A mentally ill gunman who killed 10 people at a Colorado supermarket was sentenced Monday to life in prison for murder after his family told the court they thought he was possessed by an 'evil spirit.' Ahmad Alissa's attempt to avoid prison time by pleading not guilty by reason of insanity was rejected by the jury, as victims' relatives recounted in pained testimony the lives he destroyed in the 2021 attack in the college town of Boulder.

Medieval English drawn hung disemboweled and quartered should have been Alissa's fate. Unfortunately American justice is too easy on Satan's evil spawn.

Every person who commits any murder is possessed by some sort of evil spirit. That does not excuse them from their evil act and is even more reason to jail them forever (if death penalty isn't available).

My daughter lived very near the store. She said she was on her way home and tried to stop at the store but there were dozens of cop cars and fire/rescue. She missed the guy by a few minutes. We then went in to find an armed guard at the entrance. She the guard was to calm rattled customers.

A simmering rift between Joe Biden's family and staff has finally boiled over after his disastrous debate performance last week. The president blamed a cold and a generally 'bad night' for looking frail, confused, and struggling to finish sentences during the showdown with Donald Trump. Biden defiantly declared he would contest the November 5 election and win, despite a push by some top Democrats to convince him to stand aside.

Planet Fitness' valuation has plummeted $400 million in five days after they banned a member who shared a photo of a 'trans woman' using a female locker room. The company's value dropped from $5.3 billion on March 14 to $4.9 billion on March 19, and its shares are down by 13.59 percent compared to a month ago. The decline follows Planet Fitness' refusal to walk back its decision to ban a member who exposed a 'trans woman' shaving in a female locker room earlier this month.

The state’s Child and Family Services (CFS) reportedly took custody of the teen from her father, Todd Kolstad, and stepmother, Krista, this month, leading the parents to speak out about how the action has “destroyed” their family and “trampled” their rights.

In what’s likely his final speech to the United Nations General Assembly, President Biden said on Tuesday that he thinks “every day” about the 13 Americans who died in a suicide bombing at Kabul’s airport — as Secretary of State Antony Blinken faces a possible House panel contempt vote later in the day. “Thirteen brave Americans lost their lives, along with hundreds of Afghans in a suicide bomb. I think [of] those lost lives — I think [of] them every day,” said Biden, 81, stumbling over his script. Biden called his August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan “a hard decision, but the right decision” during the lengthy speech,

"Zero Dark Thirty" was a pretty solid movie. I liked it because the producers and director didn’t sugarcoat the way that CIA operatives treated terrorists. Terrorists deserved their fate. The composite protagonist “Maya” was a CIA analyst who worked tirelessly to bring justice down on Osama Bin Laden — AKA a bullet to the brain. After Maya had fingered where Bin Laden was, she met with Leon Panetta, the then-head of the CIA. Panetta was portrayed by James Gandolfini. I don’t object to artistic license when actors portray real people, but Gandolfini was a big man: 6’1” and intimidating. He looked intimidating just standing still. Panetta,

Does the United States of America have a functioning president right now? That question isn’t meant to be provocative. Members of both major parties have noted that President Joe Biden seems to have gone AWOL from his official duties as the nation’s executive in chief. A large chunk of voters agree, saying they want Biden to leave office right away. In August’s I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,488 registered voters, taken from July 31-Aug. 2, shortly after the Democratic Party forced Biden to step down as his party’s candidate, we asked voters the following question: “Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?” \

Let’s skip ahead to after the election. No matter who wins, the next president will declare that they have a “mandate” to do something. And they will be wrong. The whole canard that a newly elected president is for some reason entitled to have their way is an invention. The word “mandate” doesn’t appear in the Constitution or the Federalist Papers. The myth can be traced to Andrew Jackson. (Snip) [T]he core problem with mandate-mania is this: Presidential electoral majorities never speak with one voice in favor of a policy platform.

Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, dumped over $500,000 worth of Visa stock just weeks before the Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit, according to the New York Post. The timing couldn’t be more suspect. Visa, one of the most dominant players in the debit card market, is now facing charges of monopolizing the industry. The DOJ’s antitrust unit claims Visa has abused its market power, forcing financial tech companies to work with them while penalizing those who try to go with competitors. According to the press release: According to the complaint, more than 60% of debit transactions in the United States run on Visa’s debit network,

An emotional President Joe Biden dabbed away tears Monday evening before he applauded Bill and Hillary Clinton for their uncommon “decency” then cooed “I love you” to the former first lady for publicly defending him. The octogenarian was attending the Clinton Global Initiative’s summit but was not listed to speak before the elite gathering. The New York Post (NYP) reports he appeared there in support of Jill Biden before being called to the stage himself to accept a Global Citizen award. “This is what you call being trapped,” Biden declared before thanking the former first couple for their support.
