LOS ANGELES — Rob Reiner and his longtime wife have been found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood home in an incident that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood.
Officers were called to the home Sunday afternoon, where they discovered a man and woman with stab wounds, according to cops and sources.
The Los Angeles Fire Department told NBC Los Angeles that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead inside the home.
The ages match those of Reiner and his wife, Michele, and Post sources confirmed the bodies discovered were the longtime couple, who married in 1989.
We have been covering the sudden resignation of the District of Columbia's police chief, Pamela Smith. Now, thanks to an investigation by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, we have a much clearer picture as to the reasons behind Chief Smith's resignation; namely, the testimony from several of her subordinates that she pressured them to alter records to make the crime rates in the District look much less dire than they actually were. It was these crime rates that prompted President Trump to deploy the National Guard to the capital city to restore order.
Now, it looks like that decision has been finally justified,

Chile hasn't had a conservate leader in decades, but as of Sunday night, that is over. As we predicted last month, Chileans took to the polls on Sunday and voted for former congressman José Antonio Kast to become the country's next president over Jeannette Jara, a member of the Communist Party.
You can tell what type of leader he'll be based on the MSM headlines. I just did a quick Google search to see what people were saying, and all the usual suspects are calling him "far-right" and "ultra-conservative." Let me interpret that for you.
Kast campaigned on being tough on crime and restoring

SYDNEY - Two alleged gunmen who killed 15 people at a Jewish celebration at Sydney's Bondi Beach were a father and son, police said on Monday, as Australia began mourning victims of its worst gun violence in almost 30 years.
The father, a 50-year-old, was killed at the scene, taking the number of dead to 16, while his 24-year-old son was in a critical condition in hospital, police said at a press conference on Monday. Officials have described Sunday's shooting as a targeted antisemitic attack. Forty people remain in hospital following the attack, including two police officers who are in a serious
SANTIAGO, Chile — Chile’s ultra-conservative former lawmaker José Antonio Kast secured a stunning victory in the presidential election Sunday, defeating the candidate of the center-left governing coalition and setting the stage for the country’s most right-wing government in 35 years of democracy.
Kast won 58.2% of the votes as Chileans overwhelmingly embraced his pledge to crack down on increased crime, deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status and revive the sluggish economy of one of Latin America’s most stable and prosperous nations.
His challenger, communist candidate Jeannette Jara, clinched 41.8% of the vote

Top Israeli officials accused the leftist government in Australia of failing to meaningfully confront antisemitism before the deadly terror attack against the Sydney Jewish community in Bondi on Sunday.
Multiple gunmen opened fire at a Hanukkah event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday, killing at least 11 and injuring 29, including a Rabbi, a police officer, and an Israeli citizen, in what is being described as a terrorist attack. One of the suspected attackers was reportedly killed during the incident, while the other is said to remain in custody.

The religion of climate alarmism is in decline. The election of Donald Trump, along with high-profile defections from the climate alarmist priesthood, has begun to alter the debate over climate change.
Trump's election brought to Washington cadres of climate change realists who are transforming the U.S. energy sector. Let's hope they're not too late. The Biden crackdown on fossil fuels and the continued demonization of nuclear power have put the United States behind the eight ball on energy. With the massive increase in demand for electricity going hand-in-hand with the artificial intelligence revolution, it's an open question whether or not we can keep pace with the electrical needs

Rep.

Medea Benjamin, who co-founded CODEPINK and identifies herself on X as a “peace activist,” posted to the platform on Tuesday: “We visited Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene today to thank her for becoming such a strong anti war voice in congress and tell her we will miss her.”
On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that a government shutdown “hurts people so much.” But “people now see who’s on their side.”

But you said, at the time, politically, we have won this battle. I didn’t want the government to reopen, but we have won this battle politically. And a lot of people mocked you, but you look at what’s happened. Look at the fact that,
Oklahoma City Black Lives Matter Executive Director Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson has been charged with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering after allegedly spending millions in donations on personal indulgences.
Dickerson took over as the director of Black Lives Matter OKC (BLMOCK) in 2016 and since 2020 has raised more than $5.6 million for what donors believed was a national bail fund.

The Indiana senate rejected Thursday the Trump-backed congressional gerrymander designed to allow Republicans to capture two more House seats in what is expected to be a difficult 2026 midterm cycle.
In a 19 – 31 vote, Indiana’s upper chamber shot down the House-passed gerrymander, a major defeat for President Trump given the extraordinary months-long pressure campaign he waged in favor of the new map.
Hoosier state senate Republicans were deeply divided on the redistricting effort, despite national pressure to get it done.

In the aftermath of the massive Feeding Our Future scandal and broader allegations of systemic fraud in Minnesota’s social programs, a troubling theme has emerged: accusations of racism repeatedly used to deflect scrutiny, intimidate investigators and stall accountability.
Rumors and reports of fraud in Minneapolis, primarily within the city’s exploding Somali community, have been circulating for at least a decade, but criticism of the fraud has been largely dismissed by elected Democrats as "racist" or being underpinned by animosity toward foreigners. News stories focused on Somali fraudsters in recent years were shot down as "racist."
New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has said he may arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents if he determines they are breaking the law.
During an interview with MSNOW Senior Political and National Reporter Jacob Soboroff, Mamdani was asked about how he intends to follow through on his promise to help block President Trump’s policy of mass deportation of illegal aliens residing in New York City.
Here is a transcript of the exchange:
Nearly five years after two pipe bombs turned up outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters on Jan. 6, 2021, the FBI finally made an arrest earlier this month.

A “person of interest” in the Brown University mass shooting is in custody following an 11-hour manhunt — as witnesses revealed he shouted something before opening fire.
Two students were killed and nine others wounded in the attack on a final exam study session.
Witnesses said that the gunman shouted something, but revealed they were not sure exactly what. Detectives are still trying to figure out what the gunman said, authorities revealed.
It was also revealed that the gunman had a firearm with unique characteristics that helped cops tie him to the deadly shooting, according to NBC News.

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said the Brown University shooting was a result of President Donald Trump’s “dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country.”
Murphy said, “If you look at states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, California that have stronger laws, we have gun violence rates, murder rates, mass shooting rates that are two to 3 to 4 times lower than states that have loose gun laws. And many of the weapons that are used in our states for gun crimes come to our states from those states that have an ability for criminals and people with serious mental illness to buy weapons.
Twelve people have died – including one suspected gunman – after a terrorist attack on Sydney’s Bondi Beach targeted Jewish families celebrating Hanukkah, police have confirmed.
At least 29 people were injured in the mass shooting on Sunday evevning, including two police officers, while searches of the area continue after improvised explosive devices were found in a car near the scene.
A second suspected attacker detained following the incident is in a critical condition. New South Wales Police Force, who locked down the area and urged the public to take shelter, have said they will investigate whether there is a third attacker or anyone else linked to the atrocity.
Mark Kelly: unworthy of respect
14 replies
Among the first things I taught my new students at the beginning of every new school year was the difference between deference and respect. One defers to others because of their position of authority, regardless of whether they are honest, honorable, decent and capable. Respect, however, must be earned every day. We defer to others because of their positions and to a lesser degree, their accomplishments. We respect others because of who they are, because they’ve proved themselves worthy of our respect regardless of their positions of authority.
In the military, you defer to rank, but you respect those who don’t trade on it, or who fling their accomplishments
Two people were found dead Sunday afternoon inside a Brentwood home owned by director and actor Rob Reiner, multiple law enforcement sources told NBCLA. The LA Fire Department said a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old. LAPD Robbery Homicide Division detectives were assigned to the case. Several other LAPD officials said they were aware of the investigation but could not share any information. There is a large police presence at the home Sunday evening. LAFD paramedics were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:30 p.m. Within a few
