles.

Ground detection sensors set off an alarm near where Mott scaled the fence. An investigator reviewing the alarm identified a herd of deer, but did not initially see Mott, according to Washington.

“The camera view was alternating between the wildlife and the individual,” Washington said. “Given the short time period, we were not able to intervene and prevent this person from reaching the runway.”

The airport is not considering electrifying the fence or making it taller. “We believe a motivated individual could find a way to penetrate it,” he said.

Asked by a reporter about changes to the perimeter security, Washington said “we will look to see what improvements we can make”.

The Transportation Security Administration sets guidance about the dimension and heights of airport fencing, which Washington said the airport has adhered to.

Washington touted the track record of the airport’s current “layered” security plan, which involves patrols and technology. There have been previous fence jumpers, he said, but an exact estimate was not provided.

Thomas said law enforcement is looking for individuals that knew Mott and evaluating whether mental health issues factored into his actions.

It’s unclear how Mott reached the fence. Police did not find a vehicle or bicycle in the surrounding farmland area on the airport’s eastern perimeter.

Frontier flight 4345, bound for Los Angeles international airport, was carrying 224 passengers and seven crew members. Mott was pulled into the aircraft’s engine, sparking a fire and the evacuation of the plane.

Smoke reportedly poured into the air cabin, making it difficult for some passengers to breathe.

Twelve individuals on board reported minor injuries, according to Washington. Five people were transported to local hospitals, four of whom have since been released.

Addressing the passengers, Washington said: “I want to acknowledge what a difficult and scary experience you had.”

A Washington manufacturer is leaving the state after nearly five decades, with its owner citing rising crime, taxes and a worsening political climate.

Jon Bodwell, whose family founded Delta Camshaft in 1977, said he has been forced to live inside his business because the cost of operating in Washington has become too high.

“A majority of it is the constant battle with the city over the graffiti and the crime stuff here, the constant massive tax increase, everything is increasing,” Bodwell told Fox News Digital in an interview Tuesday.

“The cost of power, the cost of insurance, everything is increasing by large increments. It’s not like one or two percent, it’s like, my insurance went up 20%,” he added. “My power bill is going up. The claim is supposed to be going up another 13%. But just last month, it almost doubled.”

Delta Camshaft manufactures and repairs camshafts, which control how an engine takes in air and fuel and expels exhaust.

On its website, the company says that it “is not closing,” but that “our plan is to relocate the business and continue to serve our customers for years to come.” 

Because crime is running rampant, my insurance policy on the building is skyrocketed,” Bodwell said. “You know, quite a substantial amount in the past three to five years. And then, officers that I do speak with about the graffiti stuff like that they’ll say it takes longer for them to write the report than it does if they arrest the person,” he said, adding that “the criminals basically have more protective rights than I do as the building owner.

According to an FBI crime report for 2024, released in August, Seattle was ranked fourth-worst out of the 30 largest American cities for total crime. 

Bodwell said his move out of Washington state might cost him upwards of $100,000, but that he believes he will be able to make up the money once he has moved his business.

“A few years ago, I should have sold it, sold the building when people were buying and moving into the downtown Tacoma,” he told Fox News Digital. “And now there’s just a ton of buildings for sale in the market because everyone’s leaving.”

Bodwell and Delta Camshaft are far from the only ones planning to leave Washington.

A recent survey by the Association of Washington Business reported on by The Center Square found that 44% of business leaders said they are considering moving their personal residence out of state, with businesses also saying they are now more than twice as likely to expand outside of Washington than within it.

In March, Washington state Democrats passed the “millionaires tax,” which Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson signed on March 30. It’s the state’s first-ever income tax, pushed by progressives and opposed by conservatives.

“If I was in my younger years, if I was in my mid-20s or 30s, I would go into politics to stop what’s occurring now,” he said. “Unfortunately, I’m 56 with some very bad health issues that won’t allow me to be around for a whole lot longer with my lungs and heart issues. But I definitely, I wish I could go back to get involved in politics to stop what’s occurring.
