The man accused of killing two people and wounding six others in an "unprovoked" attack on the Las Vegas Strip went into a fit of rage after a group of showgirls refused to take a picture with him, according to officials and a local report. Yoni Barrios, 32, approached the group of women on the famous Las Vegas Strip on Thursday and said he was a chef, local news station KTNV reported. Holding what police described as a "large knife with a long blade," he asked the women if they would pose for a photograph with him – then began attacking when they rebuffed him, the outlet reported.
As we all know, San Diego’s homeless crisis is only getting worse under the leadership of Mayor Todd Gloria, who continues to pretend like he is working to fix the issue. But all his efforts have failed. [snip] San Diego native Bill Walton is publicly calling out Mayor Todd Gloria’s failure publicly, saying Gloria has “failed us and yourself.” The Voice of San Diego reports that Walton has sent a series of emails to Mayor Gloria’s office, detailing his personal encounters with our homeless population.
Stanford plays a football game Saturday against one of the Pac-12 renegades: If things go according to the landscape-shattering plan, the game at Stanford Stadium will be the second-to-last time the Trojans ever travel to the Bay Area as a member of the Pac-12. UCLA, also a defector, will make its penultimate football trip in November to play Cal. So many things are troubling about the Southern California schools’ plan to become part of the Big Ten in 2024. [snip] And here’s another disconcerting issue: the environmental consequences of such a move. More travel means a larger carbon footprint and the devouring of more resources.
A married couple in Hawaii has been indicted for allegedly living under the identities of dead children from Texas for decades and conspiring against the government, according to unsealed federal court records. A federal grand jury in Honolulu indicted Walter Glenn Primrose and Gwynn Darle Morrison on conspiracy, aggravated identity theft, and false statements in the application and use of a passport. [snip] Federal prosecutors also say they have pictures of Primrose and Morrison in a KGB jacket which prosecutors entered into court as part of a motion to deny the couple bail.
The nine members of The Late Show staff arrested for 'unlawfully' entering the Capitol last month will not be prosecuted, the Department of Justice has ruled. The Capitol Police released a statement Monday night in an update on the incident involving members associated with Stephen Colbert's talk show on June 16. The U.S. Attorney's office then confirmed they would not be moving forward with the case because they 'wouldn't have been able to secure convictions', according to a statement obtained by Axios.
The military autopsy of Navy SEAL candidate Kyle Mullen, a Manalapan resident who died hours after completing the grueling portion of SEAL training known as “Hell Week” in early February, revealed the cause of death as pneumonia and indicated that the 24-year-old went untreated until it was too late. Regina Mullen, Kyle’s mother, received the report last week and shared its contents with the Asbury Park Press. [snip] The report names the official cause of death as “acute pneumonia due to Streptococcus pyogenes.” Streptococcus pyogenes is a Group A strep bacteria, which the report says “is capable of causing multiorgan failure and cardiovascular collapse via toxic shock.”
The 10-year Treasury yield pushed above 3% on Monday, a development that will raise costs for the federal government and portends higher rates on mortgages, credit cards, and other financial products. The recent run-up in interest rates on Treasury securities follows the Federal Reserve's accelerated efforts to tighten monetary policy by raising its short-term interest rate target. [snip] Yields on notes and bonds have begun to rise at a rapid clip.
After hearing concerns from students and parents, Patrick Henry High School will reinstate two honors courses that were cut by the principal, San Diego Unified School District officials told families Tuesday. The school in the San Carlos neighborhood is bringing back Honors American Literature and Honors U.S. History, two 11th-grade courses that Principal Michelle Irwin had eliminated from next school year’s course list without telling students or parents. [snip] There are still six other advanced courses missing from the catalog that Irwin had cut last year. Those will not be restored as of yet, according to district officials.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Democrat Abby Broyles, who drew national attention after admitting she blacked out at a sleepover for middle-school aged girls and vomited in a clothes hamper, announced Thursday she's dropping out of the race for Oklahoma's 5th Congressional District.

Omicron Death In Texas, But Hospital Says
NOT TRUE 8 replies
Earlier this week CNN falsely reported that an unvaccinated Texas Man became the first American to die from the Omicron variant. Unfortunately, it appears the Fake News network reported false information again, which in this case, has caused a lot of Americans undue stress as families are scheduled to celebrate Christmas together. Health authorities in Texas are rejecting the story, saying instead the man died with, not because of the COVID variant.

A walk down the main street in Hamtramck, Michigan, feels like a tour around the world. [snip] This month, the Midwestern city of 28,000 has reached a milestone. Hamtramck has elected an all-Muslim City Council and a Muslim mayor, becoming the first in the US to have a Muslim-American government.

LONDON -- The World Health Organization has renamed monkeypox as mpox, citing concerns the original name of the decades-old animal disease could be construed as discriminatory and racist. The U.N. health agency said in a statement Monday that mpox was its new preferred name for monkeypox, saying that both monkeypox and mpox would be used for the next year while the old name is phased out. WHO said it was concerned by the “racist and stigmatizing language” that arose after monkeypox spread to more than 100 countries. It said numerous individuals and countries asked the organization “to propose a way
The Dutch government plans to buy and close down up to 3,000 farms near environmentally sensitive areas to comply with EU nature preservation rules. The Netherlands is attempting to cut down its nitrogen pollution and will push ahead with compulsory purchases if not enough farms take up the offer voluntarily. Farmers will be offered a deal “well over” the worth of the farm, according to the government plan that is targeting the closure of 2,000 to 3,000 farms or other major polluting businesses. Earlier leaked versions of the plan put the figure at 120 per cent of the farm’s value
Sam Brinton, one of the first “openly genderfluid individuals in federal government leadership,” was charged with felony theft last month after allegedly stealing a woman’s luggage at MSP Airport.
The MIT grad went viral earlier this year when he announced his new role as the deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the U.S. Department of Energy. (snip) Prior to working in government, Brinton was an anti-conversion therapy activist who taught “Kink 101” workshops on college campuses, according to The National Pulse. A photo from one of these workshops shows Brinton in a dress as he stands over three males in leather dog masks.
Was Trump Our Captain Queeg?
22 replies
The Left, the NeverTrump Right, and many independents are tiring of Donald Trump’s recitations of prior, however justified, grievances at the hands of the media, the Democratic Party, the administrative state, and hard-core Left.
The conventional wisdom runs that Trump’s whines and victimization recitations reveal deep paranoias, and increasingly to an obsessive degree. We are told that his near neurotic obsessions with the unfairness of his critics are alienating the independent voter, who finds Trump’s strolls down 2020-21 memory lane the same-old, same-old ad nauseam.
Lawyers for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) of England and Wales tried to have a Christian street preacher convicted for quoting the Bible to a lesbian couple, insisting that scripture is “no longer appropriate in modern society “.
The extraordinary case, mounted in what is still nominally a Christian church, with an established church in which the head of state serves as Supreme Governor, was brought against armed forces veteran and throat cancer survivor John Dunn, after the police referred him to prosecutors for telling a lesbian couple that it “says in the Bible that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God” in Swindon.
Hawaii's Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world, has erupted for the first time in 38 years, triggering an ash fall warning and multiple earthquakes on Hawaii's main island.
The eruption began in the summit caldera of Mauna Loa late on Sunday night. Currently, the US Geological Survey does not believe there is any risk of magma fall, but an ash fall advisory has been issued.
Some residents of the South Kona coast have begun to voluntarily evacuate, though no evacuation orders are in place yet.
Historically, the volcano's lava rivers have flowed into different communities including Hilo, which has 45,248 residents, and Kukio -
Already out of Thanksgiving cheer, The New York Times delivered a cold housewarming greeting to the incoming Republican-controlled House of Representatives in Saturday’s “Meet the House Republicans Who Will Wield Power in the New Congress.” Reporters Catie Edmondson, Luke Broadwater, and Emily Cochrane made it clear what they thought of the incoming GOP, as an unwelcome disruptor of the poor put-upon Democratic President Biden: Republicans may have won control of the House by only the slimmest of margins, but in a chamber that operates purely by majority rule, their razor-thin edge has given them all the tools they need to plunge the Biden administration into a morass
Dr. Anthony Fauci is retiring at the end of the year. Yea! Fauci is doing media interviews on his way out of the door full of talk about his legacy and how politics should be kept out of investigations into the origins of COVID-19. Ugh.
On NBC’s Meet the Press, St. Anthony told Democrat operative Chuck Todd that he doesn’t align himself with either political party after Todd played a clip from Mike Pence saying Fauci aligned himself with Democrats. The conversation was about the lockdowns and restrictions that were supported by Fauci and other advisers. Remember when we were initially told the medical community needed two weeks
Jill Biden brought the people back to the 'People's House' with this year's White House Christmas decorations theme.
With the executive mansion open for holiday tours again now that the COVID pandemic is slowing down, the first lady picked 'We the People' to star in the decor, which features do-it-yourself style adornments and mirrors to reflect the visitors who walk through the halls.
More than 50,000 people are expected to tour the White House this holiday season, according to the East Wing.
The decorations include 77 Christmas trees, including three dedicated to Gold Star Families. There are 83,615 holiday lights that decorate the trees, garlands, wreaths, and displays around the mansion
President Biden urged Congress Monday to intervene to avert a "potentially crippling national rail shutdown," after multiple rail labor unions shot down an agreement brokered by the White House in September.
American consumers and virtually all industries could take a hit at the beginning of the holiday season if workers do strike as soon as Dec. 5. Congress could intervene and impose contract terms on railroad workers, which is what Mr. Biden is urging them to do. Thanks to the Railway Labor Act, passed in 1926, Congress can force workers back to their stations with a congressional resolution.
Soon-to-be stripped Schiff sneers at McCarthy’s

threat of removal from Intelligence Committee 18 replies
A defiant soon-to-be former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, scoffed at likely new Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s vow to strip him of his place on the powerful committee, resorting to his trademark conspiracy-mongering during one of his customary Sunday morning appearances on CNN.
Schiff smeared his fellow Californian by dredging up the batty Q-Anon conspiracy to insinuate that McCarthy is subservient to MAGA Republicans, like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Florida firebrand Rep. Matt Gaetz, as a means to flout his likely leadership of the Republican House caucus.
“McCarthy’s problem is not with what I have said about Russia. McCarthy’s problem is, he can’t get to 218 without
With just one week left until the deadline for railroad companies to reach a deal with 12 rail unions or else a nationwide strike will kick off, the White House doesn't seem to know what it's actually doing to help avert a strike — a strike that Biden already took a victory lap for supposedly averting in September.
The confusion may have gotten buried over the long Thanksgiving weekend, but President Joe Biden contradicted his own press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her claims about what Biden and his administration have been doing to try and prevent a strike that would cost the U.S. economy as much as $2 billion per day

No, it wasn't Belgians, angry over their loss to the s-hole country of Morocco. It was "Belgians", celebrating the victory by torching the country that took them in when they emigrated from the s-hole country of Morocco. Similar celebrations in Rotterdam.
